[Verse 1: R. Kelly & Usher]
Yo, Ush (What up, Kells?)
Wanna introduce you to this girl
Think I really love this girl (Yeah?)
Man, she's so fine (Straight up, dawg)
She stands about 5'4", Coca Cola, red bone (Damn)
She drives a black Durango (Hmm?)
License plate say Angel (What?)
Tattoo on her ankle, plus, she's making pesos
Got a crib on Peachtree (Peachtree?), right on 17th Street (Huh?)
And I call her TeTe (Wait a minute, hold on, dawg)
Do she got a kid? (Yup)
She love some Waffle House? (Yup)
Do she got a beauty mark on the left side of her mouth? (Man...)
Went to Georgia Tech? (Yup) Works for TBS? (Yup)
Man, I can't believe this shit, damn, mm
Tell me what's wrong, dog, what the hell you "damn"-ing 'bout?
I'm your homie, so just say what's on your mind
Man, I didn't know that you were talking 'bout her
So, man, you telling me you know her?
Do I know her? Like a pastor know his Word

[Chorus 1: R. Kelly, Usher & Both]
We messing with the same girl (Same girl)
The same girl
How could the love of my life
And my potential wife be the
The same girl (Same girl)
Same girl
Man I can't believe that
We've been messing with the
The same girl, the same girl
Thought she was someone I could trust
But she's been doubling up with us
U (U), K (K)
Man, we been messing with the same girl

[Verse 2: R. Kelly & Usher]
See, I met her at this party in Atlanta (Ayy, oh! Ayy)
Well I met her at this party in Chicago (Oh, oh! Oh)
She came right up to me, giving me conversation
I said "Do you got a man?"
She said "No" with no hesitation
Well, it must be a music thing 'cause she said the same to me
At a party all in my face, while I'm laughing and buying her drinks
She whispered in my ear, said "Can you take me home?"
Me too! Man, she was in the Chi singing that same song
Is that true?
And I thought it was true confessions when she said "I love you"
Man I thought her body was callingwhen she said, "I want you"
Look, I even got some pictures on my phone
Looky there, there she is with some boy shorts on, hah

[Chorus 2: R. Kelly, Usher & Both]
We messing with the same girl, the same girl
She's the apple of my eye
And my potential wife
The same girl, same girl
Man I just can't believe that we been messing 'round
With the same damn girl, oh, yeah
The same girl, same girl
Thought she was someone I could trust
But she's been doubling up with both of us
U (Ayy!), K (Ayy!)
Man, we been messing with the same girl

[Verse 3: R. Kelly & Usher]
Said she got me on a ring tone
Are you talking 'bout the pink phone?
Mm-mm, the blue one
Man, she told me that was turned off
It's obvious that she's been playing us, playing us
Ush, constantly she's been lying to us, lying to us
Don't like the way that she's been going 'bout, going 'bout
Kells, what you think that we should do about it, do about it?
Call her up at her home
She won't know I'm on the phone
Yeah, man, that's the lick
Homie, we about to bust this trick
Man, just ask her to meet up with you
And I'm going to show up too
And she won't know what to do
We'll be standing there, singing, "Same ..."

[Chorus 3: R. Kelly, Usher & Both]
The same girl, same girl
She was the apple of my eye (Blow!)
And your potential wife
The same girl, same girl
I just can't believe that
We been messing with the same girl, ooh-ooh
The same girl, the same girl
She gon' be looking so stupid when she see us together
U, K
Man, we been messing with same girl
See, she was taking flights (Yeah)
Going back and forth (Yeah)
The same girl, the same girl
I would pick her up (Ayy) at the airport (Ayy)
Man, I really can't believe
The same girl, the same girl
I can't believe it no (Hey)
The same girl, same girl

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
