Check this out, girl
I know you sitting back saying to yourself
“I know he ain’t tryna holla,” nah
But it’s something I gotta tell ya
Aw yeah, aw yeah, and it got to do with love
And I just want you to sit back and listen
While I sing this song to you
Check me, listen, huh

It’s like the hardest thing for me to say
Without cracking a smile
It’s something that we both really feel inside
But never talked about
They call it love, oh yes, they do
A dangerous thing when you’re part of the games
So, girl, I feel you when you get emotional and don’t wanna let me go
Ha, but it’s something I gotta tell ya

Don’t mean to cut you off but the question is
So when you gon’ be my girl? When you gon’ be my girl?
I wanna know when it comes to loving why you change the subject
You should know, girl, you know that I’m the man you want, oh yes I am
Girl, what’s really good with ya?
So when you gon’ be my girl? When you gon’ be my girl?
All this playing ’round is getting old now
So baby, tell me where I stand

I know, you prolly saying to yourself, “This brother tripping”
But this stuff is real
But ain’t too many fellas would have the nerve to step up
And tell that lady what’s up to let her know he’s really pressed
Now getting straight to the bottom line
You’re the type of kinda girl a gangsta needs by his side
So when you get emotional, I won’t let you go
(When you cry, I won’t let you go)
It’s something I gotta tell you

Don’t mean to cut you off but the question is
So when you gon’ be my girl? When you gon’ be my girl, girl?
I wanna know when it comes to loving why you change the subject
You should know, girl, you know that I’m the man you want, oh yes I am
So girl, what’s really good with ya?
So when you gon’ be my girl?
All this playing ’round is getting old now
So baby, where do I stand? Tell me, girl
I don’t mean to be rude but I gotta know
So when you gon’ be my girl? When you gon’ be my girl?
I wanna know when it comes to loving why you change the subject
You should know, girl, you know that I’m the man you want, I am the man you need
So girl, what’s really good with ya?
So when you gon’ be my girl?
All this playing ’round is getting old now
So baby, tell me where I stand
