Boy, I know you want me I can see it in your eyes

But you keep on frontin'

Won't you say what's on your mind

'Cause each and every time you need me

You give me signs

But when I ask you what's the deal

You hold it all inside

If you wanna be with me

You gotta keep it real

Tell me what's goin' on

Tell me how you feel

Boy I know you want me just as much as I want you

So come and get my love

It's all here for you

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you keep actin' this way

You're gonna lose my love

I ain't got no time to play, better hurry up

'Cause every time I come around and crews run around your way

I see you on the corner

But you don't know what to say

When I walk up to you baby

You seem so shy

What's the problem baby

Never had a girl like I

I can see right through you

And you know you wanna be mine

So get your act together

'Cause you're running out of time

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everytime I see you with your boys

You pretend as if you don't want me

When you get home you call me on the phone

And tell me how much you care

Yo, close your eyes, shorty

You're guaranteed to be hypnotized

By the remix that Wyclef provides

I don't care 'bout your size

Girl, shake your thighs

All I'm tryin' to do in the hood is stay alive

Make a little money with Destiny's Child

Thugs hear this song, they dance, they go wild

Like Texas, they movin' like No-limit soldiers

They went from a dream to the

Young supremes, sing it girls

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You'll be sayin' no, no, no, no, no

When it's really yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
