on the down low
Maxine was 5'9'' Had a man, and she didn't mind Walked up to me nice and slow What she wanted I did not know Gave me her pager number And said call her "anytime" Then she whispered in my ear [Chorus] She said My body wants you so For what I miss at home Nobody has to know Keep it On the down and low She said My body wants you so For what I miss at home Nobody has to know Keep it On the down and low She says that he Doesn't take her anywhere Used to say sweet things Acts like he doesn't even care He thinks that she's content 'cause he buys her cars And he pays her rent But she's not ready to leave She turned and said to me [Chorus] I wouldn't treat you that way If you were my lady I wouldn't share you You'd be mine and mine alone, oh yeah If he continues wastin' your time Girl, he's crazy I'll take her (Got to get down and low) Maxine looked into my eyes Wanted me to be the other guy 'cause tonight she's needin' someone to hold Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold Deprived of all the things She misses, wants, wishes, and needs Got hotter than a hundred an' three She turned and said to me [Chorus: Repeats]
