We Need A Resolution

I'm tired of arguing, girl
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Huh, I'm tired of arguing, girl
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Huh, I'm tired of arguing, girl
Freaky, freaky, freaky, freaky, baby girl, uh

Did you sleep on the wrong side?
I'm catching a bad vibe
And it's contagious, what's the latest?
Speak your heart, don't bite your tongue
Don't get it twisted, don't misuse it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
What's your problem?
Let's resolve it (let's resolve it)
We can solve it, what's the causes?
It's official, you got issues
I got issues (no, you got issues) but I know I miss you

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change? (yeah)
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be shamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Will we remain? Oh ah
We need a resolution, we need a resolution
We need a resolution, we have so much confusion

I wanna know, where were you last night?
I fell asleep on the couch, I thought we were going out
I wanna know, were your fingers broken?
If you had let me know, I wouldn't have put on my clothes
I wanna know, where'd you go instead?
It was four in the morning, when you crept back in the bed
I wanna know, what was in your head?
Or what was in my head? Am I supposed to change?

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? And will we remain?
We need a resolution, we need a resolution
We need a resolution, we have so much confusion

Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? and who should be blamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Who should be ashamed?
Am I supposed to change? Are you supposed to change?
Who should be hurt? Will we remain?
We need a resolution, we need a resolution
We need a resolution, we have so much confusion

Baby let me know, you'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, you'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, you'll let me know (I will)
You'll let me know, you'll let me know (huh)

Girl, holla
You give me bits and pieces
You tryna blame me when I don't even know the reason
I think it's just the season, maybe the month, maybe the b-
Now tell me what's the reason? Stupid, yo? Looks are deceiving
So, cut the crying, cut the coughing, cut the wheezing, girl
Quit the blaming, cut the naming, cut the sneaking, girl
I think you need some prayer, better call a deacon, girl
So, get your act right or else we won't be speaking, girl
So, what's it gonna be? Freaky, freaky, me and you?
Or is it gonna be who blames who?
I'm tired of these things, I'm tired of these scars
I think I'm gonna get me a drink, I'll call you tomorrow

Loose Rap

I'm sick and tired of the loose rap

Uh, now now, yeah
For the '01
I know you can come better
Can come better than that
So you can kill all your loose rap
Baby girl

How many times I tell you don't come to me?
Don't be bringing me all of that jealousy
'Cause you got envy (don't hate me, baby)
Talk smack behind my back
Then when you see me
You try to come up and talk to me (don't talk to me)
Not saying nothing, nothing (nothing)

I know you can come better
Can come better than that (hey)
Don't come here with all that loose rap (loose rap)
You can keep that (keep that)
I know you can come better
Can come better than that (hey)
Don't come here with all that loose rap (loose rap)
You can save that, oh, save that

Too many times you guys would come step to me
I guess you call yourself booking me
Now do I look easy? (It ain't easy)
But it never hurts to try
I just might let you call me (hey)
I hope you don't plan on bugging me
That would be ugly, I

I know you can come better
Can come better than that (than that)
Don't come here with all that loose rap (loose rap)
You can keep that (yeah, yeah)
I know you can come better (yeah)

Don't come here with all that loose rap
You can save that, save that

I know you can come better
Can come better than that
So you can kill all the loose rap
You can quit that, quit that
I know you can come better
Can come better than that
So you can stop all your loose rap
Your loose rap
Yeah, yeah

Too many times I hear you try knocking my crew
Well, we've got something for all the fools
It ain't just rhythm and blues
If you just quit trying to compete, yeah
No telling what you could be
Might even be doper than me (I doubt it)

I know you can come better
Can come better than that
Don't come here with all that loose rap (all that loose rap)
You can keep that (oh, save that)
I know you can come better
Can come better than that
I'm sick and tired of the loose rap
You can save that, save that

I know you can come better
Can come better than that
Don't come here with all that loose rap
You can keep that (oh, keep that)
I know you can come better
Can come better than that (yeah)

You can keep that (yeah)
I know you can come better
Can come better than that

Never No More

I gave it all to you
With no questions asked
I wanted a future
Who cares 'bout the past?
That first argument
You up and left (up and left)
I seen a change in you (change in you)
Words I won't except
I thought I lost you
When you twist back my arm
'Cause the man I thought I knew
Wouldn't do me no harm (no harm)
And that ran through my mind, over again (over again)
I promised myself you wouldn't put your hands on me again
Never no more (hey)

I didn't sleep that night
I held my pillow tight
Now trust me when I say
You have been told
I'm telling you never to touch me no more
Never no more

