Real Love? ... I don't know about that (I don't know about that)
Now I know I named this album
Called The Answers (these are the answers)
& I would really like to help you
But this all I can do for you aight? (I'll help you best I can)
You say that you love me, but I don't know about that
You say that you need me (yeah), but I don't know about that
You can't live without me (yeah), but I don't know about that
I tell you what baby (what), let's talk about that
Been in relationships before (mmHmm) & they started out fine
After time went by ... Yo, I find out she's not mine
& All she did was ... just waste my time
Made it take even longer (for what?) ... for me to find my dime
Now I ain't talking bout sizes, that's just a state of mind
My dimes the one (mmph)... that's just my kind
We get mad at each other & fight (un), but she'll always be mine
When I leave for an hour or two,
She says baby you been gone a long time
She say I hate it when we argue, all we doing is wasting time
We both tired & settled down ... so it's make up time
She's fresh out the shower, her damn body makes her shine
Then I say to myself ... MMM!!! Damn I'm glad she's mine
She got candles & incense burning,
To keep love alive it takes learning
If you sex another you'll be turning,
It'll kill the love instead of yearning
Involve another just to be hurting, I definitely know that for certain
You gotta work on anything (yeah), to keep that thing on working
We gotta be mechanics & what (yeah), give you lil' girl a tune up
When she do a good job (un), give her a lil' slap on her butt
Say baby that's what's up, you got what I need to keep me up
You the queen of my hill (yeah) & I tell you what
Instead of watching a silly sitcom, let's be calm & sit down
You see about her love come down, you still want them around
You dont wanna see her with nobody else,
You already thinking it so just be yourself
Ask yourself do you really wanna
Start over ... sh*t with somebody else?
You think you know the answer, just tell it to yourself
Lay back from the trap,
Take a lil' nap, lay down right now in your girl's lap
If you just a working person, don't forget about that special person
Don't matter where you from, the city,
Don't matter where you from, the country
Everybody needs to find real love,
I don't know, but that's what they tell me
A natural high that you dont need a prescription
If you don't love 'em after what I mention
You done sexed somebody else (yep) &
That's why your love is missing (missing)
Listen (listen)
Now I'm a talk to you a lil' minute man ...
You know what I'm saying? ...
Y'all listen close to this here ...
Aight, I'm just gon talk to you ...
About this Real Love situation, aight? ...
You know uh, I ain't got that (shhh) ...
All that stuff I was talking about, I don't have that (yeah) ...
My girl say that ain't true (that ain't true ... Un) ...
& If you got that, I can't tell you what you should do ...
You might need to work at that ...
That's what you should do (yeah) ...
But you see, I lost everything including my cat (meow) ...
& Somebody who said they love me ...
Did me like that (did me like that ... unhuh) ...
So I guess it was never mine ...
Cause what's yours is yours all the time (that's right) ...
& I feel like real love, you know, it always shine ...
& Alot of women lose their love from
Advice from a girlfriend alot of times ...
What's wrong with you girl? You got no mind? (thank you) ...
They don't know that your situation's
Just bits & pieces (that's right) ...
They really got their own problems,
So that's how they treat it (mmph) ...
No matter where you go, there you are ...
You can't escape from yourself, when you the star (mmHmm) ...
You on your own stage ...
Yeah, you can turn the page ...
But when you look, you still in the same book (that's right)
& You close that chapter & start a new (book of life baby) ...
Then you find yourself comparing them
To what your last would do (mmHmm) ...
That's who you love & ain't nothing you can do ...
If it ain't God's will,
Forever that's what you gon' do too (that's right) ...
So we're not in control of this world, we just live in it ...
The only thing you can control, is who's in it ...
Your household, relationship, you know what I'm saying (right) ...
You know, an old lover, that you threw in the trash? ...
& It was something you had (unhuh) ...
Was just like throwing anything away,
That use to be yours (what's that) ...
One day, (one day) ...
One day (ha, ha, ha), you'll say ... man, I should've kept that ...
& That's what it is (you know what I'm saying?) ...
One man's trash, is another man's treasure ...
Might of gave you hard times,
Gives the next man pleasure (okay, you know what I'm saying) ...
& Uh, what you had,
Could be so much better, but you won't know that (Wooo) ...
& That's what real love is, real love dont love nobody (unhuh) ...
Now You on your own
