Acting Like That

Lyrics
I been down since day one, yeah
Expressing long-term loyalty and commitment from the beginning.
I'm the only one that's been right here
Asserting constant presence and support.
Why you acting like you don't care?

I been down since day one

Don't let the tables turn

Don't let the bridges burn
-Been down for you
-Don't get it confused
-Boy you could lose your turn
-Don't let the tables turn
-Don't let the bridges burn
-'Cause everything could change in a matter of days
-Depending if you've learned
-Why you acting like that?

You gon' miss me when I'm gone
-Why you acting like that?
-(Why you acting like that?)

-You gon' miss me when I'm gone
-Why you acting like that?
-When I leave I'm taking off
-Baddest bitch in the world right here

You ain't even gotta go nowhere
-Boy you better watch the way you walk
-'Cause if you trip you're gonna fall

-When I leave I'm taking off
-Well shit, she may never

My love cost too baby, ain't nothing free
-Check my angle, daddy, you could call me angel, daddy
-Uh, but you gon' turn your beauty right into a beast
-Now, this is the business of pleasure let's keep 'em separate
-I ain't tryna be second, just for the record
-I see you slippin' you trippin' just thought I should let you know
-I admire your effort but I need better love
-See many men try to play me 'til they get scared away
-I told 'em that's just a fall, try another day
-This is different, now I'm seeing that it isn't
-Promise I'm not gon' cry here like Mary Jane
-Now ain't that funny, that you was something special
