Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?   Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?   Why don’t you see what I really want is for real?   But I don’t think you know how to keep it real   You can be my lover or you can be friend,   We can be official or we can just pretend,   Just let a nigga know before the night ends,   Just in time for our lives to begin.      Let me tell you bout this lady friend of mine   I don’t know how to keep her off my mind   But let me tell you two things that I do know   She is the girl for me    I’ve already met my 10 girl   But my niggas say that it’s a lost cause   Cause a girl like her just never falls for a nigga like me   But when I see her I just ask her what do I have to do?      Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?   Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?   Why don’t you see what I really want is for real?   But I don’t think you know how to keep it real   You can be my lover or you can be friend   We can be official or we can just pretend   Just let a nigga know before the night ends   Just in time for our lives to begin      I’ve been really thinking bout just what she does to me   How I care about her and how she can’t see that   I’m the nigga that she needs    And if I tell you I gat you baby girl believe that   I know niggas might lie    But we both know that that’s no surprise   And I can see it in the signs that I need you by my side      Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?   Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?   Why don’t you see what I really want is for real?   But I don’t think you know how to keep it real   You can be my lover or you can be friend   We can be official or we can just pretend   Just let a nigga know before the night ends   Just in time for our lives to begin      And I can tell when I look in your eyes,   You really wanna talk to me and baby girl its no surprise   That you gat everything I need   I’ve really been wrestling with this one question   Let this be a lesson if your lady’s your blessing   Let this be a lesson if your lady’s your blessing      Do I have to walk around and call you my boo?   Do I have to buy you things and talk to your crew?   Why don’t you see what I really want is for real?   But I don’t think you know how to keep it real   You can be my lover or you can be friend   We can be official or we can just pretend   Just let a nigga know before the night ends   Just in time for our lives to begin
