I Can Tell - Lyrics by Monifah


Lyrics

[intro]
Ah, it feels good
Oh don't, don't go there
Heh heh, you're not foolin' me
Listen

By the way you dress
By the way you talk
By the friends you keep
The benz you bought
How you treat ya ex
How you treat your child
I peeped your style from half a mile

Would you think of me
Sleep with someone else
Would ya take the time and protect yourself
How you lied to her
Would ya lie to me
I can tell if it's meant to be

1 - i can tell when guys are all the same
I can tell it when they're playing games
I can tell what kind of guy you are
I can tell it, i can tell it

I can tell what you really want
I can tell it when it's all a front
Gotta know before i go too far
I can tell it, i can tell it

Would you raise your hand
Would you raise your voice
Do you act brand new in front of your boys
Did you finish school or did you drop out
Have you opened up a bank account
Cause if i hang out at the end of the week
Do i detect a jealuos streak
Do you go for self
Or you aim to please
Cause i can tell from what i see

Repeat 1

Boy i can see what you try to conceal
And boy i can tell when you're keeping it real
If i'm gonna love you
I gotta see straight to your heart

Repeat 1 until end
