Jon B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The games I used to play
The girls that didn't last
I know what's on your mind
You think I'm doing wrong
Can I say what is real
You are the only one
When I'm not around
Do you think of me or what the jealous ones
Are claiming me to be
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Girl lets talk about what your friends told you
That I'm a selfish man
Want my cake and eat it to
Maybe in my past but you changed me now
Now that I've learned to love
It's you that showed me how
Your love so real
I'd be a fool to play
Play around on you I want to stay with you
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
You're my angel
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me (I don't wanna hurt you baby)
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say

Heard about my past things I used to do
You have heard about my past and the activities I previously engaged in
The games I used to play
The manipulative behaviors I used to exhibit
The girls that didn't last
The previous failed relationships I had
I know what's on your mind
I am aware of the doubts you have about me
You think I'm doing wrong
You believe that I am acting inappropriately
Can I say what is real
May I express the truth as it is
You are the only one
You are my significant other
When I'm not around
During the times when I am absent
Do you think of me or what the jealous ones
Do you think of me, or do you give credence to the rumors that envious people spread
Are claiming me to be
Are alleging that I am someone I am not
You should know by now
You ought to comprehend at this point
That it's gonna take
It will demand
A lot of trust from you
A significant amount of confidence from you
For us to make it through
To enable us to endure
You should know baby you're my angel
You should grasp that darling, you are my blessed messenger
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Nothing will cause you to lose your angelic status
Girl I just want to love you love you
Baby, I only wish to love you
Don't listen to what people say
Do not hearken to the words of others
They don't know about you and me
They are unaware of our relationship
Put it out your mind cause it's jealousy
Forget about it because it is fueled by envy
They don't know about this here
They do not know about what we have
Girl lets talk about what your friends told you
Honey, let's discuss what your friends told you
That I'm a selfish man
That I am a self-centered person
Want my cake and eat it to
I desire to have my cake and eat it too
Maybe in my past but you changed me now
Possibly, my past reflects my tendencies, but you have transformed me now
Now that I've learned to love
Presently that I have learned to love
It's you that showed me how
It is you who demonstrated to me how to love
Your love so real
The love you have for me is authentic
I'd be a fool to play
I would be foolish to indulge in playful behavior
Play around on you I want to stay with you
Cheating on you is not what I intend; I wish to remain with you
You're my angel
You are my heavenly being
I don't wanna hurt you baby
I do not want to cause you pain, darling

Jon B is the only white man that sang R&B that married a black woman and didn’t just suck from the black community. He gave so much love back to us ❤
