Pull up your pants (just like 'em)
Take out the trash (just like 'em)
Gettin' your cash like 'em
Fast like 'em
Girl, you wanna act like he did (I'm talkin' 'bout)
Security codes on everything
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
Joint account and another one he don't know about (hey)
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
[Chorus]
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry?
Would the rules change up or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Girl, go ahead and be (just like 'em)
Go run the streets (just like 'em)
Go home, missin' sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front wit' your friends
Act hard when you wit' 'em, like 'em
Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an airtight alibi
Keep it hid in the dark
What he don't know won't break his heart (hey)
Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
[Chorus]
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
If I was always gone
Let the sun beat me home (Would you like that?)
I told you I was with my crew when I knew it wasn't true if I act like you
Walked a mile off in your shoes (Would you like that?)
Messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
[Chorus]
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
R-A, go, here's the clutch
If I paged you (Would you like that?)
Had friends (Would you like that?)
Never call (Would you like that?)
No, no, you wouldn't like that, no!
What if I, made you cry? Would they still apply?
What if I, if I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
Take out the trash (just like 'em)
Gettin' your cash like 'em
Fast like 'em
Girl, you wanna act like he did (I'm talkin' 'bout)

P.S DESOLATEEDEN HOW THE HELL R WE SUPPOSE TO KNOW WAT A GUY IZ LIKE REALY AND WE DON'T ALWAYS PICK THE THUG GUY SO STOP FUKING ASSUMING EVERYTHING DAMN!
YA I JUST FUKING CALLED U OUT
Still, it's one of these braindead I CRIED MY EYES OUT FOR YOU WHILE YOU WERE DRINKING BEERS WITH YOUR FRIENDS WHYYYY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME I'M SOOOO DEPRESSED AND HURT AND I WANT TO DIE, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP IS BASED ON SEX ONLY, IT M-U-S-T BE YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE MALE? - songs.
Too bad.
So relax guys who take this song offensively, every girl knows in her heart that there is a good guy out there. And if you take this song so offensively maybe it's because you've been guilty of one or two of these things to begin with.
Also I do agree that girls do cause problems to and can act like this as well. However the reason there are more songs about it from a girls perspective than a guys is because girls can express themselves that way. When guys get this from girls theyre more likely to just get mad and break it off. A girl is more emotional and can put more into a song like this.
Just my opinion
This song bring me to KanYe West's song 'Gold Digger'.
NOW I AINT SHES A GOLD DIGGER, BUT SHE AINT MESSING WITH NO BROKE NIGGAS.
Chicks can be evil and conniving.
And it hurts when you like them and they have someone else.
So I guess its both sides aye?
Ciara IS NOT NOR EVER HAS BEEN A HERMAPHRODITE!
There has never been any record of ciara or mother on oprah,
nor has she ever had a male organ in her body.
she said herself:
"You know what's funny? The rumor that I used to be a man. They said Oprah said that on her show. I've never been on Oprah in my life - we all know I have years before I go on Oprah, so come on,"
true story, look it up, unlike you sitiboi i actually did,
the rest: obviously you have issues if you spread this nasty rumor about someone you dont even know without even checking the facts. sory but , CIARA'S ALL WOMAN BABY!!!!
