[Intro: Al B. Sure]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby

Word

[Verse 1: Slick Rick]
Girl, I come to your rescue in any kind of weather
So let's take the union, me and you together
Because my heart and soul is not all I got to give
I need someone to share my fortune with
My life is empty I need more than money
So tell me how to win your heart, I love you, honey
The truth, girl, so here's your chance, honey, take it
And I might just let you see The Al B. naked

[Chorus: Al B. Sure!]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am (Tell me!)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby (Tell me!)

[Verse 2: Al B. Sure!]
I'm just a man, who comes around at night
And to leave you, girl, baby, that ain't right (Right)
You call me over, and give me sexy talk
After things are over, you tell me take a walk, girl
[Pre-Chorus: Al B. Sure]
If you think, I'm playing you too close
I just want to be the one who's loving you the most, girl
Material things don't come into my world
All I want is a one man girl

[Chorus: Al B. Sure!]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am (Tell me!)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
(If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend)
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am (Tell me!)

[Verse 3: Al B. Sure!]
Since this conversation, I'm so confused
Tell me, baby, am I being used?
Dedication is what I want
You being complicated, you know it's just a front, girl

[Pre-Chorus: Al B. Sure]
If you think, I'm playing you too close
I just want to be the one who's loving you the most, girl
Material things don't come into my world
All I want is a one man girl

[Chorus: Al B. Sure!]
If I'm not your lover (Yeah), if I'm not your friend
(If I'm not your friend)
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Just tell me, tell me, tell, tell me, tell me, just tell me)
(Tell me!)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
(If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend)
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Yo Rick, tell her how we come, Rick)
[Verse 4: Slick Rick]
Let's walk down the aisle, tell me are you ready, dear?
Please be my snuggles, I'll be your teddy bear
It's your character I like, you got a brain in your head
Wake up together and it's breakfast in bed
Our love is everlasting for you not to mention
The feelings are true when they need a little attention
For real, girl, so here's your chance, honey, take it
And I might just let you see The Al B. naked

[Chorus: Al B. Sure!]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
(If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend)
Just tell me, baby, just tell me, tell me
Just tell me, tell me
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
(If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend)
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Yo Ricky, tell it to 'em again, know what I'm sayin'?)

[Verse 5: Slick Rick]
On the real tip, I think I see the heaven above in you
I wish I could say you're strung on loving, too
Could you tell me the truth, is it B.S. you're feeding me?
I'm jealous 'cause I know that you really don't need me
Old school would say, "Here we go! Here we go!"
So help me if I fall, don't never let me go
For real, lady, so here's your chance, honey, take it
And I might just let you see The Al B. naked
[Chorus: Al B. Sure]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Tell me!)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Just what I—)

[Post-Chorus: Al B. Sure, Slick Rick]
Word
So here's your chance, honey, take it
And I might just let you see The Al B. naked

[Chorus: Al B. Sure]
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby (Just what I—)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your, your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me what I am
(Tell me!)
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your friend
Tell me, baby
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your, your friend
Tell me, baby, just tell me (Just what I—)
Just tell me what I am
If I'm not your lover, if I'm not your, your friend
Tell me, baby, just what I—

[Outro: Al B. Sure]
If I'm not your lover, ow, huh, uh-huh, ow
Bring it out
It's the Ricky, it's the Ricky, it's the Ricky, it's the Ricky, it's the Ricky, Ricky, uh
Haha, ow, uh, Rick, you did it again
I'm not mad
Hey Ricky, thanks, I'll get wit'cha
I'm outta here
Peace
