[chaka khan]

Oooh noo-ohhh, noo-ohhh

Oooh noo-ohhh, noo-ohhh!

Oooh noo-ohhh, noo-ohhh

Oooh noo-ohhh, noo-ohhh!



Chorus: chaka khan (repeat 2x)



It ain't all good, and that's the truth

Thangs ain't goin like you think they should - it's all on you



[chaka khan]

I don't care about what you think you see

The thangs you want to know when you look at me

God knows i done been through and paid my dues

Can't change how you feel, cause it's - all on you-whoahhha-ohhh-yeah



[dove]

I wish that, you could be a little bit more upfront

Weigh the situation how you want (right)

The lovin that you claim is just a four letter word

The third letter's invitin so visualize the verb

You curve thoughtways when you're handlin the candleabra

So you sittin on the baby grand

Transmittin like you're made of man

But you paint a funny face like a chick

When i see you i'ma tell you quick that uhh..



Chorus 1/2



[dove]

I can't believe we built this large pizza pie together

No pepperoni

Yeah you wanted extra cheese, sometimes i gave you extras

How we divided slices like the red sea theory

I was moses hopelessly scorned by your thorn zapora

Tried to bring that fairy-tale life, you wanted horror

But my microscope couldn't see or cope with that

I had to bolt from that, and left you dead in the sea

It's better for me, i'm satisfied with reppin for d



[pos]

We were certified hot, then dropped to lukewarm

Now we back up in the spot, claimin never been gone

Niggaz who cut us off, wanna reattach us now

(them girls who brushed us off, say they want some #'s to dial)

Yeah i give that ass a number, and some lumber to pile

Now catch a curve from my kick (or show me lovin by brick)

So stick to the same plan, don't come shakin my hand

Like we peeps, it ain't beef but be sure to understand

Between us, it ain't all..



Chorus



[pos] you see them kids be schemin on what we done copped

[cha] always out there schemin!

[pos] they steady fiendin for the moment they can get us off the block

[cha] why they always fiendin?



[pos]

Your people might have your back, but you need to watch your front

Indeed, ain't nothin guaranteed



[chaka khan]

That's the truth! things ain't goin like you think they should



[pos]

A lot say they wanna walk in my size 10's

Aight then; here's a pair

Lace 'em up tight then you might feel what was dealt to me

You see ain't no young boys up in here; keep a clear head

Tryin to keep my pockets on stuffed - like deer heads

Upon the wall, so all the gall we get from y'all don't faze

So mind your biz and walk away

Cause i'm never gonna let you up inside my maze



[chaka khan]

I don't care about what you think you see

The thangs you want to know when you look at me

God knows i done been there and paid my dues

I can't change how you feel, cause it's all, on you-whoahhha-ohhhhh
