 Girl
 
 The only thing that matters in my life
 
 Is that I'm down for you and treat you right
 
 You've got no cause to treat me cold as ice
 
 Oh girl
 
 As long as I'll be givin' my love to you
 
 You should be givin' me your love too
 
 But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
 
 You know it ain't cool
 
 
 
 Don't be cruel
 
 'cause I would never be that cruel to you
 
 Oh no, no, no, oh no
 
 Don't be cruel
 
 Girl you need to change your attitude
 
 Oh no, no, oh
 
 Don't be cruel
 
 
 
 Rap:
 
 Hey, yo cutie
 
 What's up with this attitude
 
 I thought I was bein' real good to you
 
 I treat you sweet
 
 I take you out at night
 
 But you never say thanks
 
 Girl, that ain't right
 
 I bought you diamonds
 
 Even gave you pearls
 
 I took you for a cruise all around the world
 
 I treat you high post
 
 But you play me close
 
 And if I want to drink up
 
 You won't even toast
 
 
 
 Girl I work so hard for you from nine to five
 
 So you could have the finer things in life
 
 Since you're the kind that's never satisfied
 
 Oh girl
 
 As long as I'll be givin' my heart to you
 
 You should be givin' me your heart too
 
 But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
 
 You know it ain't cool
 
 
 
 Hook
 
 
 
 Rap:
 
 From fancy cars to diamond rings
 
 I've just about given you everything
 
 There's really not much I won't do for you
 
 I bought you twelve yellow roses
 
 And candy, too
 
 I like to be up front
 
 And never play the back
 
 But the way you treat me girl
 
 It's like a heart attack
 
 I'm a real troop trooper
 
 And with all the times
 
 I'm wit'cha by my side
 
 Diggin' dollars outta crock
 
 
 
 Oh girl
 
 As long as I'll be givin' my love to you
 
 You should be givin' me your love too
 
 But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
 
 You know it ain't cool
 
 It just ain't cool
 
 Don't be cruel
 
 
 
 Rap:
 
 We used to hang out tough
 
 Just kickin' around
 
 We discovered a love
 
 That had never been found
 
 You gave me your heart
 
 I gave you my mind
 
 But a true love affair we could never find
 
 Although I want you bad
 
 I could let you go
 
 'cause there's a lot of girls out there
 
 That won't say no
 
 No to the fact
 
 That I want you jackie
 
 I want you more than human eyes can see
 
 But you had to start illin'
 
 Try to make a killin'
 
 Thought about the dollars I make
 
 And you were willin'
 
 To be with me, bobby b.
 
 But with a bad attitude I can't compete
 
 Now you know my name
 
 Now I know the game
 
 You wanna be with me
 
 You gotta be the same
 
 Way that another girl would be
 
 And if you wanna be with me
 
 
 
 Hook 2 times
