Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya I don't know why you treat me so motherfucking bad
You ain't gonna realize whats you got till its gone, thats real
You gets no loving, babe

Girl you know I got you living plush in the cut
An every time I wanna dig you out
You tell me "don't rush"
Money stashing, you got me sneaking
An we all alone in the zone, I be tweaking
I almost got caught, my game is lethal
I had to stay at my daddy's house, on the couch last weekend
It's written on my face, an I can't even hide it
So I decided, to ride it
Roses are red, an Violets are blue
Girl you got a nigga hooked, when you do what ya do when ya do
An now ya want a Benz for ya birthday
An I been waiting to hit that ass since the first day
I'm buying you gifts, drape'in you out, with gold
I'm showing you love, you's above any other hoe
Tattoo wit my name on your tits
An every time I dip, I make sure to kick some chips
Now bitch trip

You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}

An that's on lust, an I trust that's you wont bust under pressure
An I ain't even trip, when you dip wit them chips off the dresser
An you didn't even have to fess up
I just gave you another G, an told you "pick ya dress up"
For the wedding, the setting was set
40 G's for your ring, you's a Queen sipping Moet
I'm upset, an I don't even want to have jip out
But baby didn't give it to me,
I was down at the alter, I seen Sister Salta
Said "lady could you pray for me?"
I'm in a love affair, I can't share, it ain't fair
Because my life is my wife, an that ain't right
Cause I'm a do what I'm suppose to do, an what I was choose to do
Whether it's buying a house, or car, or some clothes for you
I try to stay true to it, see I ain't new to it
That's why I do for you boo, I need love too, three

You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}

See I done put it on the line, see this here is genuine
An as long as you with me girl, see everything is gonna be fine
See can't nobody match it, don't touch it, ya might scratch it
This love affair, it's so original, I call it classic
See I'm attracted, an I'm infatuated
At the same time, belated, an gang related, Dogg Pound on mine
But to fine time to leave all that behind
An trying to spend some time an give you all of mine
{what's that} ya see
I ain't hard to get along with,
To do a song with a nigga like D.J. Pooh
Dedicate this whole thing, to a girl like you, boo, look here
You know I'm true, just continue to do me like you want me to do you
An, I hope we don't never have to, write another chapter
Just keep it on the real wit me
Cause I don't really wanna, see you on the corner
Just show a nigga love ya see {gets no love, gets no love}

You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}
You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
You don't show me some love
{show me love, for real, you gets no love, yea}




You gets no loving babe
{you gets no love, you ain't gonna miss it till it's gone}
