Ow! Don't be cruel... Uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh... We used to hang out tough just kickin' around We discovered a love that had never been found You gave me your heart I gave you my mind But a true love affair we could never find Although I want you bad I could let you go 'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no But due to fact that I want you, Jackie I want you more than human eyes can see But you had to start givin', tryin' to make a killin' Thought about the dollars I make and you were willin' To be with me Bobby B., but with a bad attitude I can't compete Now you know my name, now I know your game You want to be with me you got to be the same way That another girl would be and if you wanna be with me (CHORUS X 2 with ad-libs) We used to hang out tough just kickin' around We discovered a love that had never been found You gave me your heart I gave you my mind But a true love affair we could never find Although I want you bad I could let you go 'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no But due to fact that I want you Jackie I want you more than human eyes can see But you had to start givin', tryin' to make a killin' Thought about the dollars I make and you were willin' To be with me Bobby B., but with a bad attitude I can't compete Now you know my name, now I know your game You want to be with me you got to be the same way That another girl would be and if you wanna be with me (CHORUS with ad-libs, fade) From: "David Hayman"
