Ain't No Way
Solange · Solo Star
Calling me constantly
Talkin' about you and me
Even so you never told me
That I was the only one
So I did my thang
B-Sect
See me hanging with my girlies
Holla at the fellas maybe
But you can't be mad at me
Chorus
(So there) ain't no need to trip, no
Cause I ain't ever been your girlfriend
Don't be all up on me
Baby, no way
Gonna do my own thang
Putting that on everything
Don't play me like your girlfriend
Baby, no way
Did you think I would've waited around
That's not I get down
Someone should've told you
Even though you haven't been around
Someone has made me smile
And it feels so good
B-Sect
Chorus
Don't you act like you know me
Don't you try to control me
Baby there ain't no way I'm going for that
If you can chill, you can call me
But for now stay up off me
Baby there ain't no way I'm going for that
Chorus out
Ain't No Way
