Try to Do Me Lyrics

    Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)

    "You tried to do me" (3X) "I am not the one" (1X)

    [Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
    Tried to do me God
    But see baby, I am not the one baby
    You tried to do me
    Yeah.. yo check this out

    Verse One: Grand Puba Maxwell

    Why you wanna live so foul? You know
    sweatin, one for some, is not my style
    I'm the type to wine and dine and the candlelight
    Cause just one night could be just so right
    Your first riff, is that I'm never home
    And you're, sick and tired of bein alone
    But baby, I got work to do
    And ain't no-one gonna stop me from bein Pu'
    I buy you rings and things and all that good stuff
    But you still beefin that that is not enough
    Let's sit down and discuss it
    Baby bust it..
    You check my beeper when I'm still sleepin
    When I get out of cars you're out your window peepin
    I think the best thing for you and me
    is just to play like John Lennon and _Let It Be_
    You tried to do me

    Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)

    [Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
    Yeah.. but you see baby
    I am not the one
    You tried to do me, yeah
    Ay bust it

    Verse Two: Grand Puba Maxwell

    I would sing the song called just be my lady
    But you're the type of girl who likes to act real shady
    And rain on the brain like a hurricane
    Throw rhythm on a dame, cause I know the game
    You see, I'm just a rapper and nothing's free so..
    "Why are you watchin me?" *like Rockwell*
    Well honey can I get some privacy? ..
    You say cool, then you try to flip
    But you forgot to put the Gucci bag upon your hip
    You knew me, you blew me, others would pursue me
    The question that I ask is why you, tryin to do me?
    Make like a ship and just float on (float on)
    I'm not the type of brother that you can just gig on
    I know the time honey, there it is plain to see
    You're tryin to do me

    Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)

    [Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
    You tried to do me
    Yeah, but you see baby
    I am not the one
    I ain't havin it
    Yeah

    Yeah..

    Interlude: Grand Puba Maxwell

    Now see baby, I don't know why you tryin to flip and alla that
    Cause I'm out here tryin to do my thing
    and get these papes in today's society, youknowhatI'msayin?
    I'm tryin to make things a little better
    But if you wanna make matters worse
    Let me say this first
    There's no need for you to try to do me

    Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)

    [Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
    You tried to do me
    You tried to do me babe
    But you see
    I am not the one
    You tried to do me
    Yeah
    And now check it, I'ma end it like this

    Verse Three: Grand Puba Maxwell

    Now.. good times come, honey good times go
    I think this is somethin that you really oughta know
    The name of the game is to maintain
    Cause when you lose someone you love, then you feel pain
    It's up to you to decide if the love was worth losin
    To me you're not the everyday, Tina Tammy Susan
    Why can't you, understand?
    Instead of tryin to run the flim-flam on the Grand
    Baby, do whatever is clever
    Cause we can make this last.. forever and ever
    With joys there's pain
    But don't you worry about the Puba Maxwell, cause I can stand the rain
    Shoo-be-doo, this is what you oughta do
    Think of all the things that I just told you
    Remember all the times when I used to hold you and say
    We can last through eternity
    But don't ever try to do me

    Yeah.. yeah..
