Listen up ma, I got something to tell you, yea   Gotta play the game   Play the game strictly for the ladies      There's no kisses from you, when I'm leaving in the morning   There's no roses for you, when I know I've hurt your feelings   Don't know what happened to us, girl I never saw it coming   How did love go downhill? I think I know what cheating men feel      I hit the bar, bought a drink, sip it slow just to think   Then a star with a big Gucci   She said it looks like you need a friend   The lonely girl is knocking let me in   We can leave no delay take my mind off this pain   To go to bed in the marriot suite   Tell wifey that I might be working late   Hope I never have to say I lied      To keep my sex, to keep my house   To still be here, to work things out   To find some way babe to make it up to you   That's why I lied   To keep your hug, to keep your kiss   To still be here, to raise our kids   To keep my ring babe, I couldn't tell the truth   That's why I lied      I'm so nervous these days, got a feeling she'll be calling   I know hurt is on the way, when I dream of angels falling   There's no perfect way to say, how my vows to you were broken   And who is that on the phone, let me explain before you go      I hit the bar, bought a drink, sip it slow just to think   Then a star with a big Gucci   She said it looks like you need a friend   The lonely girl was knocking, I let her in   We left, no delay took my mind off the pain   To go to bed in the marriot suite   I know I said that I was working late   But you found out today, I lied      To keep my sex, to keep my house   To still be here, to work things out   To find some way baby to make it up to you   That's why I lied   To keep your hug, to keep your kiss   To still be here, to raise our kids   To keep my ring baby, I couldn't tell the truth   That's why I lied      From the moment I heard you say you're leaving   It was the worse, I thought could happen   I'm already missing your loving, your laughter, the morning after   It's not a home without you here   I swear I've learnt my lesson baby      To keep my sex, to keep my house   To still be here, to work things out   To find some way babe to make it up to you   That's why I lied   To keep your hug, to keep your kiss   To still be here, to raise our kids   To keep my ring babe, I couldn't tell the truth   That's why I lied      To keep my sex, to keep my house   To still be here, to work things out   To find some way babe to make it up to you   That's why I lied   To keep your hug, to keep your kiss   To still be here, to raise our kids   To keep my ring babe, I couldn't tell the truth   That's why I lied      Strictly for the ladies, my black sisters   Strictly for the ladies, you know Latinas   Yeah, strictly for the ladies, play boy bunnies and all   Here now, strictly for the ladies, come on
