What's so different (Uh-huh)
Baby (Say what)
What's so different (Uh-huh)
Yeah (Bom, bom, bom, bom, yeah)
If you cheated on him
How I know you ain't gon? do it to me
(Can you feel this Bom bom bom bom, yeah)
I need to tell you something
Check this out
(Uh, Ginuwine, check)

You say you love me
But at one time you loved him
So what's so different
Tell me if you were in my shoes
What would you do or think of me
Would you trust me

But you feeding me all this rap about
How it's different
But it's not mentioned what you're doin? is wicked
Now I'm having second thoughts about you and me
'Cause this not how I want it or it should be

[Chorus]
You say you want my trust and
Told me you were leaving
How am I to know that you won't do it to me
You're telling me it?s different
But what the hell is different
If you cheated on him you'll do it to me

You're creepin' on him for me
But you say just trust me
How am I to know that you won't do it to me
You're telling me it?s different
But what the hell is different
If you cheated on him you'll do it to me

(Check this out)

Like the saying goes, you reap what you sew
And what goes around comes back around
To you 5 times harder
And I'm pretty sure that he's thinking
That you're totally his but you're here in my room
Up on top of me

All hugged up and all over me
Kissin' on me
Is that to get me where you want me to be
Don't want this to happen to me
So I'll drop you off, go back to your man
'Cause really, this ain't me

[Chorus]

Baby, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh (Say what)
Uh, uh, uh (Can ya feel me)
Uh, uh, uh (Can ya feel me)
Uh, uh, uh (Can ya feel me)
(Can ya feel me Can ya feel me)
(Can ya feel me Can ya feel me)

(Uh, ya see)
Don't tell him, baby (You don? went too far now, baby)
You won't do this shit to me (Yo? G, bring the bridge in)

Baby tell me one thing
How could you do it
What did he do to you
Does he know he blew it

Or is it just that
You want to get even
Baby, if that's not it
Please tell me the reason (Tell me, tell me)

I just don't want to
Get caught up in drama
If you don't want him
Just tell him, don't cheat on him (What?)

If you don't tell him
Me and you can't be
'Cause tell me how I?ll know
You won't do that shit to me (Not to me, baby)
You would do it to me

[Chorus]
