Yeah, Kelly
You there
Now, listen, baby, I got your message
I’m just confused
I don’t understand everything but
I’m on my way over there to you
Now you stay on the phone
And tell me everything that went down

See I was the one
Who picked her up when so called friends let her down {Uh, huh}
And I was the one
Who took her in when that fool put her out {I know}, yeah

A true friend indeed
You see I was there when chips was goin’ down {You know I know}, mmm
But she betrayed me
Caught him with her comin’ in from out of town {You what}
Tell me why {Ah, s***}

Why-y-y, why-y-y (Yeah)
Why-y-y, why-y-y (I wanna know)
Why-y-y, why-y-y {Why, baby} (Oh, baby)
Why-y-y, why-y-y {I ought get somethin’ goin’ in, ooh}

Now I put my trust in him
I can’t believe he slept with her behind my back {Oh...oh...oh...}
I went out on a limb
I even covered up to keep his thing intact {Yes}, mmm, hmm

What I had in me, yeah
Was somethin’ real that’s so hard to come about, {Oh...oh...}, uh
But he betrayed me
There was a photo in some laundry that I found
Tell me why

Why-y-y {Oh...why}, why-y-y
Why-y-y, why-y-y (Mmm)
Why-y-y, why-y-y (I put all my trust in you, baby)
Why-y-y {Ooh...} (Yeah, yeah), why-y-y (Mmm) {Baby}
Why-y-y, why-y-y

She was my best friend (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Hung with me through thick and thin (My homey, my homey)
Sisters to the very end (And I)
I can’t believe it, can’t believe it, can’t believe it (No, ho, you was everything)

He was everything to me (Everything to me, baby)
Now out the door, he’s history (Oh, now you got to go out)
We could have had everything (And I)
I can’t believe it, can’t believe it, can’t believe it

No, no, no, no, no, no (Mmm, hmm), no, no, no, no
(Why, why, why)
Why (Yeah, yeah, mmm)
(Can’t believe I trusted you)
Kelly, let me call him up
(No, no, no, no)
And just talk to him (Mmm)
(There’s nothing to say )
(Because it’s too late, oh...ooh...)
Oh, I know it, but it’s just the principal about the whole thing, oh...ho...oh...
I’m your Godfather and I can’t stand for nobody to hurt you, baby (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
So just call him up (I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna)
Call him, baby (No...)
Call him, baby, call him right now (I’m callin’, I’m callin’, I’m callin’)
Call him up

{Hello, who is this}
This is Mr. Biggs
{How you doin’ Mr. Biggs}
What the hell is going on
{What you mean what’s goin’ on}
Kelly’s tellin’ me that you’re sleepin’ with another woman
{Just because she sees me with her, doesn’t mean I’m sleeping’ with her}
Well, if you’re not sleepin’ with her, what the hell you doin’ with her
{Damn, I can be just talkin’ to her}
Or you can be just creepin’ with her
Now son, man to man
We both know the game
{Yeah, but what’s that got}
Wait a minute
And you know all about heartache and pain (Why, oh, why)
This is my Goddaughter (I don’t want him no more)
And I’m just trying to protect her heart (Don’t waste your time)
You may have been a moon to her (Mmm)
But to me she’s the star, oh

Kelly, take the phone

She was my best friend
You were my husband, yeah
Oh, but I don’t want you no, no, no more
Said I don’t want you no, no, no, no more
See you shaped and molded me
To be what you wanted me to be
She was a leaf in your life
But I was the root to your tree, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...yeah...yeah...why...
