Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?
Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?
Why don't you see what I really want is for real?

But I don't think you know how to keep it real
You can be my lover or you can be friend,
We can be official or we can just pretend,

Just let a ^!$$% know before the night ends,
Just in time for our lives to begin.


Let me tell you bout this lady friend of mine
I don't know how to keep her off my mind
But let me tell you two things that I do know

She is the girl for me
I've already met my 10 girl
But my ^!$$%s say that it's a lost cause

Cause a girl like her just never falls for a ^!$$% like me
But when I see her I just ask her what do I have to do?


Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?
Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?
Why don't you see what I really want is for real?

But I don't think you know how to keep it real
You can be my lover or you can be friend
We can be official or we can just pretend

Just let a ^!$$% know before the night ends
Just in time for our lives to begin


I've been really thinking bout just what she does to me
How I care about her and how she can't see that
I'm the ^!$$% that she needs

And if I tell you I gat you baby girl believe that
I know ^!$$%s might lie
But we both know that that's no surprise

And I can see it in the signs that I need you by my side

Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?

Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?
Why don't you see what I really want is for real?
But I don't think you know how to keep it real

You can be my lover or you can be friend
We can be official or we can just pretend
Just let a ^!$$% know before the night ends

Just in time for our lives to begin

And I can tell when I look in your eyes,

You really wanna talk to me and baby girl it's no surprise
That you gat everything I need
I've really been wrestling with this one question

Let this be a lesson if your lady's your blessing
Let this be a lesson if your lady's your blessing


Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?
Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?
Why don't you see what I really want is for real?

But I don't think you know how to keep it real
You can be my lover or you can be friend
We can be official or we can just pretend

Just let a ^!$$% know before the night ends
Just in time for our lives to begin
