[Intro: Keith Sweat & Dave Hollister]
Yeah
Y'all don't hear me, no no
Yeah yeah, yeah
Listen (yeah)
Listen

[Verse 1: Dave Hollister]
Got a house on the hill
Ten cars in your driveway
And you never seem to look my way
'Cause I could feel your pain

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Hollister]
(So you got a college degree)
You might have a PHD
(So you drive a GS3)
But it don't matter to me
(Every night you cry yourself to sleep)
Mmm, 'cause you're so lonely

[Chorus: Keith Sweat & Dave Hollister]
You may have money
You may have cars
But you ain't had shit
'Til you've been in my arms
(You don't have a thing)
Still you don't have me
Baby

[Interlude: Dave Hollister]
Keith, where you at?
Help me sing

[Verse 2: Keith Sweat]
So you got a private jet
A Bentley Coupe you ain't even drove yet
Every day you go home alone, yes you do
I know it's wrong, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Keith Sweat]
(So you got a college degree)
So you got a PHD
(So you drive a GS3)
(Every night you cry yourself to sleep)
Cry yourself, alright, 'cause you're so lonely

[Chorus: Keith Sweat & Dave Hollister]
You may have money
You may have cars
But you ain't had shit
'Til you've been in my arms
(You don't have a thing)
Still you don't have me
Baby

[Bridge: Keith Sweat & (Dave Hollister)]
I'm gon' make you say ooh (make you say, make you say)
I'm gon' make you say ahh (make you say, make you say)
I'm gon' make you say yeah (yes, yes, yes, yes, ahh)

[Pre-Chorus: Keith Sweat & (Dave Hollister)]
You may have (you may have)
Ten cars in your driveway
Don't mean a thing girl (ain't gon' mean a thing)
'Til you been in my arms
But still you don't have me, baby
See you got the pretty Benz

[Chorus: Keith Sweat & Dave Hollister]
You may have money
You may have cars
But you ain't had shit
'Til you've been in my arms
(You don't have a thing)
Still you don't have me
Baby

[Bridge: Keith Sweat & (Dave Hollister)]
I'm gon' make you say ooh (make you say, make you say)
I'm gon' make you say ahh (make you say, make you say)
I'm gon' make you say yeah (yes, yes, yes, yes, ahh)
Do you hear me girl?

[Chorus: Keith Sweat & Dave Hollister]
You may have money
You may have cars
But you ain't had shit
'Til you've been in my arms
(You don't have a thing)
Still you don't have me
Baby

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
