Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, what up, this Wyclef with Mary J.
I'm 'bout to serenade these girls with my acoustic guitar
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, fellas, havin' problems with the chicks?
I want you right now to turn the lights down low
Pull your girl up next to you
I want you to say these words to her
[Verse 2]
If death comes for me tonight, girl
I want you to know that I loved you
And no matter how tough, I wouldn't dare
Only to you, I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I ain't home tonight
Messin' around with you is gon' get me life
But when I look into your eyes
Man, you're worth that sacrifice
[Verse 3]
Ay, ay
If this is the kinda love that my mom used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble, I'm in real big trouble
If this is the kinda love that the old folks used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble, I'm in real big (Trouble)
I need y'all to do me a favor
[Verse 4]
Someone please call 911 (Pick up the phone, y'all)
Tell them I just been shot down, and the bullet's in my heart
And it's piercin' through my soul (I'm losin' blood, y'all)
Feel my body gettin' cold (So cold, so cold)
[Verse 5]
Someone please call 911 (Pick up the phone, y'all)
The alleged assailant is five-foot-one
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body gettin' cold (So cold)
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner
I think I'm trapped here for a while, yeah, yeah
(But I'm always right here with you, girl)
And every breath I fight to take, yeah
It's as hard as these four walls I wanna break
I told the cops you wasn't here tonight
Messin' around with me is gonna get you life
Oh, yeah, yeah
But every time I look into your eyes
Man, it's worth the sacrifice
[Verse 7]
If this is the kinda love that your mom used to warn you about
Mary, you're in trouble (I'm in real big trouble), you're in real big trouble
(Lord knows I'm in trouble)
If this is the kinda love that the old folks used to warn me about
(Every day, every night)
I'm in trouble (I'm in real big trouble), I'm in real big trouble (Oh, ooh)
You got anything to say, girl?
[Verse 8]
Someone please call 911, yeah, yeah (Pick up the phone, y'all)
Tell them I just got shot down (Tell them I just got shot down)
And it's piercin' through my soul (I'm losin' blood, y'all)
Feel my body gettin' cold (So cold, so cold)
[Verse 9]
Someone please call 911 (Can you do that for me?)
The alleged assailant was five-foot-one
And she shot me through my soul (And he shot me through my heart)
Feel my body gettin' cold (So cold, so cold)
(He didn't care, he didn't worry, he didn't wonder)
[Verse 10]
(Whoa, oh) Wyclef and Mary J. Blige
I'm feelin' you, girl (Whoa), I understand
(Can you do it? Will you do it?)
(Would you do it and do it, and do, and do it for me?)
