Step In The Arena Lyrics - 1991
Verse 1
Strangely enough i've been struck
Affected by her smile
And yo, her style is worthwhile
And knowing that i'm deep like a river
I feel i should give her
Things that those others can't deliver
Contrary to what i had wished
It seems that i've been dissed
But hey, i don't want to miss this
Wonderful opportunity
My boys they try schoolin' me
But see i know what i want
Someone who'll be there for the whole nine
This honey is so fine
But now she's hung up the line
Upset because i told her i'm busy
She made like a grizzly
And started chewin' my head off
Screamin' that i spend more time with friends
And also, she said i ruined her weekend
I said "i know the stuff we had planned
But please understand
Right now i'm loungin' with my man"
I guess i didn't realize i'd hurt her
She said i had the nerve to
Just neglect her like that
Then she started bringing up past things
And she kept asking
How come our love isn't lasting
I said, "hey baby, please calm down
Cuz i'm still around
And it's for you that my heart pounds
Can i call you later on?
You say i treat you wrong?
But why you flippin' on me?"
She said something else and then click
Left me alone on the phone with the tone
And now i'm lovesick
Verse 2
Relationships can grip with the pain
Arguments in the crib, in the streets, on the train
I'm crazy fed but then still
When she ain't there i feel sad, i feel ill
Frowning cuz i'm down in the dumps
The other night i took her out
So she could shake her rump
But after we were there for a few
Some girls that i knew
Stepped up and asked me to come to
A party they were havin' at their house
I looked at my girl, and yo, she started walkin' out
I said "hey love, just wait for a second
And won't you just check it?
It's all a part of makin' records
Those were just some friends in the business
No need to get angry
So listen up while i kick this
And what about the things we discussed
About havin' trust?
What's all this attitude stuff?
Now hon, you know that i wouldn't play you
But time after time, you let your jealousy sway you
Hey don't you turn your back like that
Come on, this is wack
You're heated up like a thermostat"
Then she stepped off in a whirlwind
And i don't know when
Or if i'm gonna see her again
I coulda sworn she was the right one to pick
But now...man i'm just lovesick
