Just Another Girl

Monica · All Eyez on Me [import]

You think you're slick in everyway
Changing up the codes on your phone every day
Is there something that you're trying to hide from me?
I never gave you reason to
Wanna take your calls in the other room
Am I the only one, or is somebody else getting at you?

1 - Is it my imagination
Things ain't always what they seem
Cause I don't wanna be...

2 - Just another name in your little black book
Just another face in the crowd
And it's got me shook
I gotta mean a little more to you
Than a space on your list of your things to do
Another cheap shotgun in your Benz
Another dumb bitch that you can show your friends
You can call me crazy say I'm insecure
But I don't wanna be just another girl

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, mmm
Strange, how you claim to tell the truth
When the passenger seat in your car's been moved
And you swore that there was no one else with you
And something else you can't explain
Why'd you call me by somebody else's name?
You say it's history
Your playin' days are through, or so you say

Repeat 1

Tell me why ya lying?
Or is it my suspicious mind
I gotta know the truth
If I am just another girl
You're treating wrong
Another one you string along
Is it you and me? Is it two or three?
Cause I don't wanna be... no, no, no, no

Repeat 2 till end

The song explores themes of fleeting romance and self-worth, delivered with a confident vocal performance that solidified her status as a leading voice in contemporary R&B during the early 2000s.
