Performed by highland place mobsters



I know that he's your nigger

And girl the way I figure

You've been doggin' me now baby

It's all in your game of love

You know that I am a lover

And I'll go and find me another

If you want another now baby

Then I'll just get the hell out



I, i, I gotta find a ho of my own

I, i, I gotta find a ho of my own



Well girl if you're committed

I'm down and I'll be with it

Just remember one thing baby

That I ain't attached to love

Don't give me mixed emotions

Cause I know where you've been going

Round, and round, and round you go baby

Either you're ready or...



Hook



Why can't you see girl that i

I won't ever be denied, I refuse to be

I must be your number one, I won't share with anybody

You won't mean nothing to me

If you're not there to be my baby

Only my baby

Cause I'll just get the hell out



Hook



I've been waiting for a woman like you for a very long time now

But it's okay, I understand

Let's go back to my place

I can explain it a little bit better there

Check this out...

Ho Of My Own

Babyface's 'Ho Of My Own' stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, R&B-infused pop sensibility, blending melodic hooks with a laid-back groove that defined the mid-1990s sound. As a lead vocalist and songwriter, Babyface crafted this track to showcase his signature ability to write songs that are both personally reflective and universally relatable. The recording captures the era's polished production style, characterized by crisp synths and a rhythmic pocket that invites a steady, head-nodding dance. While often associated with his work on albums like 'The Day', this song highlights his versatility as a performer who could deliver a charismatic vocal performance alongside his songwriting prowess. It remains a staple in his discography, illustrating the enduring appeal of his ability to fuse soulful emotion with contemporary pop structures.
