Try to Do Me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me (But see baby)

I am not the one (I am not the one baby)You tried to do me (You tried to do me)

You tried to do me

You tried to do me

But I am not the oneWhy you want to live so foul?

You know sweatin', one for some, is not my style

I'm the type to wine and dine in the candlelight

'Cause just one night could be just so right

Your first riff, is that I'm never home

And you're sick and tired of being alone

But baby I got work to do

And ain't no-one gonna stop me from being Pu'

I buy you rings and things and all that good stuff

But you still beefin' that that is not enough

Let's sit down and discuss it

Baby bust it

You check my beeper when I'm still sleepin'

When I get out of cars you're out your window peepin'

I think the best thing for you and me

Is just to play like John Lennon and 'Let It Be'

You tried to do meYou tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me (But see baby)

I am not the one (I am not the one)You tried to do me (You tried to do me)

You tried to do me

You tried to do me

But I am not the oneAy bust it

I would sing the song called just be my lady

But you're the type of girl who likes to act real shady

And rain on the brain like a hurricane

Throw rhythm on a dame, 'cause I know the game

You see, I'm just a rapper and nothing's free so

"Why are you watchin' me?"

Well honey can I get some privacy?

You say cool, then you try to flip

But you forgot to put the Gucci bag upon your hip

You knew me, you blew me, others would pursue me

The question that I ask is why you, tryin' to do me?

Make like a ship and just float on (Float on)

I'm not the type of brother that you can just gig on

I know the time honey, there it is plain to see

You're tryin' to do meYou tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me (But see baby)

I am not the one (I am not the one)You tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me

But I am not the oneNow see baby, I don't know why you tryin' to flip and all of that

'Cause I'm out here tryin' to do my thing

And get these papes in today's society,

You know what I'm sayin'?

I'm tryin' to make things a little better

But if you want to make matters worse

Let me say this first

There's no need for you to try to do meYou tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me (But see baby)

I am not the one (I am not the one)You tried to do me

You tried to do me

You tried to do me

But I am not the oneAnd now check it, I'mma end it like this

Now good times come, honey good times go

I think this is somethin' that you really oughta know

The name of the game is to maintain

'Cause when you lose someone you love, then you feel pain

It's up to you to decide if the love was worth losin'

To me you're not the everyday, Tina, Tammy, Susan

Why can't you, understand?

Instead of tryin' to run the flim-flam on the grand

Baby, do whatever is clever

'Cause we can make this last, forever and ever

With joy there's pain

But don't you worry about the Puba Maxwell, 'cause I can stand the rain

Shoo-be-doo, this is what you oughta do

Think of all the things that I just told you

Remember all the times when I used to hold you and say

We can last through eternity

But don't ever try to do me
