Jon B. feat Babyface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The games I used to play
The girls that didn't last
I know what's on your mind
You think I'm doing wrong
Can I say what is real
You are the only one
When I'm not around
Are claiming me to be
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Girl lets talk about what your friends told you
That I'm a selfish man
Want my cake and eat it to
Maybe in my past but you changed me now
Now that I've learned to love
It's you that showed me how
Your love so real
I'd be a fool to play
Play around on you I want to stay with you
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
You're my angel
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me (I don't wanna hurt you baby)
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say

Desiring to have it both ways
maybe in my past
Perhaps previously
but you've changed me now
However, at present, you have shifted my perspective
now that I've learned to love
Currently, as I have become capable of love
it's you that showed me how
It is due to your guidance and teachings
you're love's so real
Your love is genuine
I'd be a fool to play
It would be imprudent for me to deceive you
to play around on you
To engage in unfaithful behavior towards you
I hope to stay with you
My aspiration is to continue our relationship

Jon B is the only white man that sang R&B that married a black woman and didn’t just suck from the black community. He gave so much love back to us ❤
@8thhousemoonrabbit205
I think he's still married, to her and she's happy- lol where else they do that @in R&B???
