Teddy Riley - Dedicated lyrics

[Chorus] Stay, stay dedicated You've got to stay, stay dedicated You've got to [Verse 1] Now this is called "Dedicated" though not a dedication It's about an obligation in a love situation Guys don't get your girls, girls don't get your guys With a, relationship full of backstabbin' lies but I'm here to tow the line on all that shooting Dedicating is the subject I'm speaking On therefore I need your undivided, attention Sit and listen to, what Heavy D mentions [Chorus] [Verse 2] Pretty lady, I heard about your status You're lookin' for the boy, whose pockets are the fattest And, I also know about your bad reputation The things you so, inside of a relationship Behind their backs, you use and abuse them But in the face you say that you love them 'til one day prince charming comes along You say to yourself you won't do nothing wrong Saw your opportunity, decided, to grab it But first things first, you kicked your bad habit Told your best friend you had the perfect life But what can never go wrong, never will sound right You see this guy that you're with is what like you used to be He takes a lover undercover, destroyed your dignity It used to be a joke but now the table's turned You're the one gettin' dissed, so I hope that you learned That he was lookin' for some action, some satisfaction You thought it was, a physical attraction Then one day, you caught your lover out there When you asked him why he did it, he said he didn't care So remember next time, you wanna act crazy What comes around goes around pretty lady, lady, lady Dedicated [Chorus] [Verse 3] You got yourself a girly and you should be coolin' Tryin' to play the role, but who are you foolin? Your lady's not the one she knows about yo' schemin' Time to wake up, pal stop dreamin' Before you know it what you got gets gone You're sittin' in the room with your head down mourning Time comes, who's there it ain't your girly You said that you missed her, shoulda thought about it earlier Cause now you're all alone no one to play with No one to squeeze you easy or give your a kiss Kiddly kiddly kiss, kiddly kiddly kiss There's a lesson to be learned, I hope that you're learning Cause if you disregard it's love you will be yearning What I'm tryin' to say is this, read between the lines Don't make a commitment you can't stand behind Cause in the long run it'll only grow worse And the love that you have will turn out to be a curse You struggle witcha life, tryin' to get situated When all you had to do is chill, and stay Dedicated [Ad-lib to fade]
