Song Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike]
You don't understand there's no equivalent to me
Check my qualities
In my back pocket got affection
Not to mention the thug in me
You got to see

[Pre-Chorus: Ad-libs - Mike]
But I don't think you know who really runs the show
You was just a pile of cents
Now you're worth a little more
I was holding you down
You thought I would stick around
(But you were just too blind to see)
Girl, I...

[Chorus:]
I know this, if I don't know nothing
I know one thing for sure
I know that I'm the reason you walking like you're walking
You talking how you're talking
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you

[Verse 2: Robert]
Girl, I had some plans for us
Take a trip overseas for us
To a foreign land
Cause I was your man
Girl, I was changing you

[Brian:]
When it was too late for you
Girl, I ain't no fool
But I don't think you know...

[Pre-Chorus: Ad-libs - Que]
But I don't think you know who really runs the show. (Don't really know who runs the show)
You was just a pile of cents (Pile of cents)
Now you're worth a little more (Worth a little more)
I was holding you down (Yeah)
You thought I would stick around (Stick around)
(But you was just too blind to see
Girl, I...)

[Chorus: Ad-libs - Que]
I know this, if I don't know nothing
I know one thing for sure (One thing for sure)
I know that I'm the reason you walking like you're walking (Hmmm, you walking like you're walking, yeah)
You talking how you're talking (Talking baby)
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you

[Bridge: Ad-libs - Willie & Mike & Brian]
When you was mine's...
(You was mine's)
You know, the best times of your life
(Best time of your life baby)
Now...
(Now)
Some way understand.
(Yeah)
But you act like you don't know
That's why I had to let you go
(Cause you)
Cause you don't understand why you're walking different
Why you're talking different now (Oh, different baby)
Hey...
Hey!

[Chorus: Ad-libs - Brian]
I know this, if I don't know nothing (Know this)
I know one thing for sure. (I know one thing, I know I'm the only man in your heart)
I know that I'm the reason you walking like you're walking (Said you're walking like)
You talking how you're talking (You talking like)
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you
(You act like you don't know)

I know this, if I don't know nothing (Gave up anything for you baby)
I know one thing for sure (Yes, I did now, for sure)
I know that I'm the reason you walking like you're walking (Walking like you)
You talking how you're talking (You talking like you)
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you (Oh yeah)

I know this, if I don't know nothing
I know one thing for sure
I know that I'm the reason you walking like you're walking
You talking how you're talking
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you
