When u trust someone

And u know you're on their back

You ain't got no trustin' about you

And you claim that you don't care what where I'm at

You've given me reason to doubt you

Say u trust someone

Why are you callin' all around

Think I've got some dip on the side

Girl you don't trust no one

And you're constantly in doubt

You lose the game

If you play that way



Get up off my back

Save your heart attack

Ain't nobody humpin' around

No matter what they say

No it ain't that way

Ain't nobody humpin' around



When u love someone

And you want to love 'em right

Got to get more lovin' about 'cha

And you know that you're holding on too tight

Soon they will be leaving without you

Say that u love someone

Why are you callin' all my friends

Thinkin' I've got somethin' to hide

Girl you don't love no one

You don't know what love's about

You lose the game

If you play that way



Hook 2 times



Girl if u trust someone

You don't call on everybody

Ain't nobody foolin' around

And the more I think about it

You'll lose all your clout and

You lose the game, baby

If you play that way



Back to the bb brown

Back to the bb brown

Back to the bb brown



When u love someone

And you want to love 'em right

Got to get more lovin' about 'cha

And you know that you're holding on too tight

Soon they will be leaving without you

Say that u love someone

Why are you callin' all my friends

Thinkin' I've got somethin' to hide

Girl you don't love no one

You don't know what love's about

You lose the game

If you play that way

Stop!



Rap:

My name is brown, that's what I'm called so

Don't try to step to me wrong or you'll fall slow

'cause I just wanna kick soul to ya, maybe baby take control of ya

Just like I told ya, I wanna roll

On the tip that's movin', able to make ya move and groove

And leave ya like ooh when I touch ya

Give you so much of the feeling of the deck that I'm dealing

When I rub ya up and down

Yo stylz, kick it!



Rap:

Well, I know it's been awhile

Since you heard a change in our style

So what I've come to do is kick you something fly and new

A change, different from the typical

A bit more than regular but not like the other's original

'cause originality and creativity

Add it up together equals the b.b.b. posse

Yeah, we're in the house

Yo kick it!



Hook



Girl you said you love me

And you said you trust me

Why do you think I'm foolin' around

I can't stand the pressure

You know I'm yours forever

Ain't nobody, nobody, humpin' around



Hook 2 times

The song reflects the era's emphasis on sophisticated songwriting and melodic sensibility, cementing Babyface's reputation as a master of the ballad and mid-tempo groove.
