How Can You Be Down Lyrics - Babyface

1 Called me up on a Friday night

2 When she knew you'd be out with ya girls

3 Said she always thought that I was fly

4 Me an' her should maybe take a twirl

5 I told her, "Girl, no, no, no"

6 But she still came knockin' at my door

7 I told her to go, go home

8 But that made her even want me more

9 An' now she's busy tryin' to signify

10 That there was somethin' goin' on between her an' I

11 Well, that's the kinda shit that I won't dignify

12 With a answer, come on

13 How can you be down? She ain't down for you

14 Don't be so naive, she's playin' you

15 Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool

16 Tried to take your man, now she's takin' you

17 You need to say, "No, no, no

18 Momma didn't raise no fool"

19 You need to let her know, know, know

20 There'll be no more runnin' games on you

21 Dropped by the crib early Tuesday night

22 'Cause she knew you'd be away at school

23 Tried to seduce me with all kinda lies

24 Tried to make me think the worst of you

25 I told her, "Girl, no, no, no"

26 She dropped down an' tried to give it a kiss

27 I told the bitch, "Go, go home"

28 Then she said, "You gon' be sorry for this"

29 An' now she's out there tryin' to testify

30 That there is somethin' goin' on between her an' I

31 Well, that's the kinda shit that I won't let get by

32 Don't she know that I'm grown

33 How can you be down? She ain't down for you

34 Don't be so naive, she's playin' you

35 Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool

36 Tried to take your man, now she's takin' you

37 You need to say, "No, no, no

38 Momma didn't raise no fool"

39 You need to let her know, know, know

40 There'll be no more runnin' games on you

41 Sometimes your friends ain't what they seem

42 Want all your hopes an' all your dreams

43 An' they will do just 'bout, shit, anything

44 Whatever it's gonna take to bring you down sea

45 Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile

46 Knife in your back, all with a smile

47 Don't be surprised when they clean out your house

48 Better not bring no stray dogs home

49 How can you be down? She ain't down for you

50 Don't be so naive, she's playin' you

51 Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool

52 Tried to take your man, now she's takin' you

53 You need to say, "No, no, no

54 Momma didn't raise no fool"

55 You need to let her know, know, know

56 There'll be no more runnin' games on you

57 How can you be down? She ain't down for you

58 Don't be so naive, she's playin' you

59 Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool

60 Tried to take your man, now she's takin' you

61 You need to say, "No, no, no

62 Momma didn't raise no fool"

63 You need to let her know, know, know

64 There'll be no more runnin' games on you

65 How can you be down? She ain't down for you

66 Don't be so naive, she's playin' you

67 Why is she around? Girlfriend, just ain't cool

68 Tried to take your man, now she's takin' you

69 You need to say, "No, no, no

70 Momma didn't raise no fool"
