He don't love you like I love you
He don't see you like I do
He just wanna get to first base
So he can brag to his homies after school
He don't treat you like I treat you
He ain't never on his job
He just wants you on his arm so
So he can stunt for them chickens at the mall
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
And all my ladies say...
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
Her face shape out of a magazine
I ain't seen nobody like that, like that
I can't let this girl get away from me
I gotta get her right back, right back
He don't really care about your feelings
He don't check upon you like I do
He just want your number in his phone so
So he can brag to his homies after school
He don't really care about your heart, girl
He just want you as a trophy on the shelf
I just wanna see you happy as you could be
I don't care if it's with me or someone else
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
And all my ladies say...
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
Her face shape out of a magazine
I ain't seen nobody like that, like that
I can't let this girl get away from me
I gotta get her right back, right back
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, girl
Why you gotta be like that
And all my ladies say...
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
Why you gotta be like that, boy
Why you gotta be like that
He be telling you he love you when he really got another girl
Why you gotta be like that
All the lies that he telling you he tell to every other girl
Why you gotta be like that
I be knowing you for years but you won't gimme the time of day
Why you gotta be like that
All you really want is happiness but all I ever hear you say is
Why you gotta be like that
Her face shape out of a magazine
I ain't seen nobody like that, like that
I can't let this girl get away from me
I gotta get her right back, right back
