That Dude Lyrics - Vb - Victoria Beckham

Don't mess with that dude 

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Don't mess with that dude 

If he's too young, some of them guys got a real big problem 

Startin' shit they can't finish if you allow them 

To get close enough to think you can't live without them 

Don't mess with that dude 

Say the rule applies to the next type 

Insecurity, he's trying to control your life 

Tired of feeling scared, somebody gon' come along and treat you right, no 

Don't mess with that dude 

Cos he's already taken 

I don't give a damn what kinda plans you're makin' 

Even if the playa says he's plannin on shakin' 

Bottom line is he's still takin' so 

Don't mess with that dude 

And if you're smart you'll leave him alone 

He ain't even thinkin' about getting his own 

Not a car, not a job, not a place of his own 

Comfortable at his mom's tho 

Don't mess with that dude 

And if he don't wanna pay the bills he have run up then 

Don't mess with that dude 

And if he lounge at the place while you're workin' I'd a come up here 

Don't mess with that dude 

And if he lazy, trite, and jealous, and got a wife then 

Don't mess with that dude 

And if he's all of the above, I'm gonna say it twice then 

Don't mess with that dude 

Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart 

Don't mess with that dude 

And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but 

Don't mess with that dude 

If he promise you happiness but he made you cry 

Said he'd be true to you but he told you lies 

You're willin to work with him but he just won't try 

Don't mess with that dude 

And when you're on to the next 

Good guy, good background, good sex 

Kick it for a minute but if he won't take steps 

Pause givin you his last name, yet 

Don't mess with that dude 

If you got a man then his boys are strictly off limits 

If they make noise your style will be diminished 

Tell him where to go if he's tryin to cash his feelings, yeah 

Don't mess with the dude 

And if your man's ever weak enough to be hittin' you 

Recognize, real, and take in what I've given you 

You don't deserve it, you're worth so much more than abuse 

Don't mess with the dude 

I know the game, I know the rules now 

Don't mess with that dude 

I heard the lies, I know the truth now 

Don't mess with that dude 

I've been alone and I been misused 

Don't mess with that dude 

Now I know what I gotta do, yeah 

Don't mess with that dude 

Don't mess with that dude 

Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart 

Don't mess with that dude 

And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but 

Don't mess with that dude
