Victoria Beckham - That Dude lyrics

Don't mess with that dude ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Don't mess with that dude If he's too young, some of them guys got a real big problem Startin' sh** they can't finish if you allow them To get close enough to think you can't live without them Don't mess with that dude Say the rule applies to the next type Insecurity, he's trying to control your life Tired of feeling scared, somebody gon' come along and treat you right, no Don't mess with that dude Cos he's already taken I don't give a damn what kinda plans you're makin' Even if the playa says he's plannin on shakin' Bottom line is he's still takin' so Don't mess with that dude And if you're smart you'll leave him alone He ain't even thinkin' about getting his own Not a car, not a job, not a place of his own Comfortable at his mom's tho Don't mess with that dude And if he don't wanna pay the bills he have run up then Don't mess with that dude And if he lounge at the place while you're workin'I'd a come up here Don't mess with that dude And if he lazy, trite, and jealous, and got a wife then Don't mess with that dude And if he's all of the above, I'm gonna say it twice then Don't mess with that dude Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart Don't mess with that dude And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but Don't mess with that dude If he promise you happiness but he made you cry Said he'd be true to you but he told you lies You're willin to work with him but he just won't try Don't mess with that dude And when you're on to the next Good guy, good background, good s** Kick it for a minute but if he won't take steps Pause givin you his last name, yet Don't mess with that dude If you got a man then his boys are strictly off limits If they make noise your style will be diminished Tell him where to go if he's tryin to cash his feelings, yeah Don't mess with the dude And if your man's ever weak enough to be hittin' you Recognize, real, and take in what I've given you You don't deserve it, you're worth so much more than abuse Don't mess with the dude I know the game, I know the rules now Don't mess with that dude I heard the lies, I know the truth now Don't mess with that dude I've been alone and I been misused Don't mess with that dude Now I know what I gotta do, yeah Don't mess with that dude Don't mess with that dude Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart Don't mess with that dude And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but Don't mess with that dude
