Things that make you go hmm...
Things that make you go hmm...

I was at the crib, sittin’ by the fireplace
Drinkin’ cocoa on the bear skin rug
The door bell rang, who could it be
Thought to myself, then started to shrug
Got to the door, ding-dong, who is it
My girl’s best friend had paid me a visit
Sly as can be, tight dress and all
She knew that I was faithful, I really didn’t have the gall
I tried to chill, she made the move
Now I know my girlfriend wouldn’t approve
I didn’t realize my girl was settin’ me up
Yo’, my girlfriend didn’t trust me, no
Yeah, but she lost control when I wouldn’t take the bait
I said chill, baby-baby, chill, baby-baby, wait
My girl bust in caught us creatin’ a boom
She said, “Girlfriend”

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
Things that make you go hmm...hey
Things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm... (Hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...uh...uh...

Here’s how it started
Just an example of how another brother can trample
Ruin your life, sleep with your wife
Watch your behind
There was a friend of mine named Jay
Who would come over late at night and say, “Hey”
Or watch a fight, I thought it is was alright
‘Cause me and Jay we were really, really tight
So damned close we had the same blood type
Months went by and my wife got big
We were havin’ a child and I got another gig
So I let Jay move in the crib and chill
He had his own room and helped pay the bills
The time had come for the baby girl to conceive
It looked like Jay and I couldn’t believe
Before my eyes in the delivery room

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
Things that make you go huh...uh...uh...uh...
Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...

Robbie Rob, break it down

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me

17 and I was havin’ a ball
11th grade and yo’ I knew it all
I fell in love for the very first time
With this girl, she really blew my mind
Inner sense and whole lotta class
Style that could give you whiplash
We said hello and my heart beat stopped
She was the world and I was on top
Time went by, she fulfilled my universe
We made love, she said I was the first
My boy kept tellin’ me, “Yo’, I don’t know
I think your girl’s been playing Tic Tac Toe”
I’ll ask my girl I know she only loves me
Wasn’t I the one who took your virginity
The look on her face read sorrow and gloom
She said, “Yeah, why you guys always ask me that?”

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...
Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...

Hey, ladies, have you ever had a man
Go away for business, come back with a tan
Comes home late at night from work
You cooked him dinner, now you feel like a jerk
Sayin’ he didn’t have time to eat
And he’s not even hungry, he wants to be treat
To the bedroom he said his head hurts
You’re only makin’ love in radical spurts
Mysterious calls and the phone goes click
You say to yourself, “I’m gonna hit him with a brick
Ain’t no way he could be cheatin’ on me
I wonder who bought him those BVDs
Dressed to a T to hang with the fellas
Over the guys and I’m getting jealous
Comin’ home late smellin’ like perfume”

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...uh...uh...
Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...uh...uh...uh...

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...
Things that make you go hmm... (Hmm...)
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...

Things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...
Things that make you go hmm...
It’s the things that make you go hmm...hmm... (Things that make you go)

Things that make you go hmm...
It’s the things that make you go hmm...
Things that make you go hmm...
It’s the things that make you go hmm...

Things that make you go hmm... (Things that make you go hmm...)
