I woke up this morning
My man, he wasn't sleeping
walked over to his boy house
I told him give me one reason
why he ain't been home since
I told him it don't make no sense
that I got to try and find him
Now he's got his boy lying
Chorus:
They say he be back
They say he gone to the store
He probably out drivin my car
goin to pick up all his whores
And I got one thing to say
Why you tryin to flake on me
'cause I used to have you tamed
Now you act like you're untrained
You say you're goin to a party
I see you got the stripper
You stand there lookin silly
the third time you'd have f***ed her
Now you say that you're back on track
Like I'm supposed to believe that
that you are now confiding
Now you got your boy lying
Chorus
I don't know what it is about you
That always make me doubt you
It's those bad friends around you
Telling you what you should not do
(Repeat)
Chorus
Missy:
Why I gotta call yo boy crib
Why I gotta ask what y'all done did
Why I gotta sweat ya like a wack groupie
See when I was a star you was claimin me
Maybe 'cause my records ain't sellin no more
And I ain't that fly that used to headline tours
But, I'ma be for sure just even out the
scores don't call Missy when yo a$$ go poor
Check, check, check me one time
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmmm, mmm
(Repeat until music stops)
Missy:
You know what they say (4x)
They say they be back
They say he gone to the store
He probably out drivin my car
goin to pick up all his whores
And I got one thing to say
Why you tryin to flake on me
I used to have you tamed
