Baby, I know it's been awhile since you seen me
And there's a lot of things I wanna show you
Most things you never knew I could do
Listen, baby, boo, I wanna whisper in ya ear
Tell you what I'm all about
Re-introduce myself and remove all doubts
You can let your hair down, you can let yourself go
Cause I came back to let you know that

It's the return, it's the return of your velvet teddy bear
Girls, I'm here

Girls, I'm here

Shortie, the vibe you're giving me is straight sexy
And I gotta do what your body tells me
Cause I meet expectations better yet exceed em
You best believe I'm a rider nova Casanova
All of the above when it comes to making love

You can let your hair down, you can let yourself go
Cause I came back to let you know that

It's the return, it's the return of your velvet teddy bear

How would you like it if I talked about your skin
The way you wear your hair (oh, girl)
Would you like if I talked about your butt or once a month
Turned into someone that was hard to love

How would you like it if I didn't like your smoke
Didn't like your polish you be wearing on your toes
If I didn't like your neck-a-lace or what you cooked for breakfast
Would I be wrong, would I be wrong

Why you wanna change me
Flip all the thangs that really make me the way that I am
Used to make you happy, baby, why you wanna change me
You used to like your big old teddy bear
You used to let me get it anywhere
Now, baby, it's crazy
Why, why, why you wanna change me

Now what if all I did was pick apart
Your friends cause they ain't got no ends
What if I talked about your face in the morning
Cause we know that you ain't cute in the morning
What if I criticized the way that you be eating
And when you sleeping
You be doing that heavy breathing
What if I was at or about your house creeping
Would I be wrong, would I be wrong

Why you wanna change me
Flip all the thangs that really make me the way that I am
Used to make you happy, baby, why you wanna change me
You used to like your big old teddy bear
You used to let me get it anywhere
Now, baby, it's crazy
Why, why, why you wanna change me

We used to love breaking up
Knowing well be together again
And we used to love the arguments
Cause we making love by the end, girl
How you gonna change everything in return
Cause I don't wanna go if it ain't gonna be the same
If it ain't broke then why you wanna change

Why you wanna change me
Flip all the thangs that really make me the way that I am
Used to make you happy, baby, why you wanna change me

And, girl, here is our story

Oh, baby, I remember the first kiss
And how good your lips felt
I can't forget, can't forget
I's on your porch outside
You put my hands on your thighs
Us going up to your room and you giving me all of you
I remember them tears that fell from your eye
When you caught me red-handed in a lie
I remember how you felt then, I remember how I felt then
I remember how I prayed and girl I'm glad ya stayed

This is our story from beginning to end
Baby listen, you'll see how we became lovers
Turn it up, you'll hear how we became friends

From day one until now
Oooh, rom now til forever
Til forever from forever to eternity

The sad and that is our story

One side of this story
Your side of this story
One side of this story
Your side of this story

Uh, tell your mother, it's alright
Tell your sisters and brothers, it's okay

Your friends are on the way
Tell em calm down
Cause they don't even know
We going to work this out

Cause that's how it starts, right there
Telling everybody round here
What's going on between this
We can't let em all in here

Cause everybody ain't for us
Specially me
When they only hear

One side of the story and that's your side of the story
Then they make up their own story
I wonder if they only heard my story
That I love you only, baby, can't you see
They don't know about you and me

I got an idea we should get away
Somewhere with a view of the ocean for a couple days
All night we could make make up to break up love
And clear our minds, nobody there but us
And if the phone rings, let it ring
If there's a knock at the door, let em knock
If it's the end of the world, let it end
At least I'll be with my girl

Cause everybody ain't for us
Specially me when they only hear

One side of the story and that's your side of the story
Then they make up their own story
I wonder if they only heard my story
That I love you only, baby, can't you see
They don't know about you and me

When they see ya cry
They don't know I'm hurt
When they feel your pain
They don't know I"m worse off
But I hold it in til I see you again
Cause I don't wanna answer to nobody but you

One side of the story
Your side of the story
One side of the story
They only hear one side of the story
And that's your side of the story
Then they make up their own story
I wonder if they only heard my story
That I love you only, baby, can't you see
They don't know about you and me

They don't know what we know
One side of the story and that's your side of the story
Baby, tell them that they don't know what we know
One side of the story and that's my side of the story

Well, I stepped in twelve o'clock feeling like a million bucks
Diamonds shining off of my cuffs
Then I saw an angel out of the blue
A certified stallion, body made of porcelain
Had to get my mind right to holla what it do

Then you looked up with those green eyes
So captivating, so motivating
You might not know me but I wanna show you
I can give you what you need

I'm about to be out
So go on tell me what it is
What it is, what it is
Are you gonna be out with a guy
Standing around with your friends
What it is, what it is
Tell me what the business is

Are you thirsty, you wanna wet your throat before we go
let's creep to the bar take a shotta XO
Maybe it'll help us loosen up, guaranteed to get us right
We can two step to the door
I think I found what I came here for
I don't wanna wait a minute more
We've wasted half the night

