Ohh, ohh
Ohhh
Girl, I remember how it all began
You introduced her as your friend
But I knew I was in trouble when
I saw her smile at me
And then she asked me for a dance
But never offered you a glance
Well let me tell you girl with friends like that
Who needs enemies
[Chorus:]
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Girl, you say your friend is just flirting by
It's getting so ridiculous
That she's thinking she can mess with us
But I don't play around
Even when she's saying that you're unaware
And it's cool with you to share
No I still ai't gonna dance with her
I'm telling you right now
[Chorus:]
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Don't try to say I lost the mind
I know your girl has crossed the line (cause I really know that)
She got issues, she trying to diss you
The minute that you turn around
She pulled a switch boo
Cause she's wishing what's yours was hers
So now leave the girl, that ain't never gonna work
[Chorus:]
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Should've known girl not to trust a friend
Should've known jealous of how we livin'
Should've known I was shading you
Only dance with you
[Chorus:]
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Who's jealous of the way we livin'
I don't think you know what's happening
Your girl is shading you
Should've known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But I'm 'bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....
Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....
