Boy, you can't keep playin'

Are you checkin' for me
(Back 'n forth)
Oh, yeah

I can't go back and forth
Boy, you need to let me know
Cause you keep sendin' me mixed signals
You treat me like your girl
Till your friends come around
And then you're playin' me out
Need to make up your mind
Be careful boy
You will find me with somebody else
Don't let a good thing pass you by
So boy
