Don't let her love haunt you, lust for what you wanted Go for your guns and back out on anyone who tries to interfere or intervene on me Peelin' your wide body out of them tight jeans Wrist on freese, see it's on me Shoes 19, comin' through in that new Bentley thing From town to town and city to city You and I make headlines like Lo and Diddy and Bob and Whitney It appears the Lord sent me a down But I'm real devilish and freak that Forget the story, I know you're gettin' bored And that boy ain't gettin' you horny no more, is he??

But we one in the same, that's why we get along Freak off and get it on When we make love lookin' somethin' like soft porn Tell me, baby, do you really want to go home to him?? But the brightest of your days just goin' look dim Cause you fuckin' with a loser, baby, you can't win When it's said and done you're gonna need me Lovin', thuggin' and I know you [Chorus] And I know you're gettin' bored Yeah, yeah, I.G, Ja Rule B.
