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 Cos he buys her cars And he pays her rent But she`s not ready to leave She turned and said to me [repeat chorus] [Bridge:] 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 Cos 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 [repeat chorus] [repeat chorus to fade]
