Six minutes, six minutes 
Six minutes, six minutes

I know why you're here 
I ain't sayin' nothin'

Hey yo, baby, I know why you're here 
I know what you're doing
I can see it in your eyes, you're up to somethin'
I know what it is, but we're still cool 
And we can socialize, I'm peepin' ya, baby
I'm holdin' back, I'm not lettin' go
Cause a fool doesn't have a shoulder to cry on 
So give me a kiss and your service
Whether you like a mister or a miss 

[Chorus]
Hey yo, baby, I know you don't love me 
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'
Hey yo, baby, I know you don't love me 
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'
Hey yo, baby, I know you don't love me 
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'
Hey yo, baby, I know you don't love me 
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'

Baby, you're my dear, I know why you're here
I know why you came, I know what you're thinkin' 
I know what you need, and that's what I've got 
You think I'm goin' crazy, no, I'm not drinking
I know what you want, I made ya want it 
Take my hand, listen to the man
You have a plan, don't even risk it 
What do you want, a biscuit?

[Chorus]

Six minutes, six minutes
Six minutes, six minutes
(I ain't sayin' nothin')
Six minutes, six minutes

Honey, I know what you're up to, I know how you're livin'
I know where you go when you leave my house
I know what your dreams are, but I dream too
You're with a man your, not with a mouse 
I see how you stare, I see how you smile 
I see right through, now act like you knew 
I know all about where you been runnin'
Wipe your feet before you come in 

[Chorus]

Yeah, that's smooth, let's just sit here and relax 
While my man plays the piano for us 
Sip somethin' mellow
And it's us while you're here 
But of course I ain't sayin' nothin'

Okay, now that you know I know you know that I know you know
And that's the move, so sit right here
Whisper in my ear, caress my chest
And say somethin' smooth, but don't forget
I'll know what you'll say
Just what I thought, I know the routine 
I know the routine, just what I thought
I know you tell the truth, I know you don't lie
Shh, close your eyes

[Chorus]

I won't tell if you won't tell
It's cool with me, I know why you're here 
I ain't sayin' nothin' 
I ain't sayin' nothin'
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'

I know why you're here
I ain't sayin' nothin'

I know you don't love me 
I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'

I know why you're here
But I ain't sayin' nothin'

I know you don't love me
But I ain't sayin' nothin'
(I know why you're here)
I ain't sayin'
