Everybody listen all over the world
I got a story 'bout my favorite girl (Wait a minute)
Oh, my baby sexy for sure
I had to have him when he walked through the door (Wait a minute)
She was 'bout to drive me insane
She come with drama while I'm giving her chains (Wait a minute)
I'm focused but I'm losing control
He only wants me for my body zone (Wait a minute)
Girl, why you do me like that?
You take all my money
Can't even call a player back (Wait a minute)
Boy, why you tripping like that?
You think 'cause you tricking you get it just like that? (Wait a minute)
Minding my business, I was doing my thing
Got my attention, so I gave him a chance (Wait a minute)
Did I mention he was buying a bar?
Gave him my number, he was trying so hard (Wait a minute)
Bought me some things I didn't want, didn't need
Dropped down his jeans like I'm supposed to drop to my knees (Wait a minute)
He been blowing up my phone like he know me
Been leaving messages "You know what you owe me" (Wait a minute)
Girl, why you do me like that?
You take all my money
Can't even call a player back (Wait a minute)
Boy, why you tripping like that?
You think 'cause you tricking you get it just like that? (Wait a minute)
Girl, why you do me like that?
You take all my money
Can't even call a player back (Wait a minute)
Boy, why you tripping like that?
You think 'cause you tricking you get it just like that? (Wait a minute)
What is your problem daddy?
Slow your roll
Who you think you jiving?
You're disturbing my flow (Wait a minute)
Why you be bugging?
Like I'm some kind of hoe
Got no more questions and I want you to go
So break (Break)
Hey, let me talk to you for a minute
Shut up...shut up
I love the way you strut
Girl, you already know
But, I'm feeling like you don't want me
You just after my dough
Baby, please, I'm fine
I'm not one of these hoes
Chasing dreams not diamond rings
So don't call me no more
(Wait a minute)
Girl, why you do me like that?
You take all my money
Can't even call a player back (Wait a minute)
Boy, why you tripping like that?
You think 'cause you tricking you get it just like that? (Wait a minute)
Girl, why you do me like that?
You take all my money
Can't even call a player back (Wait a minute)
Boy, why you tripping like that?
You think 'cause you tricking you get it just like that? (Wait a minute)
See, I don't want your money
Yeah, I seen you rolling up here
In your cadillac
But, I don't need all that
It is a nice color though
(Wait a minute)
What they call you, Mr. Tin man or something?
See, I don't want your cars
I don't want your jewelry
You can't buy this
So you can keep that
Wait a minute...
Uh yeah, you can give that back
