Mario Winans Album

[Talking]
I just need to talk to you for a second,
It won't take me long,
I gotta get this off my chest,
Listen!

I'm really glad that you can take out time,
Cause I got a lot on my mind,
I never thought that you would be the kind,
To do the dirt and hang you head,
Babygirl won't you make me understand,
Why you would say the things you said to me,
You made me believe we would be forever
But it was all a lie

[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you ment for me,
Tell me

Now I know I've asked you time and time again,
Were you sure you didn't want another man,
I would of understood it back then,
But you had to wait until I gave in,
Now I know I've been a sucker for your love,
Baby tell me what the hell was I thinking of,
I should of listened to them when they told me
But I learned the hard way

[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you ment for me,
Tell me

Why would you play with my heart,
When I gave it all,
It's tearing me apart girl,
All you had to do is so say,
I would of let you go,
You're making it so hard girl

Why would you play with my heart,
When I gave it all,
It's tearing me apart girl,
All you had to do is so say,
I would of let you go,
You're making it so hard girl

Tell me why, why baby

[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you ment for me,
Tell me

[Chorus]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
If it never really was what you ment for me,
Tell me

[Chorus (Girl's part)]
If it never really was what you seen in me,
Why did you say you believed in me,
(I just tried to give you what you needed)
It's all because of you my security,
It's driving me crazy baby,
(Would you just tell me why you lied to me)
If it never really was what you had for me,
Why did you say that you wanted me, needed me,
(don't know)
If it never really was what you ment for me,
Tell me

Just cant believe this man
this another night of these thoughts
Can't get this out of my head

Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

[chorus]
I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart cant take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know

OOH ooh baby

I think about it when I hold you
And lookin' in your eyes I can't believe
I don't need to know the truth
Baby, keep it to yourself

[chorus]
I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart cant take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know

Did he touch you better than me (touch you better than me)
Did he watch you fall asleep (watch you fall asleep baby)
Did he say all those things that you used to do to me(OOH oh that you used to do to me baby)
If you're better off that way (better off that way)
Baby all that I can say (all that I can say)
Just go on and do ya thing and go (Just stay away from me Baby...


I don't even know your
Whereabouts or
how you movin
I know when you in the house
When you cruisin'
It's been provin'
My love you abusin'
I cant understand how a man
Got you choosin
Undecided
I came and provided
My undivided
You came and denied it
Don't even try it
I know when you lyin'
Don't even do that
I know why you cryin'
Im not applyin' no pressure
Just want to let you know
That I don't wan to let you go
And I don't want to let you leave
Cant say I didn't let you breath
Gave you extra cheese
Put you in the SUV
You wanted ice
So I made you freeze
Made you hot
Like the West Indies
Last time you invest in me
Cuz if not then its best you leave
holla

[chorus]
I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart cant take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart cant take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know
If you're playin' me
Keep it on the low
Cuz my heart cant take it anymore
And if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know

You know...
Oh baby....
You know....
You know the time I was lovin'
Girl out of time, girl out of time
Girl out of time, girl out of time
I was lovin' you baby

[Mario]
Every little thing you said
Didnt come from your heart
Now I'm laying out in my bed
Wondering what we are
Cause you never meant what you said
And you throw it all on my head
You made me believe, that you wanted me
You could've told the truth instead, baby

[Bridge]
I don't know why
Didn't realize
You took the time to pick me up
And let me down baby
Look in my eyes, you can't deny
That your the reason for the pain I feel inside

[Chorus]
When I looked into your eyes
There was nothing I can see
Now I'm lost and can't find my way
Cause love has blinded me and Now
I don't know what to do, nothing that have to prove
You played me for a fool, all the time I was lovin' you

[Mario]
Now the things were going
I knew I should've left back then
But my heart was steadily growing
Blaming, all the man I am
If you felt this way
You should've showed it
You shouldn't ever took so long
Made it cleared, that you don't care
Where did I go wrong, baby?

[Bridge + Chorus]

[Slim with Mario]
You said you loved me
But I'm lonely a'gain
It's gonna take time for me
Yes, you did, Yes you did
You could've told me
That you don't love me anymore
Somebody tell me why, baby

[Chorus]

[Slim with Mario]
Can't act like you didn't know
Didn't owe it all that time
But I can't blame you
I should've known
When I looked into your eyes
Girl, so many nights of sittin alone
I just sit and wonder why
Baby, what you did was dead wrong
Didn't have to lie

[Chorus to fade]

(feat. Loon)

[Intro]
Yeah, this song right here
Is about a young man
Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life
Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused
This man's name is Mario Winans, listen

[Chorus - Mario Winans]
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through more trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it

[Verse - Mario Winans]
I've seen it all
But I never let no one
Tell me it's right, when it's wrong
Cause I heard it all before
And it gives me a reason to fight for
A right for, to do what I gotta do

[Chorus]

[Verse - Mario Winans]
All of my life
I was told that you had to go through
Just to get where you want
And if you come across a storm
You just gotta keep holding on, and stay strong
And do what you gotta do

[Chorus]

[Verse - Loon]
Hey yo I came from the bottom, worked my way up
Ran wit big dudes, had to get my weight up
Now my cake up, now it's lights, cameras, make up
Trips to Jacob, foreign countries
Reminisce of times when we all was hungry
Now I made it, and all y'all niggaz can hate it
Seeing that I sound like Mase and
Knowning that I came from the basement
Did my own thing, so face it
Now they coming wit cases, now wit this hand I'm racist
I'm so close I can taste it
Sometimes I just wanna grab toast and take it
But I'm a keep moving and shaking
Stay true to my faith and
I ain't worried about you, I'm a make it (I'm a make it)

[Chorus]

[Mario]
Time, is taken a tour on my life
These days keep on passing me by
I want to see you but there's is no time
So I sit here and stare at the sky
And I'm hopin that you realize I Want to feel you
But there's no time.

