How You Gonna Tell Me Video (MV)

See, every time me and my man get into a fight
This girl is giving her advice
She wanna say he ain't no good and she think I should
Get another man in my life
But I don't see how she gon' tell me
What she think a man should or should not be
'Cause her love life ain't right, she needs to get it tight
Before she be steppin' to me

Now come on, if you've been divorced more than twice
And you wanna give advice 'bout my love life, oh no
You can just forget that, I don't need that
So you can just go ahead and keep that
And if you always lookin' a mess
But yet you wanna tell me how to dress, oh no
I don't wanna hear that, I won't take that
So you can just go ahead and save that
