Not Like This

Calvin Richardson

Girl, I know a thing or two about the way things go

With someone as fine as you

You be constantly dealin with the drive-bys

And the way guys be spittin at you

So it's hard for me to think

That you ain't had love

Ain't been you he thought the world of

And I just can't see

How even a playa wouldn't be

Ready to settle down



(Chorus)

You never been cared for (no not like this)

Girl, don't look no further

You never made love before (no not like this)

It's just for you

You say you had everything

And nothing was missing

What you thought was right is wrong

So baby just let me in

Girl, I know you had it but not like this



Girl, you must have heard all the things I'm tellin you

I'm not tryin to pressure you

But, I have to come at you with what I really feel

Girl, I, I'm sick over you

You ain't been told

That you're worth more than gold (now you know)

Girl, you are

Now, girl, I'll take the time

The time to treat you right

Cuz, girl, I just wanna settle down



Girl, you're so special

I will be the one

That makes you believe (that makes you believe)

That you ain't had a real good man

I just can't see it

So how could it be that



(Chorus)



So I take all the time that I need

(To show you how I really feel about you)

And I do all the things just to prove

That I never wanna be with out you

So baby girl the things you never had

I'll give you, and I'll,

I'll be the one that's gonna claim you

I'll be the one that's gonna name you

Girl, I'll be the one for you. Oh,



(Chorus)



Never had it like this...

Oh no, no, no...

Girl you never had it like this...

No not like this...

You never...
