If you don't remember I'll bring it back [Chorus] [Breakdown: Lil' Mo] + (Lil' Kim) Remember, there's no such thing (Break 'em down Mo) As giving him too much When it comes to lovin' your man (Break 'em down Mo) It can never be enough Cuz I know you get excited, and you just can't fight it (And you wanna tell everybody) But you gotta make sure love's intact (Break 'em down Mo) If you don't remember I'll bring it back [Verse 3: Lil' Kim] I been in this game for years, it made me an animal Me and my girl Mo wrote ya'll manuals A step by step booklet for you to keep... ... Your man in place and out the next girl face Rule number one, never give a dude money Girl don't be a dumby, let the homie stay bummy Cuz once he start, he won't stop that's it And all he gon' do is spend it on the next chick Rule number two, before you give him some, it's your way Shoppin', the new car, that's what I call foreplay Now don't get me wrong, respect your man But if dude get outta line, check your man Rule number three should been number one to me Never go down 'till he lick you 'round Your neck, your back, your p**y and a** crack (Feel me?) Four, five and six, very important lesson Keep your man guessin', never let him see you stressin' And if you love him, here's seven, eight, nine and ten Never ever, ever mess with his friends You see, follow these rules and you'll have mad bread to break up House on the beach, and mad trips to Jacob He'll be home at night, hookin' you a steak up And keep comin' back for more on the wake up [Chorus]
