Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, Kelly, you there
Now listen, baby
I got your message
I'm just confused
I don't understand everything, but
I'm on my way over there to you
Now you stay on the phone and tell me everything that went down
[Verse 2]
See, I was the one
Who picked her up when so-called friends let her down
(Uh-huh)
And I was the one
Who took her in when that fool put her out, yeah
(I know)
[Verse 3]
A true friend indeed
You see, I was there when chips was going down
(You know I know)
But she betrayed me
Caught him with her coming in from out of town
(You what)
[Verse 4]
Tell me why (Why)
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
(Aw, shit)
Yeah
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
[Verse 5]
I wanna know (Why, baby)
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
Oh, baby
(All the good time gonna end)
[Verse 6]
Now, I put my trust in him
I can't believe he slept with her behind my back (Oh)
I went out on a limb
I even covered up to keep his thing intact (Yes)
[Verse 7]
What I had in me, yeah
Was something real that's so hard to come about (Oh-oh)
But he betrayed me
There was a photo in some laundry that I found
[Verse 8]
Tell me why (Oh, why)
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-oh
[Verse 9]
I put all my trust in you, baby (Ooh, why)
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah-yeah
Why-yeah-yeah, why-yeah, it was love
[Verse 10]
She was my best friend
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
Hung with me through thick and thin
(My homie, my homie)
Sisters till the very end
(And I)
I can't believe it, can't believe it, can't believe it
[Verse 11]
He was everything to me
(Everything to me, baby)
Now out the door, he's history
(Oh, now you gotta go on)
We could've had everything
(And I)
I can't believe it, can't believe it, can't believe it
[Verse 12]
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Why, why, why
(Why)
Yeah, yeah, mmm
Can't believe I trusted you
[Verse 13]
Kelly, let me call him up
No, no, no, no, no
And just talk to him
There's nothing to say
Because it's too late, oh
[Verse 14]
Oh, I know it but it's just a principle
About the whole thing, oh
I'm your godfather
And I can't stand for nobody to hurt you, baby
[Verse 15]
So just call him up
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Call him, baby
Call him right now
Calling, I'm calling I'm calling
Call him
[Verse 16]
(Who is this)
This is Mr. B
How you doing Mr. B
What the hell is going on
What you mean, what's going on
Kelly's telling me that you're sleeping with another woman
Just because she sees me with her doesn't mean I'm sleeping with her
We'll if you're not sleeping with her, what the hell you doing with her
Damn, I can be just talking to her
Or you can be just creeping with her
[Verse 17]
Now, son, man to man
We both know the game
Yeah, but what's that got to
Wait a minute
And you know
All about heartache and pain
[Verse 18]
This is my goddaughter
And I'm just trying to protect her heart
(Don't waste your time)
You may have been a moon to her
But to me, she's the star, whoa
[Verse 19]
Kelly, take this phone
She was my best friend
You were my husband
Oh, but I don't want you no, no, no more
Said, I don't want you no, no, no, no more
[Verse 20]
See, you shaped and molded me
Be what you wanted me to be
She was a leaf in your life
But I was the root to your tree, oh
