Hello?

[Fantasia]
Hello, ca-can I speak to Jennifer please?

Yes, this is Jennifer.
May I ask who's calling?

Hi Jennifer.
I'm Tony's girlfriend.
I don't mean to call on that disrespectful stuff like

[Jennifer]
Wait a minute. Tony's girlfriend?
Apparently you got the wrong number because I'm Tony's woman,
His only woman that is.

[Fantasia]
Well obviously that's what he's been telling you,
But I'm calling right now to formally introduce myself.
My name is Fantasia

[Jennifer]
Did you just say introduce yourself?

[Fantasia]
Yeah

[Jennifer]
Well I don't need no introduction.
I am his woman and I am Jennifer Hudson.
If this was ten years ago, I'd be at your front door ready to whoop your ass.
But you know what? I'm too grown for that.
I ain't got nothing else to say.

[Jennifer]
I'm his only woman, his woman
And you can't break up this home
You can say what you want
This is my man get your own
After all these years I spent
Must have been close to ten
You can't mean the same to him
Especially when that's my man

[Fantasia]
Baby now if he's with you
Tell me why he calls me boo
Guess he played you like a fool
I think he's lying to you

[Fantasia]
Oh, I'm just tryin' to talk to you baby
Woman to woman
Like two adults not tryin' to start no commotion
But the man you claim is yours says he's mine
And he loves me too
Same promises to you
The honest truth
Guess we both are fools

[Jennifer]
Seems that you're the one who's calling me
Oh, he belongs to me. Only me. And only me
This situation you don't want no confrontation wi-with me boo
I don't know what he's telling you
But it seems to me that you're confused

[Fantasia]
I'm his only woman, his woman yeah
And what you're saying to me I don't care

[Jennifer]
I'm not tryin' to go back and forth
Simply you're not welcome over here

[Jennifer]
After all these years I spent
Must have been close to ten
You can't mean the same to him
Especially when that's my man

[Fantasia]
Baby now if he's with you
Tell me why he calls me boo
I guess he's lying to me (He's lying to you)

Oh, I can't believe it (Can't believe it)
The same man that I knew
When he lived with his mama (I knew him too yeah)
The same damn man
Who car note that I paid
Who bed that I made
So you better believe
After all the years I spent
Must have been close to ten
You can't mean the same to him
Especially when he's my man

Baby now if he's with you




Tell me why he calls me boo
Guess he lied to me (He's lying to you)
