Uh, uh huh
Gangster
[Verso 1]
I though it was love
Didn't wanna admit that
When I looked back
It was lust
Too bad I had to learn a lesson
They were against me
You were with me
But you never let your old thang go
I don't care to know why
Girl I guess some things
Can't be explained
[Refrão]
It is what it is (what it is)
I don't know what to call it
'Cause I'm feelin' something else (I'm feeling something else)
It is what it is (what it is)
Just don't let yourself get caught up (uh huh)
When it's really something else
[Verso 2]
Know that is okay
Felt something going on
For every time that I fought it (uh)
Girl I bet that's what it was
Called myself being down for you (ice cold)
Just know that
Even if I already knew you
I already knew how you get down (uh)
But if that's your thang, babe
I ain't mad at you
It's cool
Just know I did it too
[Refrão]
It is what it is
I don't know what to call it (don't know what to call it)
'Cause I'm feelin' something else (I'm feeling something else)
It is what it is (what it is)
Just don't let yourself get caught up (aww girl)
When it's really something else
Take it to the bridge
[ponte]
I'm not saying that two wrongs can make it right
It ain't too late for us to try (yeah)
Do we put back together
Or we say goodbye? (ha)
[Usher Falando]
Give me another chance
You did it to shit
It's all good, baby
You eating, right?
Well how can I smile, shit?
It's better to smile than to frown anyday
Yeah listen
[Refrão]
It is what it is
I don't know what to call it (don't know what to call it)
'Cause I'm feelin' something else (Girl I'm feeling something else)
It is what it is (what it is)
Just don't let yourself get caught up (get caught up)
When it's really something else (if you want to get to be with me baby)
It is what it is (what it is)
I don't know what to call it (call it)
'Cause I'm feelin' something else (uh, uh yeah yeah come on)
It is what it is (what it is)
Just don't let yourself get caught up (caught up, and I)
When it's really something else (oh my)
To the bridge
[ponte]
I'm not saying that two wrongs can make it right
But it ain't too late for us to try (baby)
Do we put back together
Or we say goodbye?
[Refrão][Repete até o final]
It is what it is (what is)
I don't know what to call it (don't know what to call it uhhh uhh)
'Cause I'm feelin' something else (gonna give my love)
