questions
Gerald LeVert/Tamia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I noticed you ain't been around lately
I recognize there is a sudden change
I notice you haven't been calling me
I'm starting to see that things are not the same
Lately, I have been reaching out to you
Boy, you haven't been returning my calls
And even when I say, I love you
I notice there has been a slight pause

Please tell me what do you think it could be
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
I'm tired of all this up and down mystery
Please answer questions from one, two, three
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Ooh, ladies, help me out
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Said I'm tired of all these ups and downs
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Fellas, tell me what you're thinking
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Here's the reason why I ask these things

I was giving him the best of me
But my best stopped being good enough
I'm telling y'all, I would do anything
Talk about a woman who loves tough
and now he's coming home real, real late
I let him know its starting to bother me
He never once even touched his plate
and no response, he just went to sleep

Ladies, tell me, what do you think it could be?
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
I'm tired of this up and down mystery
Please answer questions from one, two, three
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Ooh, ladies help me out, yeah
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Said I'm tired of all these ups and downs
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Fellas, tell me what you're thinking
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Can't you see why I ask these things?

Used to take me shopping all the time
Used to go club hoppin' all the time
Where you were I would be all the time
Now all you do is leave me (behind boy)
I used to be your best friend (remember)
We were close like cousins (remember)
Used to give me lovin' (and now)
All you're doing is trippin' (ladies, what do you think?)

Ladies, tell me, what do you think it could be?
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
Said I'm tired of this up and down mystery
So please answer questions from one, two, three
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Tell me, fellas, do he love
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Cheatin' on me, I gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta know
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Ladies, you gotta ask yourself sometimes
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Is he creepin'?
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?




I gotta know, said, I gotta know
Do he love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
