Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, baby I love you
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You're acting kind of shady
Ain't calling me baby
Better say my
[Verse 2]
Any other day, I would call
You would say, baby how's your day?
But today it ain't the same
Every other word is a, huh, yeah, okay
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady?
[Verse 3]
If you took it there
First of all, let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me
I'm the boy that you claim
Why don't you say the things
That you said to me yesterday?
[Verse 4]
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down, it's the way it seems
Should have been a reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
You're saying everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
[Verse 5]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, baby I love you
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You're acting kind of shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
[Verse 6]
What is up with this?
Tell the truth, who you with?
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique?
Don't try and change it now
See you've gotta bounce
When two seconds ago said you just got in the house
[Verse 7]
It's hard to believe that you
Are at home by yourself
When I just heard the voice
The voice of someone else
Just this question, why do you feel you gotta lie?
Getting caught up in your game
When you cannot say my name
[Verse 8]
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down, it's the way it seems
Should have been a reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
You're saying everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
[Verse 9]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, baby I love you
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You're acting kind of shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
[Verse 10]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah, yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah
Yeah yeah yeah-yeah, yeah yeah-yeah
[Verse 11]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, baby I love you
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You're acting kind of shady
Ain't calling me baby
[Verse 12]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, baby I love you
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You're acting kind of shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
