|
Stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated |
|
You've got to stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated |
|
You've got to |
|
Now this is called "Dedicated," though not a dedication |
|
It's about an obligation in a love situation |
|
Guys don't get your girls, girls don't get your guys |
|
With a, relationship full of backstabbin' lies but |
|
I'm here to tow the line on all that shooting |
|
Dedicating is the subject I'm speaking |
|
On therefore I need your undivided, attention |
|
Sit and listen to, what Heavy D mentions |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Pretty lady, I heard about your status |
|
You're lookin' for the boy, whose pockets are the fattest |
|
And, I also know about your bad repu-ta-tion |
|
The things you so, inside of a rela-tion- |
|
Ship behind their backs, you use and abuse them |
|
But in the face you say that you love them |
|
'til one day Prince charming comes along~! |
|
You say to yourself you won't do nothing wrong |
|
Saw your opportunity, decided, to grab it |
|
But first things first, you kicked your bad habit |
|
Told your best friend you had the perfect life |
|
But what can never go wrong, never will sound right |
|
You see this guy that you're with is what like you used to be |
|
He takes a lover undercover, destroyed your dignity |
|
It used to be a joke but now the table's turned |
|
You're the one gettin' dissed, so I hope that you learned |
|
That he was lookin' for some action, some satisfaction |
|
You thought it was, a physical attraction |
|
Then one day, you caught your lover out there |
|
When you asked him why he did it, he said he didn't care |
|
So remember next time, you wanna act crazy |
|
What comes around goes around, pretty lady! |
|
Lady, lady, dedicated |
|
[Chorus] |
|
You got yourself a girlie and you should be coolin' |
|
Tryin' to play the role, but who are you foolin'? |
|
Your lady's not the one she knows about yo' schemin' |
|
Time to wake up, pal, stop dreamin' |
|
Before you know it what you got gets gone! |
|
You're sittin' in the room with your head down mourn-ing/morning |
|
Time comes, who's there it ain't your girlie |
|
You said that you missed her, shoulda thought about it earl-ier |
|
Cause now you're all alone no one to play with |
|
No one to squeeze you easy, or give your a kiss |
|
Kiddly kiddly kiss, kiddly kiddly kiss, |
|
There's a lesson to be learned, I hope that you're learning |
|
Cause if you disregard it's love you will be yearning |
|
What I'm tryin' to say is this, read between the lines |
|
Don't make a commitment you can't stand behind |
|
Cause in the long run it'll only grow worse |
|
And the love that you have'll turn out to be a curse |
|
You struggle wit'cha life, tryin to get situated |
|
When all you had to do is chill, and stay |
|
Dedicated |
