Lyrics

Mase and Brian McKnight

Bad Boy we don't stop

Yo

I hit you with the sound that the world can't take

Came straight out the gate playing 2.8

Real studded jewel funded

Got to love it

First rap cat with the R&B budget

Every day on the TV me and PD

Girl's so pretty, make their man break the CD

Why y'all forever rowdy

I be out here somewhere in Maui

'Till I go back to Cali

Can't understand how he can treat you

The way that he does

Give me the chance to show you baby

You're better off with me

(Oh, so will you let me try)

(I wanna make you smile)

I wanna love you like you need to be loved

(I wont ever let you down)

(I'll always be around)

And you should be mine

(If he don't love you right, no)

Don't waste your time

(Don't waste your time) Don't baby

(If he don't treat you like he should)

No baby (Then you should be mine)

You should be mine, oh, yeah

Why can't you see

You should be happy?

And I don't know why

You don't believe a man can love you

For the rest of your life

(So baby let me try)

(I wanna make you smile)

I wanna love you like you need to be loved

(I'll never let you down)

(I'll always be around)

And you should be mine

(If he don't love you right, no)

(Don't waste your time)

(Don't waste your time) oh-oh

(If he don't treat you like he should)

(Then you should be mine)

You should be mine, oh, oh-oh-oh

Yo!

What the deal honey

Insecure feel funny

I know you're used to dealin' with cats with real money

Plus I know you're like Mase in a lot of ways

But it's hard to go on when you're lonely in the holidays

When you shoppin' you should shop for two, uh

Take you where the water's aqua blue

Let you fall back, treat you like you all that

Under umbrellas with your shades and your straw hat

You ain't the one out clubbing all day and all night

Just to save a fight, or say he's right

And I know he ain't the cat that'll stay in your life

Even though he gave you ice that don't make him your wife

How a man deserve you if he hurt you

Then he give a woman twenty-five a curfew

Between me and you, you ain't heard that from me

'Cause Mase ain't the player with the PhD

Girl come into my world

I'll love you the way that you need to be loved

No worries, no more

Girl open the door

And don't waste your time

'Cause you should be mine

(If he don't love you right, no)

Don't waste your time

(Don't waste your time)

(If he don't treat you like he should) Ooh

(Then you should be mine, you could be mine, baby baby)

(If he don't love you right, no) Ooh baby

Don't waste your time, don't waste your time, no

(If he don't treat you like he should) Oh-oh

Then you should be mine

Oh-oh-oh (If he don't love you right, no) Ooh, oh-oh

(Don't waste your time) Don't, don't waste your time

(If he don't treat you like he should) Oh

(Then should be mine) You should be mine, oh

Oh, oh
