"Laid It" lyrics

"Laid It"

Shoulda laid it, but the woman wouldn't pay it
I don't wanna be degraded by the likes of you, you, you, you

I don't wanna steal the money, but my woman's actin' funny
And to tell her ain't too sunny, missin' you, you, you, you
A player's life for me, three or four women I will need
I don't wanna base my life on greed, listen, you, you, you, you

Right now, I'd like to just feel if I'm in the groove
In the groove, in the groove

If you think you've got it made, you'd better save your ace of spades
'Cause the deck of life won't cut for you, you, you, you
If a dime is all you got and your livin' ain't too hot
Swing your heart, your heart, and when you're not, you're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
What I'm saying is the move, I'm a player from coast to coast
So you ladies, drink a toast, here's to you, you, you, you
If the truth is what you need, baby, check my pedigree
Come and take me on a shopping spree, yeah, you, you, you, you

Shoulda laid it, but the woman wouldn't pay it
And I don't wanna be degraded by the likes of you, you, you, you

I don't wanna, hey, hey, hey, yeah
