What are you thinking?
I know you see
your cell phone blinking
Backwards
and forward I'm pacing
Trying to figure out
why you aint calling me back
What does it all mean?
Maybe you're trying
to show me something
But you aint
gotta do it this way, no
Put yourself in my shoes
Tell me what would you do
[Chorus]
She knows
I've been hitting her
on the phone
And I know
she's been gettin it
something's wrong
Could it be
that she's with the other dude
from her past
I know damn well that she aint
Sittin there laughin
with her girlfriends
Lookin at the number
talking bout it's him again
I know
she better call pretty soon
Im gonna send the boys
to find out
just why she's been M.I.A
Is it a problem?
And if its really one
I'ma solve it
Dont know how
you handled other dudes
but I'm not them
Girl you runnin around
got 'em thinkin
that I can't handle my thang
Ooh, are you crazy?
Did you really think you could play me?
Im bout to show up on your doorstep
and you better answer when I knock
Knock, you better be by yourself
[Chorus]
She knows
I've been hitting
her on the phone
And I know
she's been gettin it
something's wrong
Could it be
that she's with the other dude
from her past
I know damn well that she aint
Sittin there laughin
with her girlfriends
Lookin at the number
talking bout it's him again
I know she better call pretty soon
Im gonna send the boys to find out
just why she's been M.I.A
You cant run
(cause the boys are gonna find ya, girl)
You cant hide
(cause you know i'm right behind ya, girl)
If you tellin the truth
then why you actin like you scared?
Over there
You cant run
(cause them boys are gonna find ya, ooh)
You cant hide
(cause you know i'm right behind ya, ooh)
If what you say is true
then why you cant comin back baby
Baby
[Chorus]
She knows
I've been hitting
her on the phone
And I know
she's been gettin it
something's wrong
Could it be that she's
with the other dude
from her past
I know damn well that she aint
Sittin there laughin
with her girlfriends
Lookin at the number
talking bout it's him again
I know she better call pretty soon
Im gonna send the boys to find out
just why she's been M.I.A
