Hey baby, baby Can you tell me what you're going through Is it a problem that ya keep holding on to Lately you've been acting kinda strange And I wonder if your feelings for me have changed [Chorus] Can you tell me What's going on in your mind Is it affection ya need Is it love you wanna find I can take you where you wanna go Just stand by my side And just be sure what you want You can't be wasting my time Communication is the key to our happiness If we just talk about it Maybe we can make some sense I'm not the type of woman that you can play for a fool Use and abuse me And just act like it's cool, oh [Chorus x2] [Mr. Cheeks] Yo, Mona Lisa See there's something that we both should understand Now if we share a life, you be my wife, I be your man Nothin' can separate us, nothin' stronger than pride I see it's time to open up wide, release what I feel inside And take you places that you wanna be Yo, come with me I'll show you things That you would wanna see Afraid of rejection but your affection girl, it's real Yo, I can write a book on how you make a nigga feel, come on [Chorus until fade]
