New Monica
Yup, hot shit
Woo, woo-hoo!

[Verse 1: Monica]
First time I saw ya face, I must admit
It broke my heart to know you had another chick
I know you won't believe I made this up
But I saw her last night leaving with another dude at the club

[Pre-Chorus 1: Monica]
And I always knew one day
That she would hurt ya
But please, don't shed a tear
Because baby, she don't deserve you

[Chorus: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
And ooh, if you be my man
I treat you betta than she ever can
She's gonna break your heart (Let's go)
I can give you all the love
She don't give you, baby
And I promise that you won't miss her
When I am ya lady

[Post-Chorus: Monica]
And I betcha (Betcha)
Betcha (Betcha), betcha (Betcha)
I can love you betta (Betta)
Betta (Betta), betta (Betta), ooh, yeah

[Verse 2: Monica]
Now that she's out the way
Boy, we can share
Just gimme your heart
I promise I'll take good care

[Pre-Chorus 2: Monica]
I can give it to ya, lemme give it to ya
I can make ya look betta
I can give it to ya, lemme give it to ya
I can do ya much betta, baby

[Chorus: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
Ooh, if you be my man
I treat you betta than she ever can
She's gonna break your heart (Here we go)
I can give you all the love
She don't give you, baby
And I promise that you won't miss her
When I am ya lady

[Post-Chorus: Monica]
And I betcha (Betcha)
Betcha (Betcha), betcha (Betcha)

Betta (Betta), betta (Betta), ooh, yeah

[Bridge: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
See, baby, she can't love you like I do
She just a chick tryna be like me
You wanna go and hang around all dem crazy fools
'Cause in ya face she shake a booty
See, baby, that's not I, I'm a classy girl
Guaranteed boy, to rock ya world
So letta go, letta go, I'm just lettin' ya know
I'm not a hoe, call me a black girl (Bring it back)

[Pre-Chorus: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
Ooh, if you be my man
I treat you better than she ever can
She's gonna break your heart (Come on)

She don't give you, baby
And I promise that you won't miss her
