DARK CHILD, NINE, NINE

*** Chorus 1 ***
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't calling me baby
Better say my name

*** Verse 1 ***
Any other day I would call
You would say (you would say)
"Baby, how's your day?"
But today it ain't the same
Every other word is, "Uh-huh, yeah, okay"
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady
If you took it there
First of all let me say, I am not the one
To sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me
I'm the girl that you claim
Why don't you say the things
That you said to me yesterday

*** Bridge ***
I know you said that I'm assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be no reason why you acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'cause I know how you usually do
Why you saying everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there then tell me who

*** Chorus 2 ***
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't calling me baby
Better say my name

*** Verse 2 ***
What is up with this
Tell the truth who you with
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
Say you gotta bounce (bounce)
When two seconds ago
Said you just got in the house (in the house)
It's hard to believe that you are at home
By yourself (by yourself)
When I just heard the voice
Heard the voice of someone else
Just this question why
Do you feel you gotta lie
You caught up in your game
Where you cannot say my name

*** Bridge ***
I know you said that I'm assuming things
Something's going down that's that way it seems
Shouldn't be no reason why you acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'cause I know how you usually do
Why you saying everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there then tell me who

*** Chorus 3 ***
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't calling me baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name, say my name
If no-one is around you (If it doesn't change...Oh)
Say, "baby I love you"
If you ain't running game
Say my name, say my name (Baby, say my name)
You actin' kinda shady (Ooh...)
Ain't calling me baby
Better say my name
