You can’t fool me, girl
I know you well
What’s on your mind
It ain’t hard to tell

Don’t leave me now
Don’t play with me
Do you think I’m blind
But baby, I can see

I saw your eyes
From across the room
You were checkin’ me out
And I was scopin’ you too

Don’t say I’m wrong
Don’t bat those eyes
I’mma call your bluff
So baby, tell me why

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Could you have told me, girl
Is what I said
You can tell the truth
I’m all in your head, there

And what’s wrong with that
Are you ashamed of me
Uh, you could fool your girls
But you can’t fool G

I saw your eyes
From across the room
You were checkin’ me out
I was scopin’ you too

Ho, I’ll turn and walk away
If you deny
But before I go
Could you tell me why, baby, yeah

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
(Baby, can you keep it real)
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time} (Oh)
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves} (Oh, yeah)
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
(Can you keep it real)
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Baby, baby, baby, baby
What’s your name, what’s your name
How ‘bout you, how ‘bout you
Come play our game, come play our game
It’s me and Ginuwine, it’s me and Ginuwine
A new day and time, a new day and time
Come on, baby, come on, baby
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel} (Tell me, girl)
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
{Let me know, let me know}

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves} (Oh, tell me)
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
(Baby, can you keep it real)
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
I gotta know, baby, let me know

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel} (Can you keep it real)
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
(Tell me what is on your mind)
Tell me what is on your mind, hey...oh...yeah

Tell me why you’re standing here {Tell me am I gettin’ on your nerves}
Baby, can you keep it real {Why don’t you tell me how you feel}
Tell me what is on your mind {Tell me am I wastin’ my time}
