On The Down Low lyrics

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]
