[Verse 1]
I knew this girl named 'Detroit Cool' that moved up in my block
At 6'2" and knee socks high, and Class of '80 rocks
She's got hips that sway for you and she's got legs that never really stop
She asked me if my momma dressed me and I do like I should
From East Delroy to 51st, I run this neighborhood
She just smiles and says to me, "I just wanna know if we're all good"

[Chorus]
She said, "Tell me once again, why would you lie to me?"
She said "Do me like you should, why won't you try for me?"
It all depends on you and where would you rather be
'Cause I got everything you want, so take me back to your expensive restaurant

[Verse 2]
You can't trust me, we won't make it, let me put you in the mood
She said, "No, no, I've been there before, you got that attitude"
You sold me out before all this and now, I'm fabulous without you

[Chorus]
"Tell me once again, why would you lie to me?"
She said "Do me like you should, why won't you try for me?"
It all depends on you and where would you rather be
'Cause I got everything you want, so take me back to your—

[Bridge]
Why did it take so long, it's all gone wrong
And I can't say what 'cause I've got everything you need
Who's says I could use the time for you to believe
[Chorus]
"Tell me once again, why would you lie to me?"
She said "Do me like you should, why won't you try for me?"
It all depends on you and where would you rather be
"Tell me once again, why would you lie to me?"
She said "Do me like you should, why won't you try for me?"
It all depends on you and where would you rather be
