[Verse 1: Guru]
Strangely enough I've been struck,
Affected by her smile,
And, yo, her style is worthwhile,
And knowin' that I'm deep like a river
I feel I should give her
Things that those others can't deliver,
Contrary to what I had wished,
It seems that I've been dissed.
But, hey, I don't want to miss this
Wonderful opportunity,
My boys they try schoolin' me,
But see, I know what I want
Someone who'll be there for the whole nine.
This honey is so fine,
But now she's hung up the line,
Upset because I told her I'm busy,
She mad like a grizzly,
And started chewin' my head off,
Screamin' that I spend more time with friends,
And also, she said I ruined her weekend.
I said «I know the stuff we had planned
But, please, understand,
Right now I'm loungin' with my man.»
I guess I didn't realize I'd hurt her,
She said I had the nerve to
Just neglect her like that,
Then she started bringin' up past things
And she kept askin',
How come our love isn't lastin'?
I said, «Hey, baby, please, calm down
‘Cause I'm still around,
And it's for you that my heart pounds.
Can I call you later on?
You say I treat you wrong,
But why you flippin' on me?»
She said something else and then click,
Left me alone on the phone with the tone,
And now I'm lovesick.
Love sick!
[Verse 2: Guru]
Relationships can grip with the pain,
Arguments in the crib, in the streets, on the train,
I'm crazy fed but then still,
When she ain't there I feel sad, I feel ill,
Frownin' ‘cause I'm down in the dumps.
The other night I took her out
So she could shake her rump,
But after we were there for a few,
Some girls that I knew
Stepped up and asked me to come to
A party they were havin' at their house,
I looked at my girl, and, yo, she started walkin' out,
I said «Hey, love, just wait for a second
And won't you just check it?
It's all a part of makin' records
Those were just some friends in the business,
No need to get angry,
So listen up while I kick this,
And what about the things we discussed
About havin' trust?
What's all this attitude stuff?
Now, hon, you know that I wouldn't play you
But time after time, you let your jealousy sway you,
Hey, don't you turn your back like that,
Come on, this is wack!
You're heated up like a thermostat.»
Then she stepped off in a whirlwind,
And I don't know when
Or if I'm gonna see her again,
I coulda sworn she was the right one to pick,
But now, man, I'm just lovesick.
