I'm sure you all are masters of romance
[Verse 1 - Shakespare]
Yes, it's been a year now
And the crew is finally on town
We spotted a club in your neighborhood
And told our limo driver to stop
We walked inside [?] table [?] to be very discreet
It seemed at the bar was the same old girl
In that same old seat
I walked over to introduce myself and said:
"My name's Shakespeare
And if you come sit in my limo, baby
I'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear"
[Chorus - Mona Lisa Young]
I didn't want you then
And I don't want you now
Your money nor your fame
Can make my feelings change
You tried and you tried
But your advances I must deny
My mind can't comprehend
Being lovers before we are friends
[Verse 2 - Dr. Dre]
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
Do you remember me, the Doctor
From about this time last year?
I got a small deal that you just can't pass
So why don't you come with me tonight
And help me get rid of this cash
Let's just leave this place, baby
And hit a more comfortable atmosphere
You can pretend you're the horse
And I'll pretend I'm Paul Revere
[Chorus - Mona Lisa Young]
I didn't want you then
And I don't want you now
Your money nor your fame
Can make my feelings change
You tried and you tried
But your advances I must deny
My mind can't comprehend
Being lovers before we are friends
[Verse 3 - Yella]
Excuse me, don't i know you?
Have we met once before?
As i spotted you accross the room
Your smile i couldn't ignore
It's been twelve long months
And I'm doing extremely well, of course
Come ride with me tonight
In my convertible Porsche
I'd love to take you home
And we can visit my golden room
We can chill out on cheese and wine
As I get you in the mood
[Chorus - Mona Lisa Young]
I didn't want you then
And I don't want you now
Your money nor your fame
Can make my feelings change
You tried and you tried
But your advances I must deny
My mind can't comprehend
Being lovers before we are friends
[Verse 4 - Lonzo]
Here i am, one year later
Standing tall and much greater
As you can see, I'm freshly dressed
And dipped in the color of success
From your last rejection
My ego was scarred
And now i've turned in my playboy card
Since you know what I have done
Hopefully we can make it together, one on one
Come with me, if you dare
My life and riches you can share
We can live in the country of your choice
You can even have your own Rolls-Royce
[Chorus - Mona Lisa Young]
I didn't want you then
And I don't want you now
Your money nor your fame
Can make my feelings change
You tried and you tried
But your advances I must deny
My mind can't comprehend
Being lovers before we are friends
I didn't want you then
And I don't want you now
Your money nor your fame
Can make my feelings change
You tried and you tried
But your advances I must deny
My mind can't comprehend
Being lovers before we are friends
