[Verse 1: Nelly]
So they sayyyyy, she's a bad girl
Some say she's a bitch, she's a liar
And fucking with her is like playing with fire
And so I'll sayyyyy (so I'll say), hey that's my girl (that's my girl)
And I'ma be the one that's gonna make her better
And you gonna' always see the two of us together (yeah)
'Cause when I'm going through some things, I
Know that she's my day, light
In the middle of the darkness I can see things clearly
Because she's near me, yeahhhhhh

[Chorus: Nelly]
Ain't no way I'm letting her go
See I've been warned by everyone around me
She gonna' be the death of me, oh yeah
But ain't no way I'm letting her go, noooo
See all the money in this world
Mean nothing without her, nothing without her, yeahhhh

[Verse 2: Nelly]
So they sayyyyy, she's a problem
It ain't nothing 'cause I'm known to be a solver
And I ain't worried 'bout what other people call her
So I'll sayyyyy (so I'll say), I tamed a wild one (I tamed a wild one)
I ain't saying I can make nobody perfect
But I can really see what's underneath the surface (yeah)
'Cause when I look deep in her eyes, I
See there's love inside, I
Wanna be the one to show her, that I'm truly devoted
She's gonna know it, yeahhh so

[Chorus: Nelly]
Ain't no way I'm letting her go
See I've been warned by everyone around me
She gonna' be the death of me, oh yeah
But ain't no way I'm letting her go, noooo
See all the money in this world
Mean nothing without her, nothing without her, yeahhhh

[Bridge: Nelly]
Let me be the reason, baby, let me be the cause
Let me be the only one you let up in your heart
Let me be the picture, that's sitting in your frame
Let me be your lover, I'll let you be the same
Let me be the reason, baby, let me be the cause
Let me be the only one you let up in your heart
Let me be the picture, that's sitting in your frame
Let me be your lover, I'll let you be the same

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus: Nelly]
Ain't no way I'm letting her go
See I've been warned by everyone around me
She gonna' be the death of me, oh yeah
But ain't no way I'm letting her go, noooo
See all the money in this world
Mean nothing without her, nothing without her, yeahhhh
