verse
Pull up your pants (just like 'em)
Take out the trash (just like 'em)
Gettin' your cash like 'em
Girl, you wanna act like he did (what I'm talkin' bout')
Security codes on everything
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
(Joint account) and another one he don't know about (hey)
pre-chorus
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
chorus
What if I, had a thing on the side
Would the rules change up, or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
verse
Girl, go ahead and be (just like 'em)
Go run the streets (just like 'em)
Come home and sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front wit' your friends, act hard when you wit' 'em, like 'em (what?)
Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an airtight alibi (keep him in the dark)
What he don't know won't break his heart (ayy)
pre-chorus
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
chorus
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry? (Made you cry?)
Would the rules change up, or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
hook
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
verse
With the sun getting home (would you like that?)
Told you I was with my crew when I knew it wasn't true
Walk a mile off in your shoes (would you like that?)
I'm messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
pre-chorus
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry? (Made you cry?)
Would the rules change up, or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
chorus
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
Can't be getting mad, what you mad?
verse
If I played you, would you like that? (It's Ciara, ha)
Had friends, would you like that? (It's Ciara, ha, ha)
Never call, would you like that? (Another one)
No, no, you wouldn't like that, no