I should've left you
When you called me out my name (out my name)
I stooped to your level
Replied you the same
Now here we are again (again)
You at my throat
Now I see the same old change (same old change)
That I did before
I walk away from you
At the drop of a dime
Saw that this treatment
Is way out of line
And that ran through my mind, over and over again (over again)
Promised my self you wouldn't put your hands on my again
Never no more (never)

You know I rather give your space
'Cause I just don't know
What to or not to say
Stay out your way or get in your face
I just know you better not touch me again
Or I'll (or I'll) walk away
That is one game I refuse to play

Oh, I didn't sleep that night (at night, yeah)
I held my pillow tight (tight)
Now trust me when I say (say)
You have been told
I'm telling you never to touch me no more
Never no more

Never no more

Read Between The Lines

You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines, lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Late afternoon, the sun's going down
I call on your cell (why's he in such a hurry?)
Leaving the room, he's mumbling too
Now, now lookin' for his shoes (he's leavin' out the room, room)
No explanation, no actual location
Just watching him pacing (wonder who he's stressing, stressing?)
Little conversation, leavin' no debation
He left the door swingin'

You better open your mind
To read between the lines
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines

Nine in the morning, up, up, up way before breakfast
Homeboy gettin' restless
(The room is full of questions)
Little replyin', whole lot of denyin'
You're steady collidin'
(So why do he keep on trying, trying?)
I search for the median, now he's a comedian
That's all the more reason
(He's changing like the seasons, seasons)
Are you still pleasing?
Well, soon you'll be leaving
Which one will be grieving?

You better open your mind
To read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines (yeah, yeah)

Hope you don't think you pullin' one over me
'Cause I, I know what's going on
I hope you ain't been planning on running me
'Cause that, that ain't what I'm on, on
Hope you don't think you pullin' one over me
'Cause you'll look up, and I'll be gone
Hope you ain't making plans on running me
'Cause I read between the lines

Who got you thinkin' you ish ain't been stinkin'?
My temperature's peakin'
(Why is you barely speakin'?)
I'm bustin' his bubble, and he know he in trouble
He's talkin' in doubles
(I'm listening but hardly believing, believing)
Changing the story, or trying to ignore me
Still reaching out for me
(But, still, I'm hardly reaching, reaching)
Give me a reason to put you back on line
You've wasted enough time

I had to open my mind
Got to read between the lines, lines (yeah)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)
You got to read between the lines, lines (oh yeah)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines, yeah)

You got to read between the lines, lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines ('tween the lines)

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Got to read between the lines
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Gotta read between the lines ('tween the lines)
Lies are gettin' told
Look in his eyes (look in his eyes)
You got to read between the lines

Your replies are getting old (getting old)
It's in his eyes (in his eyes)
Gotta read between the lines (yeah)

I Refuse

This is where I've got to draw the line
'Cause I refuse to let you think you can play with my mind
Always seems that you think that I'm blind
'Cause there's always certain times when you're hard to find
You're on the go, I'm on the go
We're on the go, I can't catch you no more
Can't see you no more, and it no longer can be ignored
'Cause at once upon a time it was you I adored
You disappeared and left me here out in the cold
And the absence of you is hurting my soul
I didn't know there was an end of the road
It was so easy for you just to let it all go

And I refuse
I refuse to have one more sleepless night
I refuse
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye
I refuse
I refuse to continue to try
I felt like I would die or I could breakdown and cry
And I refuse
I refuse to let you walk back through that door
I refuse
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore
And I refuse
I refuse to continue to ignore
The fact I fell to the floor, the day you walked out my door

And I refuse
No way I can't take it, baby
And I refuse
No way I can't take it, baby
And I refuse
No way, but I refuse to take it anymore

Remember when I told you I could feel the change (change)
You don't touch me the same (the same), don't hold me the same (the same)
No, I don't want you to take all the blame
'Cause I know I had those moments when I caused the pain
This back and forth just like a war with you and me (with you and me)
See we both disagree, have we ever agreed?
This ain't nothing like I thought it would be
Was it all just a dream? Was it ever in my reach?

And I refuse
I refuse to have one more sleepless night
I refuse
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye
I refuse
I refuse to continue to try
I felt like I would die or I could breakdown and cry
And I refuse
I refuse to let you walk back through that door
I refuse
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore
And I refuse
I refuse to continue to ignore
The fact I fell to the floor, the day you walked out my door

It was your way
Or it was no way (hey)
And I couldn't live that way (no, no, no, oh no)
It was our call (our call)
Then it was your call
'Cause I gave you my all and all (my all and all)

And I refuse
I refuse to have one more sleepless night
I refuse
I refuse to let a tear fall out my eye
And I refuse
I refuse to continue to try (yeah)
I felt like I would die or I could breakdown and cry
And I refuse
I refuse to let you walk back through that door
I refuse
I refuse to let you hurt me anymore
And I refuse
I refuse to continue to ignore
The fact I fell to the floor, the day you walked out my door

