Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)



"You tried to do me" (3X) "I am not the one" (1X)



[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]

Tried to do me God

But see baby, I am not the one baby

You tried to do me

Yeah.. yo check this out



Verse One: Grand Puba Maxwell



Why you wanna live so foul?  You know

sweatin, one for some, is not my style

I'm the type to wine and dine and the candlelight

Cause just one night could be just so right

Your first riff, is that I'm never home

And you're, sick and tired of bein alone

But baby, I got work to do

And ain't no-one gonna stop me from bein Pu'

I buy you rings and things and all that good stuff

But you still beefin that that is not enough

Let's sit down and discuss it

Baby bust it..

You check my beeper when I'm still sleepin

When I get out of cars you're out your window peepin

I think the best thing for you and me

is just to play like John Lennon and _Let It Be_

You tried to do me



Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)



[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]

Yeah.. but you see baby

I am not the one

You tried to do me, yeah

Ay bust it



Verse Two: Grand Puba Maxwell



I would sing the song called just be my lady

But you're the type of girl who likes to act real shady

And rain on the brain like a hurricane

Throw rhythm on a dame, cause I know the game

You see, I'm just a rapper and nothing's free so..

"Why are you watchin me?"  *like Rockwell*

Well honey can I get some privacy? ..

You say cool, then you try to flip

But you forgot to put the Gucci bag upon your hip

You knew me, you blew me, others would pursue me

The question that I ask is why you, tryin to do me?

Make like a ship and just float on (float on)

I'm not the type of brother that you can just gig on

I know the time honey, there it is plain to see

You're tryin to do me



Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)



[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]

You tried to do me

Yeah, but you see baby

I am not the one

I ain't havin it

Yeah



Yeah..



Interlude: Grand Puba Maxwell



Now see baby, I don't know why you tryin to flip and alla that

Cause I'm out here tryin to do my thing

and get these papes in today's society, youknowhatI'msayin?

I'm tryin to make things a little better

But if you wanna make matters worse

Let me say this first

There's no need for you to try to do me



Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)



[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]

You tried to do me

You tried to do me babe

But you see

I am not the one

You tried to do me

Yeah

And now check it, I'ma end it like this



Verse Three: Grand Puba Maxwell



Now.. good times come, honey good times go

I think this is somethin that you really oughta know

The name of the game is to maintain

Cause when you lose someone you love, then you feel pain

It's up to you to decide if the love was worth losin

To me you're not the everyday, Tina Tammy Susan

Why can't you, understand?

Instead of tryin to run the flim-flam on the Grand

Baby, do whatever is clever

Cause we can make this last.. forever and ever

With joys there's pain

But don't you worry about the Puba Maxwell, cause I can stand the rain

Shoo-be-doo, this is what you oughta do

Think of all the things that I just told you

Remember all the times when I used to hold you and say

We can last through eternity

But don't ever try to do me



Yeah.. yeah..
