He Ain't Gotta Know
Bow Wow & Omarion Lyrics

Greatness plus greatness equals great greatness
Two talented and successful people together make something even better.

Uh see I know you got a man Ma
I know you have a boyfriend.

But understand he can't do you like I can Ma (Nope)
Your boyfriend cannot treat you like I can, I am better in bed.

And all I'm saying is just give the boy a chance Ma
Just let me have a chance to prove myself.

To lay ya down, I have ya screaming like a fan Ma
I can make you feel so good that you will scream like a fan.

And yeah the plan is not to treat you like a hoe (Hoe)
I don't want to treat you badly.

But ya man ain't gotta know (Know)
We can keep it a secret from your boyfriend.

Cause when it's summer time I can take you to where it snow (Ohh)
I can take you to amazing places and we can have fun in the snow.

And when it's winter time I can take you to where it shine (Right)
I can take you to sunny places when it's cold outside.

So why settle for ripple when you can be having wine (Wine)
Why settle for something mediocre when you can have something great?

I ain't tryna be rude, yeah I know you gotta dude but
I don't want to be rude, but I know you have a boyfriend.

He ain't gotta know about me
Keep our relationship a secret from your boyfriend.

See we could kick it in the states
We can hang out in the country where we both live.

Or switch countries to play it safe (You know, you know)
We can go to a different country to be even safer.

'Cause he ain't gotta know about me
Let's keep our relationship a secret.

See I can come and put it down when your nigga ain't around
I can make love to you when your boyfriend is not there.

He ain't gotta, he ain't gotta, he ain't gotta
He doesn't need to know.

Know about me
About us together.

Nah we ain't the same
We are not similar.

I ain't saying he a lame unh huh
I am not saying your boyfriend is not cool.

Lil Mama
A term of endearment.

Lemme just holla at ya
Let me talk to you.

Look
Listen carefully.

See you ain't gotta leave him
You don't need to break up with him.

I be the nigga that you call when you need him
I can be the one you call when you need someone to talk to.

Yup and I'll be there for ya when he start to switch on ya
I'll be there for you when your boyfriend turns against you.

Play my role from the sideline like a benchwarmer
I will wait for my turn and not interfere in your relationship.

So sub me in, I ain't ya man but we can just pretend
Let me play the role that your boyfriend usually plays.

Hit the mall girl I got enough to spend
Let's go shopping together, I have enough money.

And you could go home to him, I ain't hating him
You can go back to your boyfriend, I'm not mad at him.

'Cause see you just my lil secret like Xscape and them
Our relationship is a secret like the band Xscape had a hidden relationship.

He can be your man, I'm gon' be the one
You can keep your boyfriend, but I'll be there as someone else.

To take you out for dinner for two
I'll take you to dinner alone.

And girl I understand
I know what you're going through.

If he start acting up
If your boyfriend starts acting strange.

Then I'll be there to comfort you
I'll be there to make you feel better.

Shawty you know what it is
You know what's up.

I can spend the night
I can stay the night.

But I gotta be gone by the morning
But I have to leave in the morning.

You ain't gotta talk to me
You don't need to talk to me if you don't want to.

Ain't gotta see me
You don't need to see me if you don't want to.

I'm every now and then like an old friend to you
I'm like an old friend that you see sometimes.

I ain't saying he a lame un huh
I'm not saying your boyfriend is bad.

Everything we do
Everything we do together.

We keep that between me and you
We keep it a secret just between us.

Baby he ain't gotta know about the necklace
We don't need to tell him about the necklace I gave you.

Or waking up early to that four seasons breakfast
We don't need to tell him about the expensive breakfast we had in a fancy hotel.

'Cause that'll screw it up like the homies down in Texas
Because if we tell him, things will get messed up like the fights between friends in Texas.

And tell the truth, I ain't the one he tryna mess with
In reality, your boyfriend doesn't want to mess with me.

So keep it on the down low or whatever you call it
Let's keep it a secret.

Before the greatest sex have me trapped in the closet
Before we have sex and get caught in a complicated situation.

(Nah, ha ha) And like I said before
Just kidding. And like I said earlier.

Girl look I'm not a hater
I don't hate him.

So if you in we can kick it like a soccer player
If you're in, we can hang out like soccer players.

I can be your friend
We can be friends.

And let him be the one to take you out for dinner for two
Let him treat you to a romantic dinner.

And I'll go right up out the back
I'll leave through the back door.

Ain't gotta worry 'bout him catching youuu
You don't have to worry about your boyfriend catching us.

That's if I spend the night
That's only if I stay overnight.

But every time you talk to me
But every time we talk.

You wanna see me
You want to see me.

I'm every now and then like an old friend
I'm like an old friend you see once in a while.

I'm saying lil' Mama
I'm still talking to you, girl.

He ain't gotta know about nothing we do
We don't need to tell him about anything we do together.

I'm saying
I'm repeating myself.

He ain't gotta know about the G5 trips
We don't need to tell him about the trips on my private jet.

He ain't gotta know about the splurge on the black card
We don't need to tell him about the luxurious things I buy you.

Up in Louie Vuitton and Gucci and all of that
In expensive stores like Louis Vuitton or Gucci.

He ain't gotta know nothin' about that
He doesn't need to know anything about that.

None of that shit, you know what I'm saying?
None of those things, do you get me?

Huh, I'm saying
I'm still talking to you.

Look I'm like a cold I come and I go
I'm like cold weather, I come and go.

Ha ha ha ha
Just joking.

Yea unh huh (Un huh)
That's right.

Yeah
Yes.

Let's ride
Let's go.

Bow Weezy
Referring to Bow Wow.

(Oh, oh, oh)
Making a sound.

Yup O-Eezy
Referring to Omarion.

Aye Pain
Referring to T-Pain.

You a fool for this one homie
You're crazy for making this song, man.

Ha ha
Laughing.

Yeah, yeah yeah ('til fade)
Repetition till the end of the song.
