If U Were the GirlMonica

[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
Let's kick a little something
For all 'dem cars out there that be ballin'
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Mo, what's up?

[Chorus: Monica]
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'?
If you were the girl, would you deal with long stress, heartache
All the nights you would wait for the phone ring? is it fair?
If you were the girl, would you be a rider?
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around?

[Verse 1: Monica]
Could you deal with me
Comin' home every night when I want to?
And when you ask where I've been
I just give you the same excuse
Knowing that I was up in the club with my girls
Like I ain't got a curfew
Smelling like liquor
Shy 'cause you still sittin' up
Now could you deal with that
If you was the girl?

[Chorus: Monica]
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'?
If you were the girl, would you deal with long stress, heartache
All the nights you would wait for the phone ring? is it fair?
If you were the girl, would you be a rider?
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around?

[Verse 2: Monica]
Or would you start an argument?
Or just let it all ride?
And get some sleep tonight
And then bring it up soon as you open your eyes
'Cause it's been on your mind
But I can do a whole story why I was late
Hoping you believe me
And this don't make you up and want leave me
Can you take all this and still love me?

[Chorus: Monica]
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'?
If you were the girl, would you deal with long stress, heartache
All the nights you would wait for the phone ring? is it fair?
If you were the girl, would you be a rider?
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around?

[Bridge: Monica]
I'm down with you, baby
I'll ride for the cause (The cause)
Even through all the stress
You still my dawg
And if anything should happen to you, I'm right there
You know all you gotta do is call (Oh, whoa, whoa)
I'm down with you, baby
I'll ride for the cause (The cause)
Even through all the stress
You still my dawg
And if anything should happen to you, I'm right there (Right there)
You know all you gotta do is call (Oh, whoa, whoa)

[Chorus: Monica]
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'? (Would you stay down?)
If you were the girl, would you deal with (And put me through)
Long stress, heartache, all the nights
You would wait for the phone ring? Is it fair? (Why?)
If you were the girl, would you be a rider? (Would you be a rider)
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around? (While I play around)
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'?
If you were the girl, would you deal with long stress, heartache
All the nights (Oh-oh)
You would wait for the phone ring? Is it fair? (Why?)
If you were the girl, would you be a rider?
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around?
(No, you wouldn't and you know it)
If you were the girl, would you stay trippin'? (Oh, whoa, whoa)
If you were the girl, would you deal with
Long stress, heartache, all the nights (You late, no no no)
You would wait for the phone ring? Is it fair?
If you were the girl, would you be a rider?
If you were the girl, could you still try to work it out, talk it out?
Would you stay around while I play around? (No no no no)
