No Matter What I Do
Nelly · Other Songs - Nelly
Nelly, I love you, I do
Need you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
Boy, you know IÂ’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
You know IÂ’m crazy over you
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me
And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need to see
But oh, no, no, she got a man and a son, oh-oh, but thatÂ’s okay
‘Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my position
Like a shortstop, pick up eÂ’rything mami hittinÂ’
And in no time I better make this friend mine and thatÂ’s for sure
‘Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy home
But there’s something ‘bout baby girl,
I just can’t leave her ‘lone
So tell me, ma, whatÂ’s it gonna be
She said, “You don’t know what you mean to me,” come on
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
Boy, you know IÂ’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
You know IÂ’m crazy over you
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I see a lot in your look and I never say a word
I know how n****s start actinÂ’ trippinÂ’,
and hate up all the girls
And thereÂ’s no way Nelly go for it
AinÂ’t f***inÂ’ with no dame, as you could see
But I-I like your steeze, your style,
your whole demeanor
The way you come through and holler,
and swoop me in his two-seater
Now thatÂ’s gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya,
donÂ’t you forget it
But it ainÂ’t that easy for you to back up and leave him
But you and me we got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turned to leave
She said, “You don’t know what you mean to me,” come on
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
Boy, you know IÂ’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
You know IÂ’m crazy over you
Sing it for me, K
I love you and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
And itÂ’s more than youÂ’ll ever know
Boy, itÂ’s for sure
You can always count on my love
Forever more, yeah, yeah
East coast, I know youÂ’re shakinÂ’ right
Down south, I know youÂ’re bouncinÂ’ right
West coast, I know youÂ’re walkinÂ’ right
(‘Cause you don’t know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swinginÂ’ right
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
Boy, you know IÂ’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
You know IÂ’m crazy over you
East coast, I know youÂ’re shakinÂ’ right
Down south, I know youÂ’re bouncinÂ’ right
West coast, I know youÂ’re walkinÂ’ right
(You donÂ’t know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swinginÂ’ right
East coast, youÂ’re still shakinÂ’ right
Down south, I see you bouncinÂ’ right
West coast, I know youÂ’re walkinÂ’ right
(You donÂ’t know what you mean to me)
Midwest, youÂ’re still swinginÂ’ right
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
Boy, you know IÂ’m crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when IÂ’m with my Boo
You know IÂ’m crazy over you
Yeah, yeah
East coast, I know youÂ’re shakinÂ’ right
Down south, I know youÂ’re bouncinÂ’ right
West coast, I know youÂ’re walkinÂ’ right
(You donÂ’t know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swinginÂ’ right
East coast, youÂ’re still shakinÂ’ right
Down south, I see youÂ’re bouncinÂ’ right
West coast, I know youÂ’re walkinÂ’ right
(You donÂ’t know what you mean to me)
Midwest, youÂ’re still swinginÂ’ right
