Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why you got an attitude? (Yeah)

Why you actin' all foolish? (Yo)

When you see me out in the street, boy

You wanna embarrass me, call me names

Slap my face until

[Verse 2]

Till you see my friends come (Yeah)

Then you wanna try to console me (Yeah, yeah)

Oh, but they already know, boy (They already know, boy)

'Cause for the last week I've been in the house

And I cried and cried

[Verse 3]

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (No, no, no)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that (No, no, no, no, no)

[Verse 4]

Now you bring me flowers (What)

You say you got it together (Yeah)

Soon as I let my guard down

Oh, there you go again in my grill

Till I called the cops then

[Verse 5]

You wanna chill out and say (So what?)

I'm the one who's buggin' (Yeah)

But no, no, it's you, you see (No, no, it's you who see)

Every time I go out you come grabbin' all over me (Yeah)

[Verse 6]

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (I can't)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (No, no, no, no, no, no)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (I can't go for that)

I can't go for that, can't go for that (I can't go for that)

[Verse 7]

Why you trippin'?

Get your hands off me (Get 'em off me, yeah)

Why you illin'?

I'm supposed to be your Nubian queen

(I'm supposed to be your Nubian, oh, baby, your Nubian)

Why you trippin'? Get your hands off me

Get your hands off me (Yeah)

Why you illin'? (Why, why, why)

I'm supposed to be your Nubian queen (Ooh, baby, your)

(I'm supposed to be your Nubian queen, oh)

[Verse 8]

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (No) (I can't go)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (No) (I can't go for that)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (I can't go for that)

I can't go for that, can't go for that, I can't go for that

(I can't go)

[Verse 9]

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (Puttin' your hands on me)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (Always tryna disrespect me)

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do (No, no) (No, no)

I can't go for that, I can't go for that, I can't go for that (No, no, no)

(No, no, no)

(Yeah, yeah, I can't go for that)
