(Darkchild '99)
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
Any other day, I would call, you would say (say)
Baby, how's your day?
But today, it ain't the same
Every other word is: Uh-huh, yeah, okay
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady?
If you took it there, first of all, let me say (let me say)
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me, if I'm the girl that you claim (claim)
Why don't you say the things that you said to me yesterday?
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name (say my name)
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby (yeah, hey, yeah)
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you ain't runnin' game (no, no)
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
What is up with this?
Tell the truth, who you with? (With)
How would you like it if I came over with my clique?
Don't try to change it now, saying you gotta bounce (bounce)
When two seconds ago said you just got in the house (the house)
It's hard to believe that you are at home by yourself
When I just heard the voice, heard the voice of someone else
Just this question: Why do you feel you gotta lie? (Feel, lie)
Gettin' caught up in your game, when you cannot say my name
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name (say my name)
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you (if it doesn't change)
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name (baby, say my name)
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby (ooh, oh)
Better say my name
(Where my ladies at?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (can you say that? Come on)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (all the girls say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I can't)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (all the girls say)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (break it down)
Ooh, ooh, oh
(Uh, uh-uh, D-C, take it to the bridge, come on)
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name (say my name)
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say: Baby, I love you
If you ain't runnin' games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
