Oh ohhh
Oh

[Verse 1:]
Thou shall not run these streets
Thou shall not hit these clubs
Every night of the week looking for some groupie love
Thou shall respect your heart
Thou shall not play you hard
But I did
I was wrong and I'm hating it
[Hook:]
Cause now I'm calling ya cell phone
Over and over
My high is gone
But I don't wanna be sober
I'm feeling sick and I ain't got the flu
Girl I'm missing you
[Chorus:]
Girl I'm on my knees (knees)
I promise I'll be good (oooh)
And I will never do it again (do it again)
Girl I'm on my knees (knees)

All I need is one more chance (one more chance)
I was just playing with them girls
