리믹스
[Intro: Mr. Biggs][5]
Yeah Kelly, you there?
Now, listen baby
I got your message
I'm just confused
I don't understand everything but
I'm on my way over there to you
Now you stay on the phone
And tell me everything that went down

[Verse 1: Kelly and (Mr. Biggs)]
See I was the one
Who picked her up when so called friends let her down
(Uh huh)
And I was the one
Who took her in when that fool put her out
(I know)
Yeah, a true friend indeed
You see I was there when chips was going down
(You know I know)
Um, but she betrayed me
Caught him with her coming in from out of town
(You WHAT?!)
Tell me why? (Aww, SHIT!)

[Chorus: Kelly and (Mr. Biggs)]
Why ya ya, (Whyyy?) why yah yah
Why yah yah, why yah yah
I wanna know
Why yah yah, why yah yah (Why, baby?!)
Why yah yah, why yah yah

[Verse 2: Kelly and (Mr. Biggs)]
Now I put my trust in him
I can't believe he slept with her behind my back (Oh)
I went out on a limb
I even covered up to keep his thing in tact (Yeah)
Um.. what I had in me, yeah
Was something real that's so hard to come about, Uh
(Oh, oh)
But he betrayed me
There was a photo in some laundry that I found
Tell me why

[Chorus: Kelly and (Mr. Biggs)]
Why ya ya, (Whyyy?) why yah yah
Why yah yah, why yah yah
I put all my trust in you, baby
Why yah yah, why yah yah (Ooh, why?!)
Why yah yah, why yah yah

[Bridge]
She was my best friend
(oh yeah, oh yeah)
Hung with me through thick and thin
(My homey, my homey)
Sisters to the very end
(And I)
I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it

He was everything to me
(Everything to me, baby)
Now out the door he's history
(Oh now ya gotta go on)
We could've had everything
(And I)
I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it

[Interlude]
Mr. Biggs: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Kelly: Why, why, why
Mr. Biggs: Why

Kelly: Can't believe I trusted you

Mr. Biggs: Kelly, let me call him up

Kelly: No, no, no, no

Mr. Biggs: And just talk to him

Kelly: There's nothing to say
Because it's too late, oh

Mr. Biggs: Oh, I know it, but it's just the principle
About the whole thing, oh
I'm your Godfather
And I can't stand for nobody to hurt you, baby

Kelly: No, no, no, no

Mr. Biggs: So just call him up

Kelly: I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Mr. Biggs: Call him baby, call him right now

Kelly: I'm callin', I'm callin', I'm callin'

Mr. Biggs: Call him up.....

R. Kelly: Hello? Who's this?

Mr. Biggs: This is Mr. Biggs

R. Kelly: How ya doin' Mr. Biggs

Mr. Biggs: What the hell is going on?

R. Kelly: What you mean what's goin' on?

Mr. Biggs: Kelly's telling me
That you're sleeping with another woman

R. Kelly: Just because she sees me wit her
Doesn't mean I'm sleeping wit her

Mr. Biggs: Well, if you're not sleepin' with her
What the hell you doin' with her

R. Kelly: Damn, I could be just talkin' to her

Mr. Biggs: Or you could be just creepin' with her
Now son, man to man, we both know the game

R. Kelly: Yeah, but what's that got to.....

Mr. Biggs: Wait a minute
And you know all about heartache and pain
This is my Goddaughter
And I'm just trying to protect her heart

Kelly: Don't waste your time

Mr. Biggs: You may have been a moon to her
But to me she's the star, oh

[Chorus]
Why ya ya, why ya ya

[Outro]
Kelly: Why, why

Mr. Biggs: Kelly, take this phone!

[Kelly]
She was my best friend
You were my husband
Oh, but I don't want you
No, no, no more
Said I don't want you
No, no, no, no more
See you shaped and molded me
To be what you wanted me to be
She was a leaf in your life
But I was the root to your tree, oh

[Intro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh
Oh-whoa

[Chorus]
She was a friend of mine (Yeah-yeah)
She left with my man (Why, why, why?)
She lied (Yeah-yeah), cheated (Oh, lord), took all I had (She was, yeah)
She was a friend of mine (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
She used what she knew (I don't know why)
She lied (Yeah), cheated (Ooh-oh), and left me confused

[Verse 1]
I feel so lost
Don't know why this has happened to me, ooh
My closest friend
I never would have thought it could be
You were someone
Someone I really thought I could trust
But my man, you laid, and I'm betrayed

[Chorus]
She was a friend of mine (Yeah-yeah, hey)
She left with my man (No, you lied)
She lied (And cheated), cheated (Oh-oh), took all I had (You were my friend)
She was a friend of mine (Yeah, yeah-yeah, mm-mm)
She used what she knew (Oh-oh)
She lied (You lied), cheated (Yes, you did), and left me confused

[Verse 2]
Thicker than blood
Wherever there was me, there was you, ooh
My all was your all
But that wasn't enough for you
You had to see
And try to walk a mile in my shoes
In my head, in my bed
Betrayed by my best friend

[Chorus]
She was a friend of mine (Oh, yeah-yeah)
She left with my man (Oh-ooh)
She lied (You lied), cheated (You cheated), took all I had (Yeah-yeah, oh-ooh)
She was a friend of mine (My closest friend)
She used what she knew (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
She lied (You lied), cheated (And cheated), and left me confused (And oh, I wanna know why)

[Bridge]
(Why?)
You were my friend (Why?)
I gave you all I had (Why?)
Everything, everything that you'd want (Why?)
Oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-whoa (Why?)
You were my friend (Why?)
Oh, my sister (Why?)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Why?)

[Chorus]
She was a friend of mine (Oh, you were, you were, you were)
She left with my man (How could you do this to me?)
She lied (Yeah-yeah), cheated (Yeah-yeah-yeah), took all I had (You were)
She was a friend of mine (My best friend, yeah-yeah yeah)
She used what she knew (And everything that you needed)
She lied (I gave you), cheated (Everything), and left me confused (Oh-whoa)
She was a friend of mine (Yeah-yeah)
She left with my man (You left me alone)
She lied (You lied), cheated (You cheated, yeah), took all I had (Every little thing I had)
She was a friend of mine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
She used what she knew (You used all you knew)
She lied (You liar), cheated (And you're a cheater), and left me confused (You, whoa)
She was a friend of mine (How could you do it, how could you do it?)
She left with my man (Yeah-yeah-yeah yeah)
She lied (You're a liar), cheated (And you're a cheater), took all I had (Hey-hey-hey yeah)
She was a friend of mine (You were my friend, yeah-yeah yeah)
