He only plays for you
He lets me watch the way he moves
And I can see it on his face
Desire burning like a furnace

Aaliyah, please don't take my man
Although you know that you can
I've never a met a boy so true
But there's this something that you do

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl? (4x)

Another poor excuse
Another (?) truth
And I'm so tired of pretending
I don't believe I'm in defending
All I want is this

Woman to woman, a promise
Give me your word that you will free him
No more games and your teasing

Aaliyah, please
This is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl? (4x)

With every move you make
You know you've got him transfixed
But you can't get pass me, Aaliyah
I won't fall for your tricks
There's no stopping him
As the beat rolls on
I watch from afar
And watch you sing along (2x)

And watch you sing along

Why can't he play a song for me?
