[Verse 1]
We fell in love a year ago
Everything was fine
And then you started hangin' out late
All the time, all the time
I had to eat all alone
I had to sleep all alone
I had no one to call my own
'Til I fell in love with someone new

[Chorus]
If you love me, and I love you, baby, why
You've been duckin' me
Late at night when it gets cold
I have no one to hold
I have no one to hold, I have no one to hold me
If I love you, and you love me, baby, why
Why do I have somebody new?
Now I got two, what am I, what am I gonna do?
Tell me
What am I gonna do, baby
JoJo, help me sing it

[Verse 2]
I ran into you the other day
Everything was fine (Everything was fine)
Until I saw you hangin' out
With another guy, with another guy
I knew you had someone else
That's why I found someone else
You tryin' to play me, but I guess
I guess you seen that I wasn't goin' for that

[Chorus]
If you love me, and I love you, baby, why
Late at night when it gets cold
I have no one to hold
If I love you, and you love me, baby, why
Now I got two
What am I, what am I gonna do?

[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, tell me, baby
Oh whoa, oh whoa
What am I gonna do, baby
Yeah, oh whoa
What am I gonna do?
Baby, I gotta know
Need to know
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Baby
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
I gotta know why
What am I gonna do
Oh yeah
What am I gonna do
Oh yeah, and you know

[Chorus]
If you love me, and I love you, baby, why
Late at night when it gets cold
I have no one to hold
If I love you, and you love me, baby, why
Now I got two
What am I, what am I gonna do?

[Outro]
If you love me
Tell me why
Now I got two

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
