DarkChild ‘99

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Why the sudden change

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Better say my name

Any other day, I would call, you would say
“Baby, how’s your day”, but today it ain’t the same
Every other word is, “Uh-huh, yeah, okay”
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady

If you took it there, first of all let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me if I’m the girl that you claim
Why don’t you say the things that you said to me yesterday

I know you say that I am assumin’ things
Something’s goin’ down, that’s the way it seems
Shouldn’t be no reason why you’re actin’ strange
If nobody’s holding you back from me

‘Cause I know how you usually do
When you’re sayin’ everything to me times two
Why can’t you just tell the truth
If somebody’s there, then tell me who

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Why the sudden change

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Better say my name

What is up with this, tell the truth, who you with
How would you like it if I came over with my clique
Don’t try to change it now, say you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago, said you just got in the house

It’s hard to believe that you are at home by yourself
When I just heard the voice, heard the voice of someone else
Just this question, why do you feel you gotta lie
Gettin’ caught up in your game when you cannot say my name

I know you say that I am assumin’ things
Something’s goin’ down, that’s the way it seems
Shouldn’t be no reason why you’re actin’ strange
If nobody’s holding you back from me

‘Cause I know how you usually do
When you’re sayin’ everything to me times two
Why can’t you just tell the truth
If somebody’s there, then tell me who

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Why the sudden change

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Better say my name

(Where my ladies at) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Can you say that, come on) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(All the girls say) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(What, I can’t hear you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(All my ladies say) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(All the girls say) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Break it down)
Oh...ooh...oh...oh...
(Uh-uh-uh, D.C., take it to the bridge, come on)

I know you say that I am assumin’ things
Something’s goin’ down, that’s the way it seems
Shouldn’t be no reason why you’re actin’ strange
If nobody’s holding you back from me

‘Cause I know how you usually do
When you’re sayin’ everything to me times two
Why can’t you just tell the truth
If somebody’s there, then tell me who

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Why the sudden change

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Better say my name

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Why the sudden change

Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t runnin’ game

Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady
Ain’t callin’ me, “Baby”
Better say my name
