Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now, gotta go 
Gotta get home 
'Cause my baby's boy's on his own 
Better be dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now 
I gots ta get home, 
My baby boy's on his own 

Above the feeling 
This is revealing 
Boy I didn't know you cared 
Mustve been up on the weekend 
In the club freakin' 
Boy I could see you stare 
You were lookin right at me 
Lookin right back 
We knew there was something there 
And I know you knew that if we did do this 
It would be an affair 

'Cause my mans at home 
Lookin at the finger his ring goes on 
He got trust in me 
How'm I gonna live with myself if I cheat 

Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now, gotta go 
Gotta get home 
'Cause my baby's boy's on his own 
Better be dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now 
I gots ta get home, 
My baby boy's on his own

Up on the dancefloor 
Then ya go ask for a night in with me 
But ya know that ain't gon' happen 
I won't get trapped in 
This, see, it just ain't me 
And you can try, seduce me 
But its no use, see 
I'm in love with my baby 
And I won't let you in 
Mess up and move in 
To do that I'd be crazy 

'Cause my mans at home 
Lookin at the finger his ring goes on 
He got trust in me 
How'm I gonna live with myself if I cheat 

Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now, gotta go 
Gotta get home 
'Cause my baby's boy's on his own 
Better be dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb 
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some 
Gotta run now 
I gots ta get home
My baby boy's on his own

There's no way that I'm gon' play 
I don't care what you gon' say 
Even though you make me crazy 
I won't risk losing my baby 
There's no way that I'm gon' play 
I don't care what you gon' say 
Even though you make me crazy 
I won't risk losing my baby
