| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
