(Tank fly boss walk jam nitty-gritty, You're listening to the boy from the big bad city, This is jam hot. This is jam hot.) Friends tell me I am crazy That I'm wasting time with you You'll never be mine That's not the way I see it 'Cause I feel you're already mine Whenever you're with me [Chorus:] People always talk about reputation I don't care about your other girls Just be good to me Friends are always telling me You're a loser I don't care what you do to them Just be good to me Friends seem to always listen To the bad things that you do You never do them to me You may have many others But I know when you're with me You are all mine [Chorus] (Tank fly boss walk jam nitty-gritty, You're listening to the boy from the big bad city, This is jam hot. This is jam hot.) Love is a game of chances So I'll take my chance with you And you boy won't ever change We talk about it and I'd Rather have a piece of you Than all or nothing Just be good to me In the morning Just be good to me In the afternoon all evening Just be good to me The time is calling I won't tie you down When you need me I'll be around I'll be good to you We could be together Be together. (Tank fly boss walk jam nitty-gritty, You're listening to the boy from the big bad city, This is jam hot. This is jam hot.)
