Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...

Why you got an attitude (Mmm...)
Why you acting all foolish
When you see me out in the street, boy (Ooh...ooh...)
You wanna embarrass me, call me names, slap my face until

Until you see my friends come (Ooh...ooh...)
Then you wanna try to console me, oh
But they already know, boy (They already know, boy)
‘Cause for the last week I’ve been in the house and I’ve cried and cried

I can’t go for that (Oh...), no, no
No can do
I can’t go for that, no, no (Oh...)
No can do

I can’t go for that, no, no (Ooh...)
No can do
I can’t go for that (No), can’t go for that (No)
Can’t go for that (No-no-no)

Boy, you bring me flowers (Mmm...)
You say you got it together
Soon as I let my guard down (Mmm...mmm...mmm...)
Oh...there you go again in my grill till I call the cops then

Then you want to chill out and say (Mmm...mmm...)
I’m the one who’s buggin’ (Ooh...ooh...ooh...)
But no-no, it’s true, you see (Ooh...ooh...ooh...)
Every time I go out , you come grabbing all over me

I can’t go for that, no, no (I can’t)
No can do
I can’t go for that, no, no (No-no-no-no-no-no)
No can do

I can’t go for that, no, no (I can’t go for that)
No can do
I can’t go for that, can’t go for that (I can’t go for that)
Can’t go for that

Why you trippin’
Get your hands off me (Get ‘em off me, yeah)
Why you illin’ (Ooh)
I’m supposed to be your Nubian queen
(I’m supposed to be your Nubian, oh, baby, your Nubian, oh, oh, oh)

Why you trippin’ (Oh...)
Get your hands off me (Oh, yeah)
Why you illin’ (Why-why-why)
I’m supposed to be your Nubian queen
(I’m supposed to be your Nubian queen, oh...)

I can’t go for that, no, no (I can’t go)
No can do
I can’t go for that, no, no (I can’t go for that)
No can do

I can’t go for that, no, no (I can’t go for that)
No can do
I can’t go for that, can’t go for that (Whoa, whoa...)
Can’t go for that (Whoa, whoa)

I can’t go for that, no, no (Puttin’ your hands on me)
No can do
I can’t go for that, no, no (Always trying to disrespect me)
No can do

I can’t go for that, no, no (No-no)
No can do (No-no-no...)
I can’t go for that, can’t go for that
Can’t go for that

Yeah, yeah
I can’t go for that
