VERSE 1

I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico,
I really didn't need the shopping sprees in L A or Melrose,
boy if you didn't know it , now you know
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry,
because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you been gone,
I've been holdin us down on my own, and oh

HOOK

I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
so you can stop asking, asking me why,
Why I never left you?
and Why I kept it real?
and why I'm still with you?

CHORUS
You should've known betta then to think I would leave,
you should've known betta then to doubt me,
It don't matter if you're up matter if youÂ're down
either way I'm gonna be around,
You should've known that I would stay by your side,
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die,
and it just don't matter if your rich or poor
out or in doing 5 to 10 You should've known betta

VERSE 2
What makes you think that I would forget about ya
think about it, Who comes to see ya?
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver,
oh oh oh its me your girl, your life, your world,
my family and friends they just don't understand
they say I should leave you alone,
but I say that they all should just leave us alone,
don't you get it it it

HOOK

I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
so you can stop asking, asking me why,
Why I never left you?
and Why I kept it real?
and why I'm still with you?

CHORUS(2x)
You should've known betta then to think I would leave,
you should've known betta then to doubt me,
It don't matter if you're up matter if youÂ're down
either way I'm gonna be around,
You should've known that I would stay by your side,
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die,
and it just don't matter if your rich or poor
out or in doing 5 to 10 You should've known betta
