Thou shall say my name

[Rodney Jenkins]
Dark Child '99

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Betta say my name
 

Any other day I would call you would say,
"Baby, hows your day?" But today it ain't the same
Every other word is a "huh", "yeah", okay"
Could it be that you are at the crib wit' another lady?

If you took there, first of all, let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me and the other girl that you playin'
Why don't you say the things you said to me yesterday?

I know you sayin that I am assuming things
(Somethin's goin' down -- that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why you actin' strange
(Nobody's holding you back from me)
Cuz I know how you usually do
(When you sayin' everything to me times two)
Why can't you just tell the truth?
(If somebody's there then tell me who)
 

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Betta say my name
 

What is up with this?
Tell the truth, who you wit'?
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique?

Don't try to change it now
Say you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago,
Said you just got in the house

It's hard to believe that you
Are at home by yourself
When I just heard the voice,
Heard the voice of someone else

Just this question: Why
Do you feel you gotta lie?
Getting caught up in your game
When you cannot say my name
 

I know you sayin that I am assuming things
(Somethin's goin' down -- that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why you actin' strange
(Nobody's holding you back from me)
Cuz I know how you usually do
(When you sayin' everything to me times two)
Why can't you just tell the truth?
(If somebody's there then tell me who)
 

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Why the sudden change?

Say my name, Say my name
If nobody's around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't runnin game

Say my name, Say my name
You actin' kind of shady
Ain't callin me 'baby'
Betta say my name

Where my ladies at?
(Yea yea yea yea yea yea)
Can you say that? Come on
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea)
All the girls say
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea)
What? I can't hear you
(Yea yea yea yea)
All my ladies say
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea)
All the girls say
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea)
Break it down
(Oh woo, oh)
Oh oh, D.C., take it to the bridge
Come on
 

I know you sayin that I am assuming things
(Somethin's goin' down -- that's the way it seems)
Shouldn't be a reason why you actin' strange
(Nobody's holding you back from me)
Cuz I know how you usually do
(When you sayin' everything to me times two)
Why can't you just tell the truth?
(If somebody's there then tell me who)
 

Say my name, Say my name
