Lyrics

Everybody gettin' on my back
Some say, "You just don't know how to act"
"Afrika, you act too wild
Get away from me, you cramp my style"
But lovely lady, can't you see
This is what you do to me?
Got me workin' to the bone
Then you ask why I ain't home
Work all day, and then at night
I come runnin' home to treat you right
Try to spend time with my two children
But this world has got me goin'
Round and round, I just can't stop
On and on, I might just drop
Slippin' and fallin', but that's okay
I do it all for you anyway
Do my best just to please you
And in return, this is what you do?
"U" make me sweat
You make me work
You make my body
Wanna go and do the jerk
"U" make me sweat
You make me work
You make my body
Wanna go and do the jerk
Pretty, little mama, what's yo' kick?
I'd like to know what makes you tick
Off to work, all prettied up
As I watch you, I'm all giddied up
I'd like to know where yo' mind is at
But you say you ain't got no time for that
I try to test you, put on the pressure
Finally got you on the spot, ha
Now I regret every effort I made
You finally gave in, now you want to invade
I can't tell my left from my right
Sweet girl, you got my head feelin' light
Everybody asks, "What's wrong with Mike G?"
Now you tell me you're havin' a baby
Jimmy hat, I blame it on you
It's, it's, it's all because of you
Yeah, yeah-ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ow
Aw shucks
There's not a problem that I can't fix
There's not a problem, there's not a problem that
There's not a problem that I can't fix
There's not a problem, not a problem, not a problem
Remember last year in the summertime? (Yeah)
The rumor went around that you was on mine
Back then, I didn't care 'cause I was after you (Uh)
Thought of all the plans that I had for you (Yeah)
Thinkin' to myself, "Baby Bam, you're set" (Set)
Now you wanna go and play hard to get (What?)
Awe, man, ain't that a shame?
Fall came around, and she forgot my name
Diane, Diane, I don't understand (Oh, Diane)
You're outta this world, you know what, girl?
"U" make me sweat
You make me work, baby doll
You make my body
Wanna go do the jerk
"U" make me sweat, oh
You make me work (Yeah)
You make my body
Wanna go do the jerk (Uh)
"U" make me sweat, baby doll
You make me work (I blame it on you)
You make my body
Wanna go do the jerk (It's all because of you)
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
Gotta let me be
