Song | Tell Me Why |
Artist | 8Ball & MJG |
Album | Hustle & Flow |
Yeah.. | |
What'chu talkin 'bout, what'chu think you doin? | |
Why you walkin out, where you think you goin? | |
You actin like you didn't, you knew what I was doin | |
3 o'clock in the mornin, you knew where I was goin | |
Straight to my spot, a loft in the city | |
Stopped and picked up somethin pretty on the freeway suckin titties | |
You in the bed sleepin, I said that I was workin | |
You smile when you see me but inside you was hurtin | |
The cars and the clothes, whatever that you asked me | |
I was takin care of you, I thought that you was happy | |
Out of town, fuckin 'round, all-star, Superbowl | |
A-T-L, Magic City, tippin big dick hoes | |
Panties on the back seat, I don't know whose shit that is | |
Condoms and phone numbers, I don't know whose shit that is | |
F'real, you know when I realized that I was wrong | |
When I wrote the words to this song | |
[Chorus: unnamed singer] | |
Just tell me why baby, did I ever did I ever did I ever let you go baby | |
Cause I love you cause I love you cause I really love you so baby | |
Baby, woo - it's the very last time that I'll let you down | |
I won't make the same mistakes again | |
[MJG] | |
Yeah, since way back I was a mag-a-net for pretty women | |
And brought up in the city where they exercise their pimpin | |
I fight temptation daily, I could be in Paris chillin | |
With somethin young, eager talent, they ready and willin | |
I get a lot of phone numbers but don't really call 'em | |
Unless I hit 'em just to let 'em know I'm out here ballin | |
I know you picture me, laid up with these other women | |
Most of the time I'm not, occasionally I get 'em | |
Who was that woman lookin at me up in Wal*Mart | |
Lock in the sexual fantasy, her drawers hot | |
But back to the subject, the chemistry I really loved it | |
Mental, emotional, couldn't put nothin above it | |
But every unturned stone you had to touch it | |
Rolled 'em over, look what you found, now you disgusted | |
But before I leave, look me in my eye | |
Don't cry, never lie.. | |
[Chorus] | |
[8 Ball] | |
You and me, full of that, sticky weed and cog-nac | |
You like how I lick it then, put the dick up in your back | |
There you go, talkin 'bout, what you know, who done said | |
that they saw me trickin some-where with one of yo' friends | |
Did you see me do it NO, do you know that shit fo' sho' | |
Who you gon' believe me, or them ol' meddlin hoes | |
Daaaamn, I think of all the shit I put you through | |
This a lonely game and, sometimes I be missin you | |
[MJG] | |
I got a tank of gas to burn up, turn up the radio | |
Baby hit your girls, go tell 'em c'mon get ready to go | |
We headed fo', somewhere, tucked in and very low key | |
No interruptions, no cell phones, no tee-vee | |
Just you and me, sippin up on some Hennessy | |
Makin sure that we finish the whole, cup to the end it be | |
meant to be chemistry between us and even though | |
you saw the bitches in my Beamer.. | |
[Chorus - to fade] | |
Yeah.. | |
What' chu talkin ' bout, what' chu think you doin? | |
Why you walkin out, where you think you goin? | |
You actin like you didn' t, you knew what I was doin | |
3 o' clock in the mornin, you knew where I was goin | |
Straight to my spot, a loft in the city | |
Stopped and picked up somethin pretty on the freeway suckin titties | |
You in the bed sleepin, I said that I was workin | |
You smile when you see me but inside you was hurtin | |
The cars and the clothes, whatever that you asked me | |
I was takin care of you, I thought that you was happy | |
Out of town, fuckin ' round, allstar, Superbowl | |
ATL, Magic City, tippin big dick hoes | |
Panties on the back seat, I don' t know whose shit that is | |
Condoms and phone numbers, I don' t know whose shit that is | |
F' real, you know when I realized that I was wrong | |
When I wrote the words to this song | |
