[English]
- I really like him.
But he is too possessive and too controlling.
I can't be myself around him.
Girl. Hold on a second.
- Yo, Jen.
Where you been?
- Baby? I'm here.
Can I breathe a second?
Been calling you like all day.
- You know what?
Let me call you right back.
- Look I need to know where you
- Girl. That's him again.
- Girl. Every time a man has me stressed,
I put on my best shoes and go out. Just go get some air.
- Okay
- And Jennifer. You are fabulous.
- Yeah I know
