Yo-Yo - Girl, Don't Be No Fool lyrics

[INTRO] Excuse me Due to the fact you spend sleepless nights in the company of no one Holding on to a pillow, waiting for a phone call from your man Saying he'll be late again The question is: Is he out there working to make himself a better brother? [Yo-Yo] Ah-ah, I tell you what it is: Girl, you're gettin played like a s**er! (Don't be) This is for the men who like to dog women And this is for the women who like to get dogged by men And this is for Ice Cube and Jinx Because those brothers know they some dogs Ha! Here's a message to the ladies Married, single and even the ones with babies Listen to YoYo once again As I conversate about ways of men In your life, girl, keep an open mind And you'll find a lie in each and every line They say, "Hah, sure we're from the new school" What I'm tryin to say is, girl, don't be no fool (Don't be) (Don't be) [x3] (Stand up and fight For your rights) Girl, you're gettin played like a s**er I know it's none of my business But what the hell is this? Lettin a guy get the best of you? But here we go, YoYo is to the rescue Cause you see, I'm more than a softie I'm here to open your eyes, so you can smell the coffee Guys ain't nothin but dirt And they'll flirt with anything dressed in a mini-skirt You know your man's cheatin while you're sleepin He's leavin your side to start creepin But you pretend like you don't see the man I heard love is blind - but damn.. You can read it in brailles and still tell without a bright light That somethin ain't right You kow that he's sleepin with this girl and that girl I even saw your man with a fat girl But you know, two can play at that game He's got another on the side, do the same Bein in love is cool (true) But I'ma tell you like this: girl, don't be no fool (Don't be) (Don't be) [x3] (Stand up and fight For your rights) Hey Denise, girl, how you doin, how you - wait Wait a minute - Homegirl, what's up with the black eye? (Ehm - I fell) Hah, now that's a damn lie The man you got is just bad for your health You can lie to me, but not to yourself So when you gonna leave him? (But he says that he loves me) Hah, and you believe him? (Yeah) And then you let him sock you? (hm-hm) And after he says I'm sorry you let him knock you? Get rid of that s**er, girl, pick a winner Instead of gettin beat by a chicken dinner You ain't supposed to be hit (you're right) And any man that hits a girl ain't sh** I'm tryin to tell you, but I thought you knew it Cause right about now you're goin stupid for cupid But cupid ain't the ones gettin knocked around Socked around by a low-down clown from uptown So what you're gonna do to the creep? If I was you, I would wait until he fall asleep And I'd show him what time it is Tie him down and his behind is mine Show him he can get beat before you beat it Tell him to treat you the way you wanna be treated If that don't work, break out of your door But don't certainly let him hit you, girl, don't be no fool (Yeah, the IBWC is like in here! But YoYo got somethin else to say) Nowadays I guess men just think they can take advantage of a woman But that's when you have to come in and show the man If he can't get none of you You're just a woman just like he a man Here's a message to the ladies Married, single and even the ones with babies Listen to YoYo once again As I conversate about ways of men In your life, girl, keep an open mind And you'll find a lie in each and every line They say, "Hah, sure we're from the new school" What I'm tryin to say is, girl, don't be no fool (Don't be) (Don't be) [x3] Don't be no fool (Don't be) (Don't be) [x3] Girl... don't be no fool Brother, you have to protect and respect the black woman (On a serious tip) (Everybody plays the fool)
