Lyrics
City High, 99
If you my dog, let me hear you bark
It ain't my fault that the thought that hit your heart
Split you apart, you should've kept your guard
Tryin' to play it hard last night, pulled up in a black Lex in a yard
Talk a lotta Ra Ra, ya gonna murder me
You got the wrong conspiracy, this ain't Kennedy
Jealousy get ya nowhere with Lady C
You want a wish you better I dream of genie
Yo, all I left her was a broken heart and a bunch of lies that I told her
And I bounced before the sheets, were warm
See, I'm the type to love them and leave them for no reason
I'll be out the door, I don't catch feelings 'cause my heart is cold
See, I'm that brother that your mother tried to warn you 'bout
But you just had to try it, now you're cryin' on your mamas couch
You put your heart in the fire, baby, it burned up
So, here's a little story 'bout a lesson you should learn from
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But me, I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But, the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love, 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt (hmm, whoa)
Well, first of all it ain't my fault that the chick broke your heart
If you was hurt, you should have told me from the start
Instead of sendin' me the flowers, all that candy and the Gucci s-
On the phone for hours gassin' me like I'm some groupy bi-
I've been hurt too, but that don't mean I'll hurt you
Never did I burn you, or front you like some do
Now, look at what we've come to, it's young and it's stupid
How you blamin' all of us for one chick that was rookin'
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But you, you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt
I thought you was a angel God sent to me, must have be
But the memory of our love burned like a rub burned
But a thug learned never put your heart in a flame
Be a part of the game, play smart in the game
But I was young back then, dumb back then
But nowadays, how I plays not the same
Controllin' these games, I know it can't do the pain
So don't come cry to me, lie to me
These days these women, just leave you bustin'
Penny less stuck with no benefits
Fuckin' for Benjamin's, suckers like Guinea pigs
Thinkin' they innocent
If I let them in again, I may never win again
Like the Bulls with no Jordon, epiphany
So when no love strong enough for me to be steppin' in
Where the booga basement love don't win for no more baby face it
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But me, I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But, the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love, 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But you, you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt
