1988 [G] senior year at Garvey High, where all the [F] guys were [G] corny but the girls were mad fly.
Lounging with the duster, cooling with shot, scoping [F] out the [G] honeys, they know who they are.
I was the B, ball playing, fly rhyme saying, fly [F] girl [E] getting, whenever was I [Gm] sweating.
Cause when it came to [G] honeys I would go on a stroke, until I [F] met my [E] match, her name was Flo.
Yeah, I messed around with the one called Flo, all the troopers [Fm] round the [E] way used to call her a ho.
[Gm] Well deep down in my heart I knew that Flo was good to go, cause I thought it [Fm] was me, [E] like Belle Thippe DeVoe.
But little did I know that she was playing with my mind, the only [F] thing I've [E] learned is good girls are hard to find.
I feel like heavy D, I need somebody [C#] for me, not someone whose [F] mind is blank and trying to juice me for my [G] banks.
Swinging with my main man, lucky behind my back, what type of [F] crap is [E] that?
Yo how's about a [F#m] smack, word like fuck and fuck, [Gm] thought I was all that, but now it [F] seems [F#] I've met my match.
[Gm] I was a stone cold [G] lover, you couldn't tell me that, settling down with [F] one [F#] girl, wasn't trying to hear that.
[Gm] I had Tanya, [G] Tamika, Sharon, Karen, Tina, [F] [G] Stacey, Julie, Tracy used [F#m] to love them, [G] leave them, sneeze them, tease them, [F] find them, [E] bruise them, also abuse them.
My whole attitude [Gm] was new day, next cup, and believe it [F] or not, [F#] they all got [G] ducked.
Well here comes Flo, with the crazy whipper feeler now, all too [F] man, [E] like Alexandra O'Neal.
Is this [Gm] really love?
Then again how would I know, after all [F] this time, trying to be a super [D#] hoe.
She finally played [Gm] me, but yo I'd find another, cause I've got the crazy game in yo I'm smooth like butter.
It's like butter, [Cm] it's [Bm] like butter baby, it's like butter, [Em] it's like butter baby, [Gm] it's like butter, [Cm] it's [D] like butter baby, it's like butter, [Em] it's like butter baby, [Gm] it's like butter, [Cm] it's like butter baby, [Bm] it's like butter, [Em] like the butter baby.
[Gm] Not no parking, [Cm] not no margarita, [Bm] it's like [Em] butter, [F] it's like butter baby.
I remember when girls were good eating shoes, but now they turn to freaks all of a sudden.
We love you Flo!
My name's Mo, fight this, fight that.
Where you going, where you at, these girls [G#] don't know me from Jack, yet I feel like the man.
[G] You didn't want me then, so yo hun, don't want me now, hear me.
[F] Take the [D] towel, wipe off your [Gm] brow, and take the contact out your [G] eye.
You're far from looking fly, you're getting [F] E for [E] effort, and T for nice [Gm] try.
And tell me what's the [G] reason for dying your hit?
Slum [F] village, [F#] your old still dangling in your [Gm] air.
Your fairly half a knife is still squirting a rope.
Four finger ring, just so Pfeiffer can scope.
You looked in the mirror, didn't know what to do.
Yesterday your [C] eyes were [F#] brown, but today they are blue.
[Gm] Your whole appearance is a [G] lie, and it can never be true.
And if you really [F] like yourself, [G] then you would try and be you.
If your hair and eyes are [Gm] real, I wouldn't have dissed you.
But since it [F] was bought, [F#] I had to dismiss [Gm] you.
But if you can't [G] achieve it, then why not try and weave it?
[F#m] If you can't extend it, then you might as well suspend it.
If you can't [G] braid it, best thing to do is fade it.
I asked you, [F] did you [E] hear?
And you tell me, Diane.
Maybe if you were you, and just you, [Gm] talk to you?
Maybe, but I [F] can't stand [F#] you.
No, bionic [G] lady, trying hard to look [Gm] fly.
But yo, you're looking dumber.
If I wanted [F] someone [E] like you, I would have swung with Jamie Summers.
You want to be treated [Gm] right?
See Father MC.
Or check Ralph Trespin for sensitivity.
Cause I am not the one.
I got more game than Parker Brothers.
