Fellas, I wanna tell y'all a story About when my girl came home mad as hell (ooh) She said, "Omar, sit down, I wanna talk to you about something" I sat down, and she went on to say something like this Then she said Just the other day, I was out getting my hair done (okay) Then in came a woman, she started talking to me (mm-hmm) About who's doing good and who's doing bad (Yeah, that's what they do, that's what they do) What they got and what they had Then I finally realized she was talking about me (hmm) Now how in the hell did this get out? (And I said I don't know, I ain't said nothing) What's going on inside my house? Somebody's been talking, and it sure wasn't me (Oh fellas, this is what else she said) oh She said The beauty shop is putting our business all in the street (Somebody's been talking) Talkin' 'bout us (talkin' 'bout us), talkin' 'bout you (talkin' 'bout you) Talkin' 'bout me (but I know, I ain't said nothing to nobody) The beauty shop is putting Our business all in the street (knew too much of my business) Talkin' 'bout us (talkin' 'bout us), talkin' 'bout you (talkin' 'bout you) Talkin' 'bout me Now fellas, let me tell you what else she went on to say (now listen) She said Now she didn't know who I was (who I was) And I sure wasn't going to tell (mm) (She said) I wanted to see (I wanted to see) How much did she know (how much did she know) She knew we wasn't speaking (anybody could have told her) And how I caught you cheatin' (now wait a minute) (You didn't catch me doin' nothin') She even knew (she even knew) You've been sleeping on the couch (Now see, that sounds like something your mama would've said) I'm just listening, and I've got all kinds of patience (okay) But how in the hell did she get this information?
