When you say that you love them and you really know Everything that used to matter don't matter no more Like my money, all my cars (you can have it all and) Flowers, cards and candy (I do it just 'cause I'm) Said I'm fortunate to have you, girl I want you to know I really adore you All my people who know what's going on Look at your mate, help me sing my song Tell her: 'I'm your man, you're my girl I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world' Ladies say: 'I'm your girl, you're my man Promise to love you the best I can' See, I've been there, done it, fucked around After all that, this is what I found Everyone of y'all are just like me It's too bad that you can't see That you got it bad You got it, you got it bad When you're on the phone, hang up and you call right back You got it, you got it bad If you miss a day without your friend, your whole life's off track Know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house You don't wanna have fun, it's all you think about You got it bad when you're out with someone But you keep on thinking 'bout somebody else You got it bad
