(r kelly)
Here is a story,
about a man.. coming in,
and found his woman in bed with..
well.. listen.
(ron isely)
Its 2am just gettin' in about to check my message
No one has called but my homies and some bill collecters
Say your love brings somebody wants to borrow money
I two way her-she don't hit me back something is funny
So I called her mother's house and asked her had she seen my baby (Oh I)
Rolled my 6 around lookin' for that missin' lady
Got back in turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head cuz im so confused
and then i turned the TV down (TV down) cuz I thought i heard a squeaky sound
Mm something's goin on upstairs (yeah) cuz I know nobody else lives here
As I get closer 2 da stairways all i hear
~n~ then i hear my baby's voice
in my ear sreamin' out
(CHORUS)
your contagious
touch me baby
give me what you got
(then a man says)
sexy lady
drive me crazy
drive me wild
~n~ i can't believe this shit
I ran downstairs looked in the closet lookin for the whooo
Said a prayer only god knows what im gonna dooo
What I saw was enough to drive a preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplating not in my own damn house
Who woulda thought she was creepin' with another man
The downlow had happened to me all over again
And then I turned the TV down, (TV down) cuz I know I heard a squeaky sound
Somethings goin on there upstairs cuz i know it no one else lives here
*Bum*Bum*Bum*
As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screamin' out
(Chorus)
