[Candyman] In a hotel wakin up another day in showbiz Kiss the redhead in my bed, knowin not who she is Plug the phone back in the socket watch the light blink on the ringer There's a message in the lobby oh my God, it's Gina See a housekeeper in the hallway, so I say I know you have a route, but I'm willin to pay If you'll go out of your way, to clean my room up in a hurry My girly flew to see me and she's here a little early So the skeeze had to leave with no disrespect Said I'd meet her at the show I had to go to soundcheck Before she made her exit she collected cabfare From the elevator, while I crept down the stairs Step by step I was stallin every minute Givin her enough time, to catch a taxi and get in it Greeted my girl as if nothin ever happened But everybody knows, girls have a way of Trappin a guy without them knowin it But a hickie has a way of showin it So I got put in check, when she seen it on my neck And said "Candyman you're blowin it, you're playin on me" [Chorus] "But I don't give a hoot, huh, because I knocked boots" - Ice Cube [Candyman] Can't sleep, can't think, and you're missin your meals Simply because you heard I'm playin the field Do we still go together? Well that all depends On who you believe - me or your friends In makin conversation you ask why must I play To tell you the truth yo, I really can't say It's just one of those things that you can't understand Unless you're a man, but that ain't the plan And I stand corrected, if this ain't the truth Nobody wants a man who cannot knock boots So what's the use in you makin a pretense Baby you know the best teacher is experience Ever since then she's been actin kinda strange Sayin to herself "Two can play THAT game" Lame excuse but it was very well put I can't stand it, when the shoe's on the other foot So I went to her house, cause I knew she hadn't seen me Seen another man, in her room, watchin TV He was layin on her, she should be layin on me Just as I thought... she's playin on me [Chorus] [Candyman and Woman convo] Say love, I think you need to step outside with me for a minute Step outside wit'chu for what? We got things we need to talk about right NOW! LIKE?! Like what's up with this shade tree you got over here? What'chu mean what's up with this shade tree?

What? Heh, Right On! Y'knahmsayin? There's things that I'm doin in this business That you don't know nothin about It's like I got things to do that's business Me and you though, we got a relationship What kind of relationship with monkey bites all on your neck And you always talkin about "Knockin' Boots?"
