(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

So so lonely

(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

I'm riding home in pain again baby

But that don't mean shit to you

You're currently engaged in an intimate conversation

With a young groupie or two

They say: Players only love you when they're playing games

Still I gave my heart to you

I should have stayed away

Like my friends all told me to

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

So so lonely

(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

Why can't I find my one and only?

See I'm looking for a man that'll rub me slow

Make me sing real high

When he goes down low

But see it ain't just a physical thing

He's gotta treat me affectionately

And I gotta know he won't betray my trust

Just like every other motherfucker does

Is this just an impossible dream baby

To elusive to pursue

It's been such a sad and windy road for me

Just searchin' for the truth

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

So so lonely

(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

Why can't I find my one and only?

Now you know roll a beemer and a benz

When I'm dishin out ends

Why you trppin on a player baller

Havin good conversation while we rollin on 2-4's

And I know you got doubts

But why you listenin to what people talkin bout

You ain figured out why they call ya

The hefas steady hatin cause you rollin on 2-4's

See how yo money flo

You dressed in designer clothes from head to ya toe

You ain't satisfied well tell me what you lookin for

(I'm lookin for my one and only)

Well I'll be yo one and only if you give me a chance

I'll make a change for you girl

I know I ain been the mos faithful nigga in the world

But lets stay togetha so we can shine like pearls

Spit it to her while I fill her got her hot like fire

To kiss yo lips I desire

Twis and Mariah togetha like them grips on ya tires

(I'm lookin for my one and only)

Well come here shawty well let me make it better

We can do whateva while we sittin on sued and leather

Flickin through the city while we ridin on chrome

Lets kick it in the Chi

I know I messed up wit you and I ain't gonna lie

I know you was feelin' you really know yo guy

But baby girl I ain't mean to blow yo high

Let me pick the pieces up and but um back togetha

Cause I wanna be wit you don't wanna leave you lonely

Ride wit you like a hommie neva no fony

Shawty can I be yo one an only

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

So so lonely

(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

Why can't I find my one and only?

(Still lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

So so lonely

(I'm lookin' for my one and only)

Every time I turn around

I find my heart in pieces on the ground

Why can't I find my one and only?