When you walked by with those thick thighs
So captivating, so motivating
Go on and take my hand, show me that you're comfortable
Let me give you what you need

I'm about to be out
So go on tell me what it is
What it is, what it is
Are you gonna be out with a guy
Standing around with your friends
What it is, what it is
Tell me what the business is

My seven fifties waiting

Cause time is of the essence, baby

Tell me another lie
Make me believe it's all in my mind
Tell me you was out with your girls last night
And that my boys didn't see you with another guy

Make me believe I'm tripping
When your cell phone rings at three in the morning
You get up and leave the room,
Tell me another lie instead of the ugly truth

Baby girl, I'm not stupid
When you talk to me like I don't know
What kind of cologne I buy
When I find the Dolce & Gabana, it ain't mine
Baby, lie to me one more time

I don't want the truth, no, no, no
I don't wanna have to forgive you for
Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly I'd rather just not know
I don't want the truth, no no no
I don't wanna have to forgive you for
Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly, I'd rather just not know

I can't sleep all night
Trying to convince myself that we're alright
And it's sad that the truth is I know that you're doing wrong
But you're still my right

Make me believe I'm tripping
When your cell phone rings at three in the morning
You get up and leave the room, tell me another lie
Instead of the ugly truth

Baby girl, I'm not stupid
When you talk to me like I don't know
What kind of cologne I buy
When I find the Dolce & Gabana, it ain't mine
Baby, lie to me one more time

I don't want the truth, no, no, no
I don't wanna have to forgive you for
Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly, I'd rather just not know
I don't want the truth, no, no, no
I don't wanna have to forgive you for
Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly, I'd rather just not know, just not know

Sugar, I'd rather just not know
I'd rather keep believing you still love me so
I'd rather just not know

I don't want the truth, no, no, no
I don't wanna have to forgive you for
Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly, I'd rather just not know
I don't want the truth, no, no, no

Anything that you might have done wrong
Honestly, I'd rather just not know, just not know

I don't know why I can't stop loving you
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, now
Na, na, na, na, now
Na, na, na, na, no

I was the one that said that we should take some time
Told you I needed some space to clear my mind
You do you and I'll do me for awhile
And baby, it's just temporary

You swore up and down to me you understood
Said it's cool and when I came back we'd be all good
I did all I had to do and then came looking for you
To tell you, to tell you

Ain't no party better than your love
Ain't no party better than your love
No club, girls that give it up
Can do me like you can do me like you
No party better than your love
I came back like I said I would
To tell you that nothing could
Could do me like could do me like you

Na, na, na, na, no

Girl, you said you'd be here when I came back, but you not
Word on the street is you shaking your ass up in the spot
Every chance you get now, baby, that ain't you and that ain't cool

And I hear you saying if it's good for you
Why ain't it good for me
Now I regret my decision
Cause I want us back how we used to be

But it's too late for that
Cause we on different tracks
Going different ways
But girl let me say

Ain't no party better than your love
Ain't no party better than your love
No club, girls that give it up
Can do me like you can do me like you
No party better than your love
I came back like I said I would
To tell you that nothing could
Could do me like could do me like you

No, na, na, na, na, no

Ain't no party not better than your love
When I was all up in the club I found out that
Ain't no party worth going to
When I should have been with you

Ain't no party better than your love
Ain't no party better than your love
No club, girls that give it up
Could do me like you could do me like you
No party better than your love
I came back like I said I would
To tell you that nothing could
Could do me like could do me like you

Na, na, na, na, now
Na, na, na, na, no
Na, na, na, could do me like you

Mmmmm, oooooh

Before you leave let me put something on your mind
I never did wrong girl, I just made a mistake
I learned from my lesson
So now I gotta pay

I understand all that
You leaving and all that
Telling all your girls you hate me
And how you ain't coming back

But tell me something shortie
Do you still love me
Cause nowadays it ain't cool to stay
If a guy did you wrong

You don't wanna be nobody's fool
But if deep inside you still wanna hold on

Listen to ya heart, do what it say
If it's telling you to hold on
Don't let go, baby, listen to your heart
Let it lead the way, you just follow
I hear it saying, I hear it saying
You should be staying, you should be staying
Baby, listen to your heart and don't let go

Don't listen to them girls
They don't mean no good
Misery love company and if they could
Get with a dude like me you know that they would
Jump at a chance to get up, get up out the hood
But nevermind all that, they hating and all that
It's up to you if you're gonna decide to take me back
But it's no pressure, baby girl, I just want ya

Listen to ya heart, do what it say
If it's telling you to hold on
Don't let go, baby, listen to your heart
Let it lead the way, you just follow
I hear it saying, I hear it saying

Baby, listen to your heart and don't let go

Baby girl, I ain't trying to play with ya mind
Baby girl, I ain't trying to waste ya time
