Say my name
Say my name
If nobody's around you say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin game

[Chorus]
Say my name 
Say my name 
You acting kind of shady
Ain't callin me baby
Why the sudden change

Say my name 
Say my name 
If no one is around you say baby I love you 
If you ain't runnin game
Say my name 
Say my name
You actin kind of shady
Ain't callin me baby 
Betta say my name

Any other day I would call you would say
Baby how's your day But today it ain't the same
Every other word is a huh, yeah okay
Could it be that you are at the crib wit another lady
If you took there first of all let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me and the other girl you playin
Why don't you say the things you said to me yesterday

I know you sayin I'm assuming things
(Somethings goin down that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange
(No ones holding you back from me)
'Cause I know how you usually do 
(When you sayin everything to me times 2)
Why can't you just tell the truth
(If someones there tell me who)

[Chorus]
Say my name 
Say my name 
You acting kind of shady
Ain't callin me baby
Why the sudden change

What is up wit this tell the truth who you wit
How would you like it if I came over wit my clique
Don't try to change it now see you got to bounce
When two seconds ago you said you just got in the house
It's so hard to believe you were home by yourself
When I just heard the voice the voice of someone else
Just this question why do you feel you got to lie
You caught in your game you cannot even say my name

I know you sayin I'm assuming things
(Somethings goin down that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange
(No ones holding you back from me)
Cause I know how you usually do 
(When you sayin everything to me times 2)
Why can't you just tell the truth
(If someones there tell me who)

[Chorus]
Say my name 
Say my name 
You acting kind of shady
Ain't callin me baby
Why the sudden change

Yay yay yay yay yay yeay yay yay yay yayayay oooh oooh oh

I know you sayin I'm assuming things
(Somethings goin down that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why your acting strange
(No ones holding you back from me)
'Cause I know how you usually do 
(When you sayin everything to me times 2)
Why can't you just tell the truth
(If someones there tell me who)

[Chorus]
Say my name 
Say my name 
You acting kind of shady
Ain't callin me baby
Why the sudden change
