[Chorus]
Say my name, say my name 
If no one is around you 
Say baby I love you 
If you ain't runnin' game 
Say my name, say my name 
You actin' kinda shady 
Ain't callin' me baby 
Why the sudden change? 

Say my name, say my name 
If no one is around you 
Say baby I love you 
If you ain't runnin' game 
Say my name, say my name 
You actin' kinda shady 
Ain't callin' me baby 
Better say my name! 

Any other day I would call 
You would say 
"baby how's your day ?" 
But today it ain't the same 
Every other word is 
Uh Huh, Yea Okay, 
Could it be that you, 
Are at the crib with anotha' lady? 
If you took it there first if all 
Let me say, I am not the one 
To sit around and be played 
So prove your self to me, 
Or the girl that you claim 
Why don't you say the thangs 
That you said to me yesterday? 

I know you say that I am assuming things 
Something's going down that's the way it seems 
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange 
If nobody's holding you back from me 
Cause I know how you usually do 
When you say everything to me times two 
Why can't you just tell the truth? 
If somebody's there then tell me who 

[Chorus]

What is up with this? 
Tell the truth, 
Who you with ? 
How would you like it if 
I came over with my clique 
Don't try to change it now 
See you gotta bounce 
When two seconds ago 
You said you just got in the house. 
It's hard to believe that you, 
Are at home, by yourself 
When I just heard the voice 
Heard the voice of someone else. 
Just this question 
Why do you feel you gotta lie? 
Gettin' caught up in your game 
When you can not say my name 

I know you say that I am assuming things 
Something's going down that's the way it seems 
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange 
If nobody's holding you back from me 
Cause I know how you usually do 
When you say everything to me times two 
Why can't you just tell the truth? 
If somebody's there then tell me who 

[Chorus]

(where my ladies at) 
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yea..yeah 
(can you say that? see'mon) 
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah 
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah 
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (repeat) 
(break it down) 
Ooh you oh you ooh you ooh
(yea yea yea) 
(dc take it to the bridge see'mon) 

I know you say that I am assuming things 
Something's going down that's the way it seems 
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange 
If nobody's holding you back from me 
Cause I know how you usually do 
When you say everything to me times two 
Why can't you just tell the truth? 
If somebody's there then tell me who 

[Chorus: x2]
