Can't Be Messing Around Lyrics


Uh uh yeah
Craig david
It's another one
Gonna make ya make ya dance to this
Gonna make ya make ya dance to this
This is how we do it one time
Into the year 2 0 straight from 9 9One day minding my own business
Girl from the back won't keep her distance
She was all over me
Just won't let it be
So I said to her I got a girl at home
This is so hard for me, but you got to leave me alone
She said she didn't want to listen to me
Knew what exactly she wanted to be
My baby
I must admit that she was getting to me
Waiting for me
Wanting me to hold her oh so tightlyTogether, forever, wherever, whatever

She said she couldn't find nobody better
Wasn't gonna give up on me never
She saidOoh you're looking so fly
Every time you pass me by
I like the way you move your body
Girl I must admit
You're looking real fit
Let's chill for a little bit
I know you wanna get with me
Girl you know I'm not free1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again
Won't pretend
Can't be messing 'round with my girlfriend1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again
Won't pretend
Can't be messing 'round with my girlfriendIt seems like every day girl you wanna be calling me
And when I step outside you always follow me
You said that you were really feeling Sisqo's song
About the thong th-thong thong thong that I wanna see
And when you talk like that you know you're really tempting me
But I got a girl at home who'll do the same for me
And that's the way it's gotta be, gotta be
So listen now ladyOoh I like your profile
The way you talk and your smile
But you gotta understand lady
I'm not cheating on my baby
Ooh you know this ain't right
I'm going home to my girl tonight
And I'm sorry that we couldn't get it on
But the love for my girl's too strong1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again
Won't pretend
Can't be messing 'round with my girlfriend1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again
Won't pretend
Can't be messing 'round with my girlfriendGirlfriend this love we got be golden
And you know you got me open
Since the day we started talking
You and I've had this special little something
When I wake up in the morning
Girl it would be you I be calling
Since I met you my phone bill be doubling
But girlfriend you know that money ain't a thing
With who me?
The one and only C-R-A-I-G come on
Now let me deliver this properly
So the world can see that I
Ain't the type of guy
And why should I, make my girlfriend cry
Can't deny the girl I met was real fly
But it's you that puts me on a natural high
So I, just walked on by
Saying my oh my
I ain't gon' let no other girl start troublin'
Lose someone like you, you must be joking1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again

Can't be messing 'round with my girlfriend1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Come on let me hit it again
Come on let me sing it again

R&B sensation Craig David was barely out of his teens when he took a hold of the U.K. pop circuit, twisted it around, and threw it back on its head during fall 2000. This fresh-faced native of Southampton, England, was merely playing into his love of funkadelic hip-hop and crooning urban stylings when he started writing songs as a teenager. His love for Terence Trent D'Arby, Sisqo, and Donnell Jones allowed him to put his creative love for art, culture, and history into a musical beat all his own. And the new millennium belonged to him and garage had been redefined.

Born Craig Ashley David on May 5, 1981, David was slicing and dicing ragga and R&B on the local station PCRS 106.5FM and found himself playing club gigs prior to rubbing elbows with some of music's finest. It was during this time he hooked with Artful Dodger's Mark Hill. After winning a national writing competition, Craig was more than ready to start producing with Hill. His big break came when he put his own additives on Damage's "I'm Ready," a B-side to "Wonderful Tonight." Soon thereafter he remixed his own version of Human League's "Human" and started himself a regular spot in area clubs during the weekends. "Rewind" was another underground smash, specifically a definitive move for David. His respect for Stevie Wonder, Faith Evans, and R. Kelly was most apparent, however his own vocal talent was beginning to shine. He and Hill's specialty show on Capital Radio provided another outlet for David to shape his musical work of genius. "Fill Me In" proved yet another hit, shooting straight to number one in summer 2000. David was now the youngest British male solo artist to have a number one single. He was 19-years-old.

A deal with Wildstar Records in the U.K. sparked toward the end of the summer as "Re-Rewind" and "7 Days" gained praise in late November. A stateside agreement with Atlantic also led to more global hype. He had sold 3.5 million records worldwide and garage was finally becoming massive overseas and it was David's debut Born to Do It that was at the head.

But not all were pulling for this R&B prodigy. Aside from winning three awards at the MOBO's in October, Craig David walked away empty handed at the 2000 Brit Awards in February 2001. He was up for six nominations, including Best British Male Solo Artist, Best British Newcomer, and Best British Single for "7 Days," but industry politics fell into operation. Many mainstream stars came to David's defense, artists such as Elton John, U2, and Robbie Williams, professing their disgust for the ill recognition for David and his musical efforts in the past year. Death threats soon followed for the superstar in spring 2001 as he took the stage in a show in London. An anonymous caller claimed a soldier would injure David with tear gas and hand grenades. Still, his record sales continued to soar in the U.K. with sales of Born to Do It increasing over 100 percent after his dismal beginning months of 2001. He bombared American Shores with a deal with Atlantic and released Born to Do It stateside in summer 2001. Mainstream radio flocked to him immediately. Missy Elliott, Beyoncé Knowles, and Usher called themselves fans.

The next year, things didn't simmer down for the now international pop star. Craig David returned with a sophomore effort Slicker Than Your Average in November 2002. This particular album saw a much grittier side from David. Debut single "What's Your Flava?" also became one of the year's hottest singles.

In 2005 he released his 3rd album "The Story Goes...", the first single of the album, "All The Way", returned him to the top three, and the second single, "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)", tied with "7 Days" as his longest running single in the charts since "Rewind", spending 15 weeks inside the UK top 75. However, the album's third single, "Unbelievable", debuted and peaked at #18 in March 2006.

In 2007, he collaborated with UK rapper Kano on his upcoming album London Town, for the single "This is the Girl". The track was released on August 27, 2007 and debuted at #18 on the UK charts.

The first single "Hot Stuff" from the album Trust Me, was released on November 5, 2007 . The single was a top ten hit, whilst the album charted at #18 on the UK Albums Chart.

"6 of 1 Thing", the second single to be taken from Trust Me charted at thirty-nine on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his second lowest charting single to date.

His UK tour will start in June 2008, details of which can be found on the official website.
