I'm not looking (oh no, no)
I'm not looking
No, no, no, no…no, no, no, no baby
(I'm not looking either)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Don't wanna talk to you)
Sit down and let me talk to you
(Oh save it, save it, save it)
For a little while my sugar
(You've been talking for too long baby)
Yeah (Go ahead, go ahead)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mary:
Whatcha gotta say
Whatcha gonna say this time
How many lies are you gonna tell
K-Ci:
Oh, don't be afraid (oh) About what your 'bout to hear right now lady oh
Listen (What is it?)
I'm not trying to fall in love with you
I just wanna hit you with my groove
Yes I do, yes I do
What I'm trying to say I'm not trying to be mean
No, no, no, but baby can you respect my honesty
I'm trying to tell you I'm not looking
K-Ci's Chorus:
I'm not looking for no love affair
Won't nobody tell you that they seen me there
So I don't need you tripping, trying to take me there
I'm not looking for no love affair
I'm not looking for no love affair
Won't nobody tell you that they seen me there
So I don't need you tripping, trying to take me there
Mary...
Mary:
You think you got what it takes to please me
I'm not impressed by your honesty, oh no, no
I don't need you to tell me I like good, good, good
I don't need it, no
(I know you don't)
Cause I've been hearing that around my hood (ooh)
And I'm trying to tell you something
Mary's Chorus:
I'm not looking for no player shit
Not when everybody's trying to get with this
You see I don't need you here just to get a hit
I'm not looking for no player shit
Mary:
Where were you when everything was going down
I left my man and didn't have no one around
See I don't need it, I don't want it
You're not the nigga for it
You think that you can get it
No right now I'm not gon' let it
K-Ci:
Oh please stop fronting on that player shit
I heard around the town you were still down with it
(Oh nigga please)
If you think I don't know, sugar let me tell you so
(Oh really oh)
Let me in, let's begin, but I want to be friends
(Stop playing with me)
Mary:
I'm not looking for no player shit
Oh not when everybody's trying to get with me
(I'm not even trying baby)
All day and all night you fool, I don't need it
Don't need it
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
I swear tired of playing games
(My mind, mind, mind is all confused)
I don't wanna be down, go ahead, go ahead (go ahead, oh)
I don't wanna be down, I'm tired of playing games
Tired of chasing your egomaniac, egotistical, chest sticking out
Think you're God's gift to the world, oh
(That's not me, that's not me, that's not me)
Hate to do it to you like this
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I got to do it cause it's only right
To let you know I'm not lookin' for no arrogant, egotistical player shit
(I hear you)
Do you really hear me, then hear this
I'm sick and tired of chasing you
(I understand you baby)
Sick and tired of holding you
(I said I hear you)
Go ahead, go ahead
All my ladies stand up and clap
(I understand you)
If you feel me, if you feel me
(I'm so sorry baby)
Come with something better than that please
I know you're sorry
