Rollin' to the club Stop to get my grub on Nothin' like those krispy kremes Soon as I was done It was time to get my groove on Find a place that's happenin' And I knew that it was on From the moment that I walked into the spot It was bangin' It was swangin' oh Till somethin' turned me off I wasn't sure Could of swore I saw you with someone And at much to my surprise (whoa) [Chorus] You were right there with your hands up in the air You had hoochies everywhere All on you It's like I almost didn't know you Tryin' to shake that ass Playa you don't even dance Sup wit' you It's like I don't even know you Left you at the crib Cause I know you get your game on Happens every Tuesday night You said that you was cool Your boys was comin' by (go baby have yourself a real good time) So I knew I could be wrong I was thinkin' there's no way it could be you Not my baby He ain't crazy no Then my girlfriends tipped me off When I got closer I could tell that it was you You was bangin' You was swangin' oh [Chorus: x2] Mindin' my own business My pager's goin' off My girlfriends tryin' to tell me You're doin' wrong I needed confirmation I knew you was a dog I just can't believe what I saw [Chorus: x3]
