Dedicated

Stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated

You've got to stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated

You've got to

Now this is called "Dedicated," though not a dedication

It's about an obligation in a love situation

Guys don't get your girls, girls don't get your guys

With a, relationship full of backstabbin' lies but

I'm here to tow the line on all that shooting

Dedicating is the subject I'm speaking

On therefore I need your undivided, attention

Sit and listen to, what Heavy D mentions

[Chorus]

Pretty lady, I heard about your status

You're lookin' for the boy, whose pockets are the fattest

And, I also know about your bad repu-ta-tion

The things you so, inside of a rela-tion-

Ship behind their backs, you use and abuse them

But in the face you say that you love them

'til one day Prince charming comes along~!

You say to yourself you won't do nothing wrong

Saw your opportunity, decided, to grab it

But first things first, you kicked your bad habit

Told your best friend you had the perfect life

But what can never go wrong, never will sound right

You see this guy that you're with is what like you used to be

He takes a lover undercover, destroyed your dignity

It used to be a joke but now the table's turned

You're the one gettin' dissed, so I hope that you learned

That he was lookin' for some action, some satisfaction

You thought it was, a physical attraction

Then one day, you caught your lover out there

When you asked him why he did it, he said he didn't care

So remember next time, you wanna act crazy

What comes around goes around, pretty lady!

Lady, lady, dedicated

[Chorus]

You got yourself a girlie and you should be coolin'

Tryin' to play the role, but who are you foolin'?

Your lady's not the one she knows about yo' schemin'

Time to wake up, pal, stop dreamin'

Before you know it what you got gets gone!

You're sittin' in the room with your head down mourn-ing/morning

Time comes, who's there it ain't your girlie

You said that you missed her, shoulda thought about it earl-ier

Cause now you're all alone no one to play with

No one to squeeze you easy, or give your a kiss

Kiddly kiddly kiss, kiddly kiddly kiss,

There's a lesson to be learned, I hope that you're learning

Cause if you disregard it's love you will be yearning

What I'm tryin' to say is this, read between the lines

Don't make a commitment you can't stand behind

Cause in the long run it'll only grow worse

And the love that you have'll turn out to be a curse

You struggle wit'cha life, tryin to get situated

When all you had to do is chill, and stay

Dedicated