No way, I can't take it, baby (no, no)
No way, I can't take it, baby (no)
No way, but I refuse
To take it anymore

No, way I can't take it, baby (oh no, no)
No, way I can't take it, baby (no way)
No way, but I refuse (refuse)
To take it anymore (refuse)

And I refuse (I refuse)
I refuse (I refuse, baby)
And I refuse (oh)

And I refuse
I refuse (said, I refuse)
And I refuse
Said, I refuse to take it anymore

I refuse, yeah yeah
Yeah, refuse
Refuse

It's Whatever

It's whatever
It's whatever, hey
Ooh, whatever

Just like the bird
That whistles in the trees
hid in the leaves
So happily
Well, you're my tree
And through the storms you stood strong for me
Kept me warm as can be (warm as can be)
Like a candy to an apple
Oh, we go together
You're so sweet on me (oh, so sweet)
I can say that I do believe
This is destiny
It keeps calling me

Now it's me and you
and you and me
And it's whatever
Whatever you want it to be
I'm telling you (I'm telling you)
If it's up to me (yeah)
Whatever is whatever
It's whatever with you and me (you and me)

(Whatever's, it's whatever)

Just like a breeze
In the middle of a summer's eve
When you come through
You comfort me (you comfort me)
If I'm a drink
You're my lemon squeeze (oh)
Oh, you got flavor, boy
You go good with me
So, boy, don't play or tease me
Ooh, keep me together
You got what I need
Now it's getting late (getting late)
It's after three (it's after three)
So quit your stallin'
My body's callin'

Now it's me and you (now it's me and you)
It's you and me (you and me)
And it's whatever
Whatever you want it to be (whatever you want it to be)
I'm telling you (I'm telling you)
If it's up to me
Whatever is whatever

I Can Be

Ohhhh no... ohh, oh... mmmm
Oh... ohhhh...

Maybe I'm just wrong for feelin the way I do
Thoughts indecent, want to put those down to you
I know you have a girl, I don't want to tie
When you're free one night just make those hours mine

I can be another woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That would alright, alright, alright

Love just ain't my thang, but half of you might be
Enough for two or more, no her to me and me
Fine like expensive wine, drunk off one glass of you
I think more might be too much, so weekends for me are cool

I can be another woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That would alright, alright, alright

I can be another woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That would alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright, alright....
[repeat until end]

Those Were The Days

We ain't lovers no more
We don't laugh no more
We don't play no more
We don't make up no more
We don't kiss no more
We don't hug no more
You don't please me no more
You don't touch no more
Give me chills no more
We don't go out no more
We don't kick it no more
We don't dance no more

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (ayy)
Those were the days
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (in bed)
You let me have my way (whoa)
Those were the days

If you don't love me no more
Don't come 'round no more
Just don't call no more
Don't come knockin' up at my door
After ten or so
What you knockin' for?
We don't kick it no more
You ain't cute no more
You ain't fly no more
You ain't got it like that no more
See in you close your door
I still remember you

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (yeah)
Those were the days (hey)
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (yeah)
You let me have my way
Those were the days

Those were the days (those were the days)
I said those were the days (I said those were the days)
Those were the days (those were the days)
What's up with this, baby?
'Cause you done changed on me (you done changed)
This ain't the way it used to be, baby, ohh

You don't know me no more
You can't lie no more
Ain't gon' try no more
Won't have to say goodbye no more
You gotta hit the door
Hate to see you go
I ain't the one to mess with no flow
Don't take pictures no more
Don't hold hands no more
Yo, I think this is the end of the road
But I still remember you

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (yeah, yeah)
Those were the days
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (anytime you wanted it)
You let me have my way (yeah, yeah)
Those were the days

Walking through the park
Shooting the breeze
Days
Lounging, lounging in the den, in bed
Days
Those were the days (those were the days)
I said those were the days (I said those were the days)
Those were the days (those were the days)

And lead me off around the corner or maybe to their place
But when they speak, you get mad jumping all up in they face
But on the other hand when women come and speak to you
You kiss and hug 'em like it's something that you let me do
You're only jealous 'cause you know that ish you put me through
I might turn right around and do that ish to you

But instead you're up in my face saying you were at friends
But they all call, asking me where the hell you been

Why they keep treatin' us this way?
hot grits is a new game we play
We'll burn (oh)
We'll cut you (oh)
We'll kill you (oh)
We don't have to take it no more

But I can't let it go, so easily
Not 'til I see, what this could be
Could be eternity, or just a week

It's perfect now, but will it change?
This ain't a yes, this ain't a no
Just do your thang, we'll see how it goes, ohh
