(It must be the way he touch me)
Yah, yah, yah

He live with his momma but I treat him like a king
Yeah, every time he come around, he got me acting like a fiend
When he be asking me for money, I can never tell him no
And when he say he wanna see me, I drop everything to go
I know he makes me look cray (I know he make me)
I do whatever he say (I do whatever)
Tell me the time and the place (tell me the time and place I'll go)
He know that I'm on my way
Give him the keys to my car (give him the keys to my)
He bring it back by tomar (yah, yah)
I got whatever he need
Long as he give me that D

I can't help it, it's a shame what he do to me

He keep me wetter than water

He don't need to step out, he won't find no bitches that's better than me
When he take me down he be snapping
'Cause he get me there like a taxi (skrrt)
They wanna know why I stay happy
You know what I say when they ask me
