Lyrics
How many times have I called you,
Expressing frequency of calling the person.
Checking in when I knew I would be late,
Checking in despite anticipating lateness.
And how many times did invite you 'round,
Extending invitations despite recent tensions.
Knowing lately all in my face,
Acknowledging proximity and interaction with others.
So tell why you trippin' girl about all these different girls
Questioning the partner's concerns about other girls.
Is that what you really think of me
Reflecting on partner's perception of character.
When you got the most important piece of me, (piece of me)
Highlighting the partner's significance.
I could be leaving but I'm not
Contemplating leaving but choosing to stay.
I realize what I got, can't nobody take your spot
Acknowledging and valuing the partner.
No matter how many places I go
Reaffirming commitment despite conflicts.
I will always call you home,
-They ain't got nothing on you,
-I know we be fussin, think it's always something,
-But it's nothing on you
-If I wanted her I'd get her,
Emphasizing the partner's uniqueness.
But you're so much better yeah
-You ain't gotta be around,
-Baby for me to always hold you down
-They ain't got nothing on you
-Nothing nothing
-They ain't got nothing on you
-She might look like Hallie,
Comparing the partner to others and expressing commitment.
But you always steal the scene,
-And I know you think that I'm not ready,
-To truly say that you are the one for me,
-It's nothing that I don't think about it,
-Girl I'm may look but I won't touch
-I never put that shit on us,
-Will I ever leave, I doubt it
-Baby you so stole my heart,
Describing the depth of emotional connection.
So I can't go too far,
-No matter how many places I go,
Reiterating the idea of home and exclusivity.
I will always call you home,
-They ain't got nothing on you,
-I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
-But it's nothing on you
-If I wanted her I'd get her,
Reinforcing the partner's superiority.
But you're so much better yeah
-You ain't gotta be around,
-Baby for me to always hold you down
-They ain't got nothing on you
-Nothing nothing
-They ain't got nothing on you
-Well there's Tina Michelle or Erica
Listing names, emphasizing past mistakes, and understanding.
Ain't none of them gon' ever come between us
-Baby I've been there before so I understand
-We all make mistakes so don't judge a man
-They ain't got nothing on you,
Continuing to assert the partner's uniqueness and value.
I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
-But it's nothing on you
-If I wanted her I'd get her,
-But you're so much better yeah
-You ain't gotta be around,
-Baby for me to always hold you down
-They ain't got nothing on you
-Nothing nothing
-They ain't got nothing on you
-I know we be fussin', think it's always something,
Repeating the theme of unwavering commitment.
But it's nothing on you
-If I wanted her I'd get her,
-But you're so much better yeah
-You ain't gotta be around,
-Baby for me to always hold you down
-They ain't got nothing on you
-Nothing nothing
-They ain't got nothing on you
