[Intro: B. Casey]

Man this a hard record

Man, I've been playin' around in these streets so long

I know my girl think that I'd never be ready

But I'ma do all I can to let her know I'm ready

'Cause really, she is worth it

[Verse 1: B. Casey & Jagged Edge]

From now on, I'm taking all her calls (All her calls)

From now on, I won't get lost at all (Mmm-mmm-mmm)

My time is runnin' out, I know (Mmm)

And right now, I'm just tryna restore her hope in me

'Cause clearly somebody don' hurt her

And I just wanna be the one who stands between

Anyone that don't do her right

I'd be there like every night

Tryna make these dudes see the light

[Chorus: Jagged Edge & (B. Casey)]

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me (Mmm-hmm)

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with (All this love)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hope she can see all this love that we should be (Mmm-mmm)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

[Verse 2: B. Casey & Jagged Edge]

I see the pain that he put in her face (Pain in her face)

Show me where he's at, let me put him in his place (Ooh, ooh)

Not tryna Bogart but, girl, I know

That it's a gamble to put her hope in me

Girl, Valentine's Day would be like every day

And birthdays would come around like every day

And by now, I'm startin' to build her hope (Startin' to build her hope)

I just hope she sees me, yeah

[Chorus: Jagged Edge & (B. Casey)]

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with (That I'm filled with)

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me (No, woah, woah)

Hope she can see all this love that we should be

All I wanna do is (All I), all I wanna do is (All I do)

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

[Bridge: B. Casey]

Tryna love you better than you ever been loved

I'm tryna touch you better than you've ever been touched

When it comes to sex, you know I keep turnin' up to place you've never been, girl

[Interlude: B. Casey, Jagged Edge & Kyle]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Hope she don't just see a thug now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hope she see can see all this love

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hope she don't just see a thug now

[Chorus: Jagged Edge]

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that I'm filled with

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man

Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me

Hope she can see all this love that we should be

All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is

Came up with this little plan

Put her hope back in a man
