Seven Days
Mary J. Blige · Tour
But never looked before my eyes
There you were to my surprise
It was so obvious looking into your face
After playing a game of truth or dare
I wanted to stay at your place
I never thought that I
Would fall in love with you
But since the day we kissed
I knew it had to be you
I never thought that we would be together
I can't believe I just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do
Chorus:
Monday, a friend of mine
Tuesday, we played a game
Wednesday, you went away
Thursday, things weren't the same
On Friday, you came back
I wanted to kiss you on Saturday
But Sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do
(Listen, Listen)
Dont claim yo ass is ready...(remix!!)
When you're not,
Cause if you play me, Ill...
I'll blow up your spot.
And I dont care where you are (uh huh)
Or what you say (uh huh)
Or what you do...
And I dont care who youre wit,
It could be yo bitch or even your... crew...
I never thought that I...
Would have to step to you....
Didnt wanna do this,
But this conversation is due!
Now, if you try to front wit me,
I'll do some shit to you..
I can't believe I just made love to you
After all the things that we've been through
Now what are we gonna do
Chorus
On Thursday things weren't the same
On Friday you came back
I wanted to kiss you
Sunday we made love
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
Monday
Things weren't the same
On Sunday we made sweet, sweet love
Tuesday we played a game
But Sunday we made love
Now what are we gonna do?
Chorus
