First of all let me say that you've been real cool
I've enjoyed spending my time with you
Sometimes when you ain't around, I miss you
And that ain't regular with me

But sometimes you be acting like the last dude
Every time that you come over you only pass through
Got a couple questions I wanna ask you
So could you be upfront with me?

Why is it that I can never come over to your house?
He gotta girlfriend
And why is it that I can never leave a message on your phone?
He gotta girlfriend

If you gotta girlfriend, say you gotta girlfriend
Don't play with my feelings you can keep it real man
All you had to do
Was let me know from the beginning that you had a girl

Why can't I ever catch you at night?
Cell phone be cut off after 9
Tyra said these are the tell, tell signs
To let you know that he's there with his girl

How come whenever we go on a date
You never got time to finish your plate
If you think you foolin' me, you ain't
I just wanna see what you was goin' say

Why is it that I can never come over to your house?
He gotta girlfriend
And why is it that I can never leave a message on your phone?
He gotta girlfriend

If you gotta girlfriend, say you gotta girlfriend
Don't play with my feelings you can keep it real man
All you had to do
Was let me know from the beginning that you had a girl

I'm not the type
To be all lovey dovey fallin' in love with somebody's man
Be right
Because the same ol' thing can happen to me one day

So if you
If you gotta girl I'm sorry I just can't kick it with you
You know you
You know you is dead wrong

You need to go to your baby girl
'Cause you won't get nowhere foolin' 'round with me
Messin' around on your baby girl
Because your never ever talking to me

You need to go to your baby girl
'Cause you won't get nowhere foolin' 'round with me
Messin' around on your baby girl
Because your never ever talking to me

Why is it that I can never come over to your house?
He gotta girlfriend
And why is it that I can never leave a message on your phone?
He gotta girlfriend

If you gotta girlfriend, say you gotta girlfriend
Don't play with my feelings you can keep it real man
All you had to do
Was let me know from the beginning that you had a girl

You could have told me
What was you thinking?
Oh, what you thought I was a bum
Oh, you thought I was dumb, come on, nah
You know what, you lie so much
I bet yo name ain't even Shawn

Why is it that I can never come over to your house?
He gotta girlfriend
And why is it that I can never leave a message on your phone?