[Chorus]
Yesterday you said that we can get away
The day before I was gone like any other day
3 days ago I wrote this song just for you
Will I ever get ahead through to you

[Mario]
Time, just wont see me I do I
I'm still waiting for you to reply
I need to hear you but there's no time
So else keep this line
I cant deny I miss you
Can we spend more time

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I've waited so long
To wait for you
And spend all my food
Will I ever get through?
What can I do
To get this to
My love is for you
My love is for me

[Mario]
I just cant waste any more time
So tell me whats with you and I
I waited for you so give me time

[Chorus 2x]

Baby..Baby...oh will I ever get
Through to you baby....

[Verse 1]
Little tired, I can't sleep what's wrong with me?
Still all in denial that you've been gone for weeks
Now I know what I should've known right from the beginning
My heart was blind and now I'm man enough to admit it.

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go another day bein' without your love.
(no I don't baby)
I've been listenin to my heart and now its speakin bout love.
(Tell me why baby)
Tell my why you always have to leave and take your love away
(you didn't have to do it baby)
Now I realize you were the best for me just a little too late baby

[Verse 2]
I shoulda trusted my instinct, whats wrong with me?
Thought I learned all my lessons but I didn't learn a thing
You once said that you couldn't take me where you was headed
I cried inside and now I'm man enough to admit it

[Chorus]

[Refrain]
Now I miss you like a nigga should,
miss you like a nigga should baby, baby
[repeat 3x]

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
First time we met, didn't think you wanted me.
Now, when I'm around you hardly ever speak.
But I really shouldn't judge by the way you treated me
Cuz you were waitin' for the perfect time to set me free
I see, but i dont believe

[Chorus]
Seems unreal to me almost like a dream
Now your lovin' me got me in disbelief
After all this time you made up your mind
Now your wonderin' why you got me in disbelief
[repeat]

[Verse 2]
Kept it all inside had it tucked away for that day
Didn't realize why you couldn't ever say
That you really really really love me
And I'm your man now your tellin' me that we are meant to be
Now I don't understand

[chorus]

[Refrain]
Should've left it alone after waitin so long
What are you doin to me baby?
I don't wanna receive what your tellin' to me
Not after how I have waited
[repeat]

[chorus 3x]

[Phone Rings]
[Girl] Hello
[Guy] Hey yo
[Girl] Hey baby
[Guy] Where you at man?
[Girl] Huh? I'm on my way home
[Guy] It's four thirty in the mornin'
[Girl] I know, I had to drop my girls off
[Guy] Alright, be careful
[Girl] Bye

[Girl] Yeah girl, that was him
I tell him the same thing I always tell him
And it worked again
[laughs]

[Guy] Yo it's still me on the phone

Can't believe that you did it
Oh baby, yeah
Can't believe that you did it to me
Oh baby
Love ya baby

[Mario Winans]
What am I to do, when you act a fool
Do I put on your shoes and act a fool like you
Now baby that ain't cool, you ain't got a clue
What you had in me, too fine to see
And I don't really wanna be baby

[1 - Mario Winans]
What's the reason you want me
Girl the truth is you need me
First you say that you trust me
then you go and betray me
Now I took all I can
And I know I'm a good man
God I wash my hands, make another plan
Cos I don't really wanna stay baby

[Chorus: Mario Winans]
So if you wanna go, walk right out that door
Cos I don't want no more, of your pretty girl bull-ish
If you wanna leave, it's okay with me
Matter of fact I'm begging please
Take your pretty girl bull

[Mario Winans]
Now this is number two, them chance I gave to you
You said it was the end, but here we go again
I thought I was a friend, not just another man
While holding hands, you don't understand
and I don't really get you baby

[1]

[Verse - Black Rob]
Ever since he met you had that good Oochie Wally
Curves so killer, you put insurance on your body
Remember that jude joints? your hair all knotty
And I was coming through in that blue Maserati go
See this honey was potent like cook blow
Crack! I mixed the Black with Phillipino
Used to live in Reno but we met on the beach
Sang bars from the star, everythang was peace
Then we got our shit together, you moved in the castle
Let you shop wit the Capital One, no hassles
One minute you're cool, next minute you're amped
Talking loud trying to play me like a wet food stamp
Ho!! Think of me in your life with the next dude
I'm like Chef, I'm contemplating my next move
Then think of all the wankstas I hit
Ain't this a bitch? shit this is all the thanks I get?
I'm gone

[Chorus - Mario Winans]
How could you do it to a nigga like this?
Tell me, tell me
And why would you give another nigga my kiss?
You hurt me, hurt me babe
I gave my love, my time, my life
In return you give me pain
What a shame, and this is the thanks I get baby!
