Girls out there (Mm mm mm)
Let me tell U a story
U got these men goin' around here
And all they wanna do is hit U in the socket
Like a thief in the night, he'll come 2 U
Pick U right off a lonely avenue
Telling U stories, telling U lies
Anything 2 cover up an alibi
Then your best friend will give U the bottom line
She said bein' his lover is just a waste of time
And she should know a little bit more than maybe
Cuz he left her with a baby
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Ain't that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don't U do it now
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here
Just like the serpent when he spoke unto Eve
He's the only one he wants U 2 believe (Oh yeah)
And every time Friday comes, his mood'll change
So he can have a reason 2 be with the boys again
Then your best friend'll give U the ever so shockin' news
About your beloved serpent, how U thought he belonged 2 U
Well, he's got another couple swingin' from the vine
And U're just home cryin'
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket) (He'll wanna)
Boo hoo
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Ain't that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don't U do it now
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here, huh
He'll tell U, "Baby, if U can't stand by me
I've got 2 drop U and chop U like a tree" (Drop U, oh yeah)
Don't waste your time, girl, dealin' with that
U oughta take the time 2 show him (what?) where the door is at (Hey)
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Ain't that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don't do it, don't do it
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
He wanna, he wanna hit U up in the socket
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Listen here now
Never bought U nothin' but heartaches and pain
When U ain't nothin' but another link in a chain
Take all your money, buy his alibi
He'll sell U off every time
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Don't U think he won't
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Ain't that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, mess between your sheets now
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
Can't do it, can't do it
(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
He'll... gonna steal U like the thief in the night
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
And ah... when he got want he want, he'll be clean out of sight
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, your best friend will tell U better than me
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
Don't think she won't, sugar
(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Just check your own backyard and U will see
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Every Friday, his mood'll change (I know that)
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Then Monday, he'll come back 4 some of your sweet thing
(But he can't put shoes on your feet)
Boo hoo
(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Boo hoo
(But he's got no money in his pocket)
Just look at yourself cryin'
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Look at that mess cryin', hah - boo hoo
(But he can't put shoes on your feet) {fade out}
Boo hoo
(He wanna, he wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
