I played around and I played the field
I was one mad dog, girl, you know for real
And I didn't give a damn just who I hurt
Spent all my time just chasing skirt

Now I've met a girl like you
Tell me, what's this man supposed to do?
It feels like love I must confess
'Cause it rips my heart right from my chest
Every time she says

I know what you wanna
You just wanna run your game
All the girls them dub me shady
I just want you to be my baby

I know what you wanna
You just wanna tell your crew
Now at last it's love I find
But she can't leave my past behind

I can tell right from the look in your eyes
You been hearing some stories and they're not all lies
But whether they're lies or whether they're true
I'd never run no game on you, no

I know what you wanna
You just wanna run your game
All the girls them dub me shady
I just want you to be my baby

I know what you wanna
You just wanna tell your crew
Now at last it's love I find
But she can't leave my past behind

Words are cheap and words are hollow
And once you cheat, nobody's gonna swallow
That you turned your life around
And in the end she's gonna listen to her friends

Just to hunt you down has taken a week
But you won't take my calls, you won't even speak to me
All that scheming is in the past
Please believe that's all I ask

I know what you wanna
You just wanna run your game
All the girls them dub me shady
I just want you to be my baby

I know what you wanna
You just wanna tell your crew
Now at last it's love I find
But she can't leave my past behind
