Try To Do Me Lyrics - One For All - Brand Nubian

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me (But see baby) 

I am not the one (I am not the one baby) 

You tried to do me (You tried to do me) 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

But I am not the one 

Why you want to live so foul? 

You know sweatin', one for some, is not my style 

I'm the type to wine and dine in 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 being alone 

But baby I got work to do 

And ain't no-one gonna stop me from being 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 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me (But see baby) 

I am not the one (I am not the one) 

You tried to do me (You tried to do me) 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

But I am not the one 

Ay bust it 

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?" 

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 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me (But see baby) 

I am not the one (I am not the one) 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

But I am not the one 

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

'Cause I'm out here tryin' to do my thing 

And get these papes in today's society, 

You know what I'm sayin'? 

I'm tryin' to make things a little better 

But if you want to make matters worse 

Let me say this first 

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

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me (But see baby) 

I am not the one (I am not the one) 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

You tried to do me 

But I am not the one 

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

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 joy 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
