[Chorus: Sample from Intro - “Funny How Time Flies”]

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)


[Verse 1]

What you want?

I shoot a line, thinking maybe we can talk ‘cause

The first time I laid eyes on you, boo

I seen into the future, you and I true blue, huh

High school, eleventh grade, my, my, you fly

I was struck, you gave a go, we took it slow

Every Friday, you made it my day, coming to know

You was pure inside-out and not just a ho

Oh my God, my folks taking to you, now it’s official

If other girls would call the crib, my mommy, she would blow the whistle

I’m, uh, past infatuation, love is in effect now

What you call sex, I say, “Yo, baby, I’m stressed out”

We built a bond that’s so strong, knowing


[Chorus: Sample from Intro - “Funny How Time Flies”]

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me


[Verse 2]

Many years in the mix now

We get a crib together, our love is tough like leather

Always by your side like a shadow but not narrow

You be like my queen, and O.C., I’ll be your pharaoh

Handle each other with care, we’re in-

-separable, none come second to you

We embellish trust, we might fuss and cuss

‘Cause we’re like stainless steel, baby, we can never rust

Blessed me, God, for granting my soulmate to life

Common law, nine years, you officially my wife, ooh

Do what you want, I don’t worry ‘bout fools

I’m secure ‘cause I know it’s me you’re coming home to, true

Teenage love turned into something strong, knowing


[Chorus: Sample from Intro - “Funny How Time Flies”]

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)


[Verse 3]

Always and forever, forever always

So much Temptation, but I don’t pick up strays

Case in fact: a rapper meet many a groupies

Looking fine like I realized they’re just floozies

Toured the world from Amsterdam to Japan

Shot at me on tour, hooker tried to play your man

Now, thought about my girl, my moms and my pops

If it wasn’t for the cops, I’d be laying in a box

Dying in vain, stirring up a whole lot of pain

Tombstone might have read, “Gave the wood, died for the fame”, man

When I’m away, I call my woman every day

I figure, “Why fuck up a good thing for one night’s lay?”, I say

Getting past all the sour times we had

From others intervening, talking nothing but trash, but

We got a bond that’s so strong, knowing


[Chorus: Sample from Intro - “Funny How Time Flies”]

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)

We just can’t go wrong

You got me

We just can’t go wrong

You got me hypnotized, mesmerized (Mesmerized)
