I don't understand
You look just like the man
In the picture by our bed
The suspense is pounding and clouding up my head
I'm checkin' your clothes
And you wear the same size shoe
You sleep in his spot
And you're driving his car
But I don't know just who you are
Chorus:
There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say you are
You gotta be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house
I'm not sure who you are
Don't see your shadow around when you walk
Ain't leavin' no kisses
Goodbye with no words
If these walls could talk
They would have nothing to tell
So what could it be?
Is there someone imitating me?
Could she be taking my place?
Look me in the face
And tell me that I'm wrong
When I say
Chorus
Pop quiz
Tell me where we first kissed
Tell me where my spot is
Tell me if I liked it, loved it
Or could it be
That the stranger is me
Have I changed so drastically?
Is it I want more for me?
And you remain the same
Chorus
Why you got an attitude?
Why you actin' all foolish?
When you see me out in the street, boy
You wanna embarrass me, call me names, slap my face until
Until you see my friends come
Then you wanna try to console me
But they already know boy
'Cause for the last week I've been in the house
And I've cried and cried
Chorus:
I can't go for that, no no (No can do)
I can't go for that, no no (No can do)
I can't go for that, no no (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that
Now you bring me flowers
You say you got it together
Soon as I let my guard down
Oh, there you go again in my grill 'til I call the cops then
Then you wanna chill out and say
I'm the one who's buggin'
But, no no, it's you, you see (No no, it's you, you see)
Every time I go out you come grabbin' all over me
I can't go for that, no no (I can't)
I can't go for that, no no (No no no no)
I can't go for that, no no (I can't go for that)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that
Why you trippin'?
Get your hands off me (Get 'em off me)
Why you illin'?
I'm supposed to be
Your nubian queen (Your nubian, oh baby your nubian)
Why you trippin'? (Ooh yeah)
Get your hands off me
Why you illin'? (Why? Why? Why?)
I'm supposed to be
Your nubian queen (I'm supposed to be your nubian queen)
I can't go for that, no no (Puttin' ya hands on me)
I can't go for that, no no (Always tryin' to disrespect me)
I can't go for that, no no (No no)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that
(No, no, no)
Yeah yeah
I can't go for that, that, that
Chorus:
What makes us do
The things we do?
That keeps me lovin' you
Imagination
And when you're in need and got nobody.
Imagination sets you free, free
Everything you want is real close when you close your eyes
And the things you think about the most, they come to life
When your relationship is headed for the rocks
You gotta use your imagination to get you back on top
Chorus
It's the place you look, when you wanna have some fun
You see it, see it, before it's done, uh-huh
Imagine you and me, and how it could be
Exploring new ideas, and once we'll keep this lovin' real
When you get lonely
It'll make you get to a phone and tell me how much you want me
And when, you've had a bad day
A little bit of imagination goes a long way
Chorus (3 x's)
