Alright then

Verse 1:

I'm gettin tired of your shit

you don't never buy me nothin

And every time you come around

you got to bring Jim, James, Paul and Tyrone

Now why can't we be by ourselves sometimes

see I've been having this on my mind for a long time

I just want it to be you and me like it used to be, baby

but you don't know how to act, so matter fact

Chorus:

I think you better call Tyrone (call him)

And tell him come on, help you get your shit

You need to call Tyrone (call him)

And tell him I said come on

Verse 2:

Now every time I ask you for a little cash

you say no but turn right around and ask me for some ass

oh well hold up listen partna I ain't no cheap thrill

cuz Miss Badu's always comin for real, you know the deal nigga

Everytime we go somewhere

i gosta reach down in my purse

to pay your way and your homeboys way

and sometimes your cousin's way

When we all went out to eat

you made me ride in the backseat

now that ain't right child

I said that ain't right child no

Chorus:

So I think you better call Tyrone (call him)

and tell him come on, help you get your shit

you need to call Tyrone (call him)

but you can't use my phone

Hook:

Oh take my pills pay my bills

I'm here to let you know that what I feel is real

day to day life with you is no thrill

it's getting late no time to wait

get go on so I can meditate

hummm...hummm ha

Light my cone sing my song

I don't give a damn if I'm right or wrong

toodle loo toodle loo

dadiada da da da

Doodle day or night wrong or right

tell your boys to find another place to watch the fight

don't make me go get big Mike

Oh so tell your boys at the liquor store

that your gonna need a place to go

I don't care butchu gots to leave

you can tell 'em you broke up with me

I wanted you to massage my toes

but you'd rather play dominoes

so baby get up off your knees and hands

and go and tell it to the preacher man ha

Chorus:

But first I think ya need to call Tyrone (call him)

and tell him come on help you get your shit

you need to call Tyrone (call him)

hold on

but ya can't use my phone
