Aaliyah

He only plays for you

He lets me watch the way he moves

And I can see it on his face

Desire burning like a furnace



Aaliyah, please don't take my man

Although you know that you can

I've never a met a boy so true

But there's this something that you do



Aaliyah, please

This is green envy

Why must you taunt me, girl? (4x)



Another poor excuse

Another (?) truth

And I'm so tired of pretending

I don't believe I'm in defending

All I want is this



Woman to woman, a promise

Give me your word that you will free him

No more games and your teasing



Aaliyah, please

This is green envy

Why must you taunt me, girl? (4x)



With every move you make

You know you've got him transfixed

But you can't get pass me, Aaliyah

I won't fall for your tricks

There's no stopping him

As the beat rolls on

I watch from afar

And watch you sing along (2x)



And watch you sing along



Why can't he play a song for me?
