Listen up ma, I got something to tell you, yea
(Ralph)
Gotta play the game
(Ronnie)
Strictly for the ladies
Verse 1
(Ralph)
Thereâs so kisses from you, when I leaving in the morning
Thereâs no roses for you, when I know Iâve hurt your feelings
Donât know what happen to us, girl I never saw it coming
How did love go downhill?
I think I know what cheatin men feel
(Hook)
I hit the bar bought a drink slip it slow just to think
Then a star with a big Gucci
She said it looks like you need a friend
The lonely girl is knocking let me in
We can leave no delay take my mind off this pain
To go to bed in the Marriot Suite
Tell wifey that I might be working late
Or hope I never have to say I lied [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/new_edition/thats_why_i_lied.html ]
(Chorus)
To keep my sex, to keep my house (Iâm sorry girl)
To still be here to work things out
To find some way babe to make it up to you
Thatâs why I lied
To keep your hug, to keep your kiss
To still be here to raise our kids
To keep my ring babe I couldnât tell the truth
Thatâs why I lied
Verse 2
So nervous these days got a feeling sheâll be calling
I know hurt is on the way when I dream of angels fallen
Thereâs no perfect way to say how my vows to you were broken
Who is that on the phone let me explain before go
(Hook)
I hit the bar bought a drink slip it slow just to think
Then a star with a big Gucci
She said it looks like you need a friend
The lonely girl was knocking I let her in
We leave with no delay take my mind off this pain
To go to bed in the Marriot Suite
I know I said that I was working late
But you found out today I lied
(Chorus)
From the moment I heard you say youâre leavin (Donât go)
It was the worse I thought could happen (for sure)
Iâm already missing your lovin your laughter the morning after
Itâs not a home without you here
I swear I learn my lesson baby
(Chorus) (2x)
(Ronnie)
Strictly for the ladies, my black sistas
Strictly for the ladies, Latinas
Strictly for the ladies, play boy bunnies and all
Strictly for the ladies, come on
