Song Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I want to let you know
That I'm insulted, astonished
That he came onto me so bold
How could he be so cold?
You're like a sister to me
I know this hurt 'cause you love him so

He's a raunchy, doggish tramp
I just can't believe his act
And I had to let my sister know
That I won't stab you in your back
'Cause you're my friend through thick and thin

Gotta let you know what's goin' on
'Cause I can't watch him do my sister wrong
I know he's not the kind of man you want
He's playin' you, you, you
You don't need him

Drop his ass and leave that fool alone
He'll break your heart and wreck your happy home
You'd be better off on your own
He's playin' you, you, you
You don't need him

I gotta let you know (yeah, yeah, yeah)
He's creepin' on the down low
Keeps callin' me on the telephone
He's got a sexual jones
No girl, it's not just for you
It's for Tameka and Tammy too

You let him spend up all your dough
He's been labelin' you his ho
And I gotta let my sister know
That I can't let you go for that
'Cause you're my friend through thick and thin

Gotta let you know what's goin' on
'Cause I can't watch him do my sister wrong
I know he's not the kind of man you want
He's playin' you, you, you
You don't need him

Listen my friend (listen)
Don't take him in
Don't be a fool
Set some new rules (I can't deny)
I can't deny
Your man is fly (yes he is)
It's not worth the pain
Don't be insane

It's about time you open your eyes
You'll recognize that you're a prize to love
(A rare and precious gift for love)
Love
(Love, yeah)

Gotta let you know what's goin' on
'Cause I can't watch him do my sister wrong
I know he's not the kind of man you want
He's playin' you, you, you
You don't need him

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You don't need him
Drop his ass off at the door
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
He's tryin' to get with me
(You don't need him)

(Drop his ass and leave that fool alone)
I don't want him, no
We've been friends for too long
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I won't do it
(He's playin' you, you, you)
I won't do it
(You don't need him)
Nooooo...
