Brother what is with you, you can't take a hint?

I need to shove a sprint between your eyes for you to see

You and me were never meant to be

Your homeboy likes me, I like him, too, get out the picture

I get your point but I'm not rolling with the punch

I scrunched up the letter you wrote me in lunch

In 5th period I pay no notice to your motion

My work is on the table, my pen's in locomotion

Every time I turn around, you're looking at my face

I try to ignore you, the bell rings, I race out the room

Zoom to another room, sit down, what do you know?

The lover's in town

The other brother (Who?) The one I want to talk to

Sitting three seats back, and I'm a walk over to him

And give him the letter I wrote

Because my feelings towards him are brewing, ya know?



Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle

Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle [x2]



In 7th the knucklehead walks in and sits down beside me

I said "Yo why you trying to ride me?"

Day in and day out I can't seem to get you off my back

What do you think I should do about that?

In fact it's embarassing, what a bufoon

You even follow me in the ladies bathroom

Give me a break, I can't take it, the stakes are too high

Besides, there goes the other brother

I'm not Keith Sweat, so don't sweat me

The other brother's smooth approach is what gets me

He intruiges the Mon you know

So I suggest the course towards me you blow

You're wasting time persuing Monie

Cause she's persuing the lover only

And as my mother did she told me

Go for what you know, Mo, yo



Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle

Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle [x2]



Bringing matters to a close and everybody knows

That I'm no longer in the middle

I made my decision, precisely, precision is a must

For me to solve another riddle

Step into a brand new rhythm, ism schisms

Nope, I'm not with 'em, I've given

My undivided attention, you know what I'm saying?

No type of games I'm playing when



Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle

Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle

(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle [x4]



Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle

Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle

Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle

The middle, the middle, the the the middle [x2]
