lyrics
He took my heart,
and that's the reason I can't give it to ya
I know I sent ya off,
swear I didn't mean to do it to ya/
He's like a game of Chess
and he likes to put me to the test/
'Cause he's the Saint of Bad Examples
and it's making me a wreck, see.../
My people say "Leave he alone",
but everything I pick up the phone
it's my voice in his dome
I'm begging him to come home/
I get so frustrated,
and yet I stay overly elated/
I know he's up to no good,
watch him booking every Pretty Young Thing
in the neighborhood/
Got a whole lotta game to him,
and a little bit of fame to him...
I like the way that you glow
and everywhere we go, people
they know you/
I ain't tryna be a hater,
but why you gotta be a player?/
'Cause I put in a lotta work see,
so do you really have to jerk me?/
I tell you what...
Bring the drinks/
And bring the longstroke witcha/
Yeah we gone get it in,
and honey you know I could never quit cha/
'Cause I care a whole lot...
Maybe a little too much/
'Cause you're my angel- oh yeah
You're my angel- oh yeah/
But, baby, you're the Saint of Everything Wrong
I tell you, you're the Saint of Everything Wrong/
Boy, you're my angel- oh yeah
You're my angel- oh yeah
and that's the reason I can't give it to ya
I know I sent ya off,
swear I didn't mean to do it to ya/
He's like a game of Chess
and he likes to put me to the test/
'Cause he's the Saint of Bad Examples
and it's making me a wreck, see.../
My people say "Leave he alone",
but everything I pick up the phone
it's my voice in his dome
I'm begging him to come home/
I get so frustrated,
and yet I stay overly elated/
I know he's up to no good,
watch him booking every Pretty Young Thing
in the neighborhood/
Got a whole lotta game to him,
and a little bit of fame to him...
I like the way that you glow
and everywhere we go, people
they know you/
I ain't tryna be a hater,
but why you gotta be a player?/
'Cause I put in a lotta work see,
so do you really have to jerk me?/
I tell you what...
Bring the drinks/
And bring the longstroke witcha/
Yeah we gone get it in,
and honey you know I could never quit cha/
'Cause I care a whole lot...
Maybe a little too much/
'Cause you're my angel- oh yeah
You're my angel- oh yeah/
But, baby, you're the Saint of Everything Wrong
I tell you, you're the Saint of Everything Wrong/
Boy, you're my angel- oh yeah
You're my angel- oh yeah
