nate dogg - because i got a girl lyrics

when the cats, awake
the mice will play
thats what the people say
all i know is doggs play anyways
cuz i play everyday
you do it too dont lie
soon as you're out my site
i seen you creepin by
while i was creepin mine
while i was checkin out
i saw you checkin in
i shoulda knocked you out
but i was with your friend

[x2]
because i got a girl, dont mean we can't talk
because i got a girl, dont mean i wont break you off
[x4]
(come on) come on girl let me heed it
(come on) meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded

back in the days i used to like bitches
but i tell you nowadays bitches ain't shit
and if you wonder why i say this
i've had a few bitches and bitches think they slick
runnin around, playin all my niggaz
trying to split a brother from his grip
got all these bustaz watchin me
but i tell you right now hoe, i dont slip
i'd like to give a shout out to my favorite girl
but i wont you know why, because she's a trick
and if i give a shout out to a sneaky bitch
i got to give a shout to the nigga she's sneakin with
(and all my homeys say)

[chorus x4]
because i got a girl, dont mean we can't talk
(come on girl let me heed it)
because i got a girl, dont mean i wont break you off
(meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded)
[x4]
come on girl let me heed it
meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded

cuz i have never met a girl
that i love in the whole wide world
