[Verse 1]
Lately I've been throwing hints around there, I've been tryna get you to
Ooh, tryna get you to talk about it, what do I gotta do to
To get you to see (See) them other dudes, they ain't me?
They wanna show you the same thing you already seen
I know you got another try in ya, oh, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Girl, I know your other man must have hurt you so, baby (So, baby)
Tell me why you got me on hold, baby (Oh)
Can you just give me the chance (Give me the chance)
I should've had before, baby? (Oh, baby)
Give it a chance, girl (Uh), one more gin (Uh-huh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Whatever happened before you had me, girl, that don't matter no more (Oh)
And I don't want to lie and say I'ma take it away when I know I won't
Girl, I know I can make you forget about him, I can show you how to live, live without him
I go hard in the paint, girl, it ain't what you think
Please believe it I can do it, oh, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, baby (Oh)
Girl, I know your other man (I know your other man didn't do you) must have hurt you so, baby (But girl, it wasn't me, oh)
Tell me why you got me on hold, baby (Why you keeping me waiting?)
Can you just give me the chance
I should've had before, baby? (Oh)
Give it a chance, girl (Hey, hey), one more gin (Oh)

[Bridge]
I know you've heard it all before so, baby, I'ma just get right to it
And if you let it flow, I'll give it to you
And make you see that, that I'm what you need in your life
Let me show you how to do it right

[Chorus]
Oh, baby (Oh)
Girl, I know your other man (Girl, I know your other man) must of hurt you so, baby (He must have hurt you before, but baby, I know it won't happen, I'm old)
Girl, tell me why you got me on hold, baby (Hold, baby)
Can you just give me the chance
I should've had before, baby? (I should've had before)
Give it a chance, girl, one more gin
Oh, baby (Girl)
Girl, I know your other man must of hurt you so, baby
Why you got me on hold, baby?
Can you just give me the chance I should've had before, baby?
Give it a chance, girl, one more gin

Chris Brown

Grammy-winning R&B singer, rapper, dancer, graffiti artist, illustrator and the first male lead artist to have his debut single top the Billboard Hot 100 in 8 years with “Run It!” in 2005, Breezy is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist. To add to this, he is the father of Royalty, a princess and the inspiration for his 7th studio album Royalty.

It’s undeniable his ability as a musician, dancer, and all-round entertainer. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (February 12th, 2012) his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. won the award for Best R&B Album and a huge number of other awards and nominations ranging from his debut as a 16 year old in 2005 to his most recent projects.

Brown’s career is long-lived, pristine and all about his music with hits such as “Look At Me Now,” “Turn Up the Music,” and “Loyal,” and successful collaborations with Omarion on his hit “Post to Be” and Lil Dicky's “Freaky Friday” in recent years.
