This is how it should be done [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why you wanna do me so bad [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why, why me, baby

Girl, tell me why, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

You broke my heart



This is how it should be done [Pump, pump that bass]



Let me tell you what happened to me

Couldn't believe my girl was down with O.P.P.

I went to the movies to get her off my mind

And saw her holdin' hands with the next man in line

So I jumped in my Benz in a fury

But first I took back all my jewelry (All my jewelry, babe)

Reminiscin' ‘bout the things that I gave her

Teachin' the crab how to roll with the flavor (Ooh, yeah)

Fingers, navels and ears look chunky

The she flipped the script and cold got funky (Sho' got funky with me, babe)

Hairs done, nails lookin' polished

But here's two dollars, now take the bus back to Hollis (Ooh, yeah)



Why, why me, baby [This is how it should be done]

Why you wanna do me so bad

Why, why me, baby

For you I sing this song

Why, why me, baby

You broke my heart [Pump, pump, pump that bass]



It all started when I was drivin' in my Cougar

Didn't have no dope, yet scehmin' to maneuver (Maneuver)

On my way to the grocery store

Dress was whack and the girl was raw (Girl was raw, yeah)

And as I stared in her eyes I realized she had potential

Gettin' her number was essential (Had potential)

217-633-somethin' is disconnected

I can't believe she fronted, kid (Ooh)

Next time that I seen her, I pulled on her crew (Yeah)

“What up, Miss, that's how you do” (Ooh)

Cuff, snatched her, grabbed her by the neck (Oh, yeah)

Slobbed her down with all do respect (Ooh, why)



Why, why me, baby

Why you wanna do me so bad [This is how it should be done]

Why, why me, baby

I'm begging, little girl, I'm so all alone

Why, why me, baby [Then I kicked it]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, babe [Marley Marl, take us to the bridge]



Girl, you did me wrong (You did me wrong, babe), girl, I'm all alone

Tell me why you did not tell me why, tell me

Baby, just take my hand, I don't understand

Tell me why you did the things you did, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]



Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why you wanna do me so bad

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

???Sometimes you girl up for all night long???

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

You broke my heart [Pump, pump, pump that bass]



Two years and a hundred grand later

35 packages on the escalator

Eaves dropping at the mall like “I Spy”

I seen her runnin' up on this kid from “Do Or Die” (Mmm, babe)

Ruster seemed like a wild vigilante

My girl is givin' up the skins, oh, no that can't be

Another brother is tastin' her toes

Makin' her sweat, damn, and everybody else knows



Was it good [Yeah], was she right [Yeah]

Every night did she hold you tight [Yeah]

Nice and tight, did she fight [Mmm, hmm]

Did she flip you like dynamite [Word up]

Was she hot [Yeah], hot to trot [Uh-huh]

Did she really, really hit the spot [You know it]



Full of the chick and I'm sick of the chick

And I'm flippin' it on the remix

Pumpin' and jumpin' and bumpin'

Dumpin' the girlie in the mix (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, babe)



Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

Why you wanna do me so bad [Can I kiss it]

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

For you I sing this sad, sad song

Why, why me, baby [Pump, pump, pump that bass]

You broke my heart [Pump, pump] [And L Cool and Keith wrecked it]



I know that you and me were meant to be

Baby, baby, baby, can't you see [Kick it]

Girl, look me right here in the eye

They say that a man ain't supposed to cry [Kill ‘em, uh]

Get down on my hands and knees

And beg you, baby, please, please [Yeah], please [Played yourself, baby]

Don't break my heart [Played yourself, baby, that's how it is], yeah, yeah, baby



Why, why me, baby

Why you wanna do me so bad

Why, why me, baby

Yeah, yeah, you make me hang out so all night long

Why, why me, baby

You broke my heart
