[Chorus: Trey Songz & Lenny Williams]
No, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know, aw)
'Cause I don't need that stress up in my world and
Girl you know I-I-I, girl you know I-I-I love you
No, you can't be my, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Aw baby!)✦
And we can get it on and on and on (Girl you know, aw)
I'm gone when the sun come again✦ (Girl you know I-I-I)
Can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know I-I-I love you)
You can't be my, you can't be my (Aw baby!)✦
[Verse 2: Scarface]
But you can never✦ be my main boo, we can remain✦ cool
But we can't be seen and for this, I can blame you
Because you got more miles✦ than a F-350
You been ran through and I know for a fact you got history
But since we met, I've been hearin'✦ your name in certain circles
Pussy✦ got a snap like a turtle
And you can catch a nigga✦ on the late night
Comin'✦ out the club, half drunk off Remy✦ and Sprite
And make a man out him quick 'cause how you handle the dick
It's unlike✦ no other,✦ she a bad muh'fucker
But I'm too strong to let a hoe undercover
Make me look fucked✦ up, 'cause unlike✦ those others
I done met a lot of freaky✦ girls in my lifespan
So you can't get mad 'cause I am not your man
Your understandin' was bad, it was not my plan
For you to fall in love with me, girl it's not like that
[Chorus: Trey Songz & Lenny Williams]
No, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know, aw)
'Cause I don't need that stress up in my world and
Girl you know I-I-I, girl you know I-I-I love you
No, you can't be my, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Aw baby!)✦
And we can get it on and on and on (Girl you know, aw)
I'm gone when the sun come again✦ (Girl you know I-I-I)
Can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know I-I-I love you)
You can't be my, you can't be my (Aw baby!)✦
[Verse 3: Scarface]
For me to say that "I do" would be a lie 'cause I don't
Believe no woman✦ is right for me so I won't
Try to talk myself into✦ thinkin' she is
And if she leaves✦ me for this, that's just one less bitch
And trust me, I tried to be a one woman✦ man
But for every✦ one woman,✦ there's✦ a man, home man
Sayin', "Damn, I done spent six years in this shit
The first two was cool then the bitch just flipped"
And then that's it, had to make some new plans
'Cause your brand new woman✦ got a brand new man
Now you hurt all alone,✦ steady✦ hittin'✦ her phone
Bought a bigger✦ dick and longer✦ bankroll, she gone
And if I ever✦ say, "Maybe" and you thought that I might
You consider, just imagine what my wife was like
And if you ain't love my kids like you loved✦ your own
And me unconditionally when I was wrong, I was gone
[Chorus: Trey Songz & Lenny Williams]
No, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know, aw)
'Cause I don't need that stress up in my world and
Girl you know I-I-I, girl you know I-I-I love you
No, you can't be my, you can't be my girlfriend✦ (Aw baby!)✦
And we can get it on and on and on (Girl you know, aw)
I'm gone when the sun come again✦ (Girl you know I-I-I)
Can't be my girlfriend✦ (Girl you know I-I-I love you)
You can't be my, you can't be my (Aw baby!)✦
[Outro: Trey Songz]
Girl, sorry✦ baby!✦ (Haha,✦ woo)
