Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So soft and slow
Never knew a girl could be so Goddamn cold
I know the way she move got me spending my dough
And yo, if you would've seen what I seen on that pole
Just know
[Verse 2]
That I was wrong for falling in love
I was wrong for fallin' in love
They always said don't love a ho
Said, I was wrong for falling in love
Don't do it yo
I was wrong for falling in love
They always said don't love a ho
But I just went against the grain
[Verse 3]
It was a feeling I can't explain
And it felt like harmony
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
[Verse 4]
I don't want it to ever go away
I want it around me everyday
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
[Verse 5]
Look at me, I'm stuck
That bubble in my pants got me caught up
I never had no luck
Thinking with the wrong head got me jumping out there
With no glove
It feels so good had me sprung out all messed up
Now I'm stuck
[Verse 6]
That's what I get for falling in love
That I was wrong for falling in love
They always said don't love a ho
That's what I get for falling in love
Don't do it, yo
That's what I get for falling in love
They always said don't love a ho
[Verse 7]
But I just went against the grain
It was a feeling I can't explain
And it felt like harmony
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
I don't want it to ever go away
I want it around me everyday
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
[Verse 8]
So thick, so raw
That oil all over her body stole my heart
I'm caught
The way she drop down won't allow me to close my drawls
'Cause I'm already in love and I knew better from the start
Oh no
[Verse 9]
I was wrong for falling in love
I was wrong for falling in love
They always said don't love a ho
I was wrong for falling in love
Don't do it, yo
I was wrong for falling in love
They always said don't love a ho
But I just went against the grain
[Verse 10]
It was a feeling I can't explain
And it felt like harmony
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
I don't want it to ever go away
I want it around me everyday
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
[Verse 11]
It was a feeling I can't explain
And it felt like harmony
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
I don't want it to ever go away
I want it 'round me everyday
Singing in my face
Like diddy, doddy, doo dah day
