How Can U Be Down Lyrics[Scatting intro]

[Verse 1]
Called me up on a Friday night
When she knew that you'd be out with your girls
Said she always thought that I was fly
Me and her should maybe take a twirl
I told the girl no, no no
But she still came knocking at my door
I told her to go go home
But that made her even want me more
[Pre-Chorus]
And now she's busy trying to signify
That there was something going on between her and I
Well, that's the kinda shit that I won't dignify
With an answer, come on, how can you...

[Chorus]
How can you be down?
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive, she's playing you
Why is she around?
Girlfriend, just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's taking you
You need to say no no no
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you

[scatting]

[Verse 2]
Dropped by the crib early Tuesday night
'Cause she knew that you'd be away at school
Tried to seduce me with all kinda lies
Tried to make me think the worst of you
I told the girl, "No no no"
She dropped down and tried to give it a kiss
I told the B to go go home
Then she said "You gon' be sorry for this"
[Pre-Chorus]
And now she's out there trying to testify
That there was something going on between her and I
That's the kinda shit that I won't let get by
Don't she know that I'm grown, how can you...

[Chorus]
How can you be down?
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive, she's playing you
Why is she around?
Girlfriend, just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's taking you
You need to say "No no no"
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you

[Bridge]
Sometime your friends ain't what they seem
Want all your hopes and dreams
And they will do just 'bout, sh*t, anything
Whatever it's gonna take to bring you down, see
Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile
Knife in your back all with a smile
Don't be surprised when they clean out your house
Better not bring no stray dogs home
[Chorus]
How can you be down?
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive, she's playing you
Why is she around?
Girlfriend, just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's taking you
You need to say no no no
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you

How can you be down?
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive, she's playing you
Why is she around?
Girlfriend, just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's taking you
You need to say no no no
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you

How can you be down?
She ain't down for you
Don't be so naive, she's playing you
Why is she around?
Girlfriend, just ain't cool
Tried to take your man
Now she's taking you
You need to say no no no
Momma didn't raise no fool
You need to let her know know know
There'll be no more running games on you
