MONIFAH TALKING: AH, FEELS GOOD
AH DON'T DON'T GO THERE,
AH YOUR NOT FOOLING ME
LISTEN

VERSE 1: BY THE WAY YOU DRESS
BY THE WAY YOU TALK
BY THE FRIENDS YOU KEEP
THE BENZ YOU BOUGHT
HOW YOU TREAT YOUR EX
HOW U TREAT YOUR CHILD
I PEEPED YOU STYLE
FROM HALF A MILE
WOULD YOU THINK OF ME?
SLEEP WIT SOMEONE ELSE?
WOULD YOU TAKE THE TIME
AND PROTECT YOURSELF?
HAVE YOU LIED HER?
WOULD YOU LIE TO ME?
I CAN TELL IF IT'S MEANT TO BE

CHORUS: I CAN TELL WHEN GUYS ARE ALL THE SAME (YEAH)
I CAN TELL IT WHEN THEY'RE PLAYIN GAMES. (PLAYIN GAMES)
I CAN TELL WHAT KIND OF GUY YOU ARE
I CAN TELL IT, I CAN TELL IT (I CAN TELL)
I CAN TELL WHAT YOU REALLY WANT (WHAT U REALLY WANT)
I CAN TELL IT WHEN ITS ALL A FRONT
GOTTA KNOW BEFORE I GO TO FAR(GOTTA KNOW B4 I GO 2 FAR)
I CAN TELL IT, I CAN TELL IT

VERSE 2: WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR HAND?
WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE?
DO YOU ACT BRAND NEW, IN FRONT OF YOUR BOYS?
DID YOU FINISH SCHOOL?
OR DID YOU DROP-OUT?
HAVE YOU OPENED UP, A BANK ACCOUNT?
AND IF I HANG OUT
AT THE END OF THE WEEK
DO I DETECT A JEALOUS STREAK?
DO YOU GO FOR SELF?
OR YOU AIM TO PLEASE?
CAUSE I CAN TELL
FROM I SEE.

CHORUS: I CAN TELL WHEN GUYS ARE ALL THE SAME (ALL THE SAME)
I CAN TELL IT WHEN THEY'RE PLAYIN GAMES. (PLAYIN GAMES)
