Nelly, I love you
I do need you
No matter what I do (woo)
All I think about is you (uh huh)

Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you (uh, uh, uh, uh)
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me and uh
She got the hots for me, the finest thing my hood done seen
But oh, no, oh, no
She got a man and a son though (check it)
But that's okay 'cause I
Wait for my cue and just listen, play my position like a shortstop
Pick up everything mami hittin'
And in no time (no time)
I'm gonna make this one here mine
And that's for sure 'cause I
I never been the type to break up a happy home, but uh
There's somethin' 'bout baby girl I just can't leave alone

Now that's gangsta
And I got special ways to thank ya
Don't you forget it, but uh

You and dirty got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turn to leave, she said (she said, she said, she said)
