When you say you love me, it doesn't matter

It goes to my head as just chit chatter

You may take this egostistical or just or worry free

But what you say I take none of it seriously

And even if I did I wouldn't tell you so

I'd let you pretend to read me

And then you'll know

Cause I hate when one attempts to analyze

In fact I despize those who even try

To look into my eyes to see what I am thinking

That dream is over, ya yacht is sinking

And I tell all of you like I told all of them

What you say to me is just paper thin, word

I'm not the kind of girl to try to play a man out

I take the money and the gear and then break the hell out

No thats not my strategy, not the game I play

I admit I play game but it's not done that way

Truly when I get involved I give it my heart

I mean my mind, my soul, my body I mean every part

But if it doesn't work out, yo it just doesn't

It wasn't meant to be you know, it just wasn't

So I treat all of you like I treat all of them

And what you say to me is still paper thin

In one ear and right out the other

Hurt is mumbo jumbo (eeeish) lover

I don't pay attention

I don't concentrate

You ain't got the bait that it takes to hook this

A-hah, a-hah, a-hah

Sucker you missed, I put feelings aside I know who I am

My name is Lyte is your name Sam?

Cause if it is step off, grab your coat and get lost

Wrap your scarf around your throat

And go back and catch a rope

And hit the road Sam, don't you come back

No more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road Sam, don't you come back no more

So now I take precaution when choosing my mate

I do not touch until the third or fourth date

Then maybe we'll kiss on the fifth or sixth

Time that we meet (mmmuaah) kiss

Cause a date without a kiss is so incomplete

And then maybe I'll let you play with my feet

You could suck the big toe and play with the middle

It's so simple unlike a riddle

It's as easy as counting to 1-2-3

In other terms, letters l-y-t-e

I'll tell you, you, you and all of you

In the back and in the middle in the front

Yo, that's it paper thin word up

Lyte checkin out

Two dedication to my dj k-rock in the place to be

(That's right, that's right, that's his name, k-rock)

Yeah

Word

That dream is over, your yacht is sinking

Word

Word

Yo, yo

It wasn't meant to be yo, it just wasn't

Issue

Uh huh, hahaha

Hit the road Sam, don't ya come back

No more, no more, no more

Hit the road Sam

Don't you come back no more

Uh huh

Word

Big toe and play with the middle

Unlike a riddle

Three, me, you
