Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who knows where your love goes
When he closed the door
We have understanding
And that means much more
[Verse 2]
But I don't have to worry where he goes
'Cause I know that he'll be coming home
[Verse 3]
You better give up
Or you'll never win
You better give up holding onto him
Can't you see
Oh no you're just
[Verse 4]
Dreamin', dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin'
While he's dreamin' of me
You're just dreamin'
Dreamin' of the love you wish you had
[Verse 5]
I see that look in your eyes
When he walks by
But I know you wanna touch him
Honey, don't you try
'Cause you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell
You'd make out better tryin' to unring a bell
[Verse 6]
You better give up
Give up, girl you never will
You better give up holding on to him
Can't you see
Oh girl, you just
[Verse 7]
Dreamin', dreamin' of him
You're just dreamin'
While he's dreamin' of me
Dreamin', dreamin' of the love you wish you had
[Verse 8]
Oh nothing comes close to him and me
Dreamin'
While he's dreamin' of me
You're dreamin'
(Dreamin' of the love you wish you had)
Wish you had
(Dreamin') girl he's dreamin' of me
Dreamin' all the time he's dreamin' of me
Dreamin'
(Dreamin' of the love you wish you had)
Wish you had
Oh give up give up girl, you'll never win
You see I belong to him, can't you see?
[Verse 9]
You're just dreamin'
(Dreamin' of the love you wish you had)
Wish you had
You know you're dreamin' of him
All the time he's dreamin' of me
You're dreamin'
(Dreamin' of the love you wish you had)
Not gonna get it
I can't see you with him
Oh oh oh
[Verse 10]
I know you want my thing
You see that?
You see, I know I got a good thing
Yes I do
You see, girls, this man
Is not like other men
And the reason I say this
Is because I know every lady out there today feel the same thing
Every lady feel that her man is special
He's special to her
No matter how he looks, baby
It's the inside that counts
It's what's up front that counts
I'm gonna tell it to you anyway
You see girls, let me ask you something
Have you ever had any so-called best girlfriends
You know them kind
Laugh in your face and try to take your man behind your back
You know what I'm talkin' about
You know where I'm comin' from
But let me tell you something
Let me tell you something
I don't play around with girls like that
You know, I don't really like to socialize with them
Because I feel like this
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
You see, I don't want nothin' that's yours
I don't want nothin' that looks at you
You see, I know I got my man
Honey, I know I got him
I got every little portion
I got, I got him from his, from his head to the tip of his toes
Oh y'all don't know what I got
I know what I got
But let me tell you this
You see, when you got somebody that loves you
You know they love you
You can stand up here like me
And tell the whole wide world (Tell the whole wide world)
That I got my man (That I got my man)
That I got my man (That I got my man)
That I got my man (That I got my man)
That I got my man (That I got my man)
I know I got him I, woo!
[Verse 11]
I can stand up and tell everybody I got him
I got him
I can stand up and tell everybody I got him
I can stand up and tell everybody I got him
Oh, all the girls say
I got him
Oh, let me hear ya
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
Oh, ain't gonna let you take him
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
(Stand up and tell everybody I got him)
