Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come over here, sweetie
I really wanna talk to you for a few moments, hey
(Lemme put you up on game) Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lemme put you up on game) Oh, oh
Says you gotta tell me something
[Verse 2]
Sure, you're in love again
You never sure he's gonna be the one
'Cause on the first night he didn't try to get the ooh-wee
Just 'cause he kissed you on the cheek and called you baby
It doesn't mean he's running no game
Oh, could you listen for a minute?
You ain't the one who's in it
Yeah, I know I'm getting twisted, I ain't hating
'Cause I've been there and I've done that
I'm just watching you play
[Verse 3]
Lemme put you up on game
Every man is different but the game won't change
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes I made
Lemme put you up on game (Oh)
Players make the players and the players play the game
So before you go and you take his last name
Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game
[Verse 4]
Oh, I understand what you're saying
And I know you tested the waters in your days
And you been through some things
He might just be the one, might get up and summon
There's somethin' bout him so different
Yeah, to know yourself a little better
I'm trying to help you, girl, for what it's worth
'Cause you done been there and done that
But I won't go out like that, no, hey
[Verse 5]
('Cause I'm with us, here again, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Lemme put you up on game
Every man is different but the game won't change (Yeah)
(See, I know this) Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes I made
(I want you to make those same mistakes)
Lemme put you up on game
Players make the players and the players play the game
So before you go and you take his last name
Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game
[Verse 6]
I don't wanna see him hurt you
Oh, don't worry about me, I'll be okay
I done said the same thing before
But that was way back in the day (Way back when and)
Sometimes you think that you know, but you don't
So follow my advice, don't let it happen twice
You gotta look around, hey, hey, yeah (Hey, hey, yeah)
[Verse 7]
Lemme put you up on game
Every man is different but the game won't change
(Woo-oh-ah, yeah, oh)
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes I made
(I won't, I won't, I won't, yeah)
Lemme put you up on game (You will, you will, you will)
(Everything is different but you said the game won't change)
Players make the players and the players play the game
So before you go and you take his last name
Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game
[Verse 8]
I understand what you're saying
No, you don't, I want you to listen to me
I already know all that
(Lemme put you up on game)
You really don't
Listen to the voice of experience
I done been through that time
Now don't be hard headed
Don't be a hard head
You're a sweet girl
Listen to what I am saying to you
I'm listening babe
'Cause you know a hard head woman
Will make a soft rootie-tootie-booty
Okay, now wait
(Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game)
(Ooh, let me tell you what I know)
Alright
Listen, okay, here we go, ooh
[Verse 9]
Lemme put you up on game (Every man is different)
Every man is different but the game won't change
(Yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes I made (He's my everythin')
Lemme put you up on game
(You are powerful out there)
Players make the players and the players play the game
So before you go and you take his last name
Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game
(Every man is different but the game stays the same)
Lemme put you up on game
(I know, I know, I know)
Every man is different but the game won't change
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes I made
(I won't make the same mistakes you made)
(Ooh)
Lemme put you up on game
(Ah)
Players make the players and the players play the game
Ooh, take his last name
