Lyrics

[Chorus]

Don't want a love affair

Oh, no, baby

Don't want a love affair

Ooh, no

Don't want a love affair

Don't want a love affair

Yeah, baby

[Verse 1]

I feel before we go any further

I think that I should let you know

I've got a boyfriend

And I would hate to do anything to hurt him

So my loyalty I'll show

Don't wanna cheat on him

Never been the kind of girl who'd be unfair in relationships

I don't wanna lead you on

No, I

[Chorus]

Don't want a love affair

I ain't never been the kind to cheat

'Cause that ain't me

Don't want a love affair

See, I ain't down with O.P.P., no, I

Don't want a love affair

It doesn't matter if we're being discreet

'Cause that's not me

Don't wanna play around

I ain't down with O.P.P

[Verse 2]

Now you're startin' to look real good to me

But I think it's best you go (Before we go too far)

Baby, I

Gotta try to resist temptation

That way nobody gets hurt

Oh, nobody gets hurt

I got a boyfriend

Even if I was your girl I still wouldn't give myself to another

Why can't you just understand?

That's just the way I am

[Chorus]

Don't want a love affair

It doesn't matter if we're being discreet

'Cause that ain't me

Don't want a love affair

Ooh, as long as my man's lovin' me, oh baby

Don't want a love affair

It doesn't matter if we're being discreet

That's not me

Don't wanna play around

I will never kiss and tell

[Bridge]

Can't believe that you would say

You still would have respect in the morning

When I just couldn't respect myself

[Chorus]

Don't want a love affair

Oh no, baby

Don't want a love affair

I don't wanna, don't wanna

Don't want a love affair

Don't wanna play around

Don't want a love affair

I've got a man

I just can't mess around on my baby

Don't want a love affair

On my baby

[Chorus]

I just never stoop that low, no no

Don't want a love affair

I'd never stoop that low on my baby

'Cause I ain't anymore

Don't wanna play around

On my baby

I can't mess around on my baby

Don't want a love affair

I just can't mess around on my baby

No, I can't, baby

Don't want a love affair

No, I can never ever ever mess around on the man I love

Before we go too far

Love, love baby

Don't want a love affair

I'd never stoop that low on my baby

I've got a man, I've got a man

Don't wanna play around

On my baby

I've got a boyfriend
