Lyrics
Now this song is goin' out to all of you players
Wanna be players, wanna be pimps
Mad daddies or whatever you call yourself
Well, you better get your game face on
'Cause this old lady told me one time and she said
"Son, you men think you know what women want, but you don't"
And then, she went on to tell me a story
And it goes something like this
All you wanna be lovers, there's somethin' you need to know
Now this old lady told me a story a long time ago
She said, "Theodis, men think they know what women want"
But the truth about the whole thing is, boy, they really don't
She said, "I had a man who thought he was the world's greatest lover "
But when you add his time up, he was just a five-minute brother
He used to squeeze it, hmm, he used to stroke it (you know, one night we was makin' love, he said)
This thing is so damn good, I wanna put it in my pipe and smoke it
She said, "Theodis, you need to know that
You can squeeze it or you can stroke it
Do any damn thing you got the notion, but you ain't done a dog gone thing
Until you stand up in it, ooh, got to stand up in it"
Now this wanna be brother who thought
He was the world's greatest lover
Stopped by my house the other day
And caught me with my part-time lover
He said, "Baby, mm, baby, why you're messin' around on me?"
I make sure your rents paid, I make sure your cable's on
Now just the other day I bought you a cell phone
Baby, ooh, baby, why you do me this way?
She said, "Theodis, men think they know what women want"
Mm, but the truth about the whole thing is, boy, they really don't
Now you can play around with it, boy, and stroke it, do any damn thing you got the notion
But you ain't did a doggone thing until you stand up in it
Now you can squeeze it, mm, and you can stroke it
But you ain't did a doggone thing until you stand up in it
Ooh, you gotta stand up in it, boy (ooh, gotta do it, baby)
Ooh, you gotta stand up in it, yes you do
Then she said that, "Now, Theodis, better get up for me like you standin' up in it"
I said, "Alright, I wouldn't do", she said, "No, no-no, go on!
Play it like you stand, you know, stand up in it"
What-what, what, stand up on it, I said, I said, "Okay, and I'm standin' up"
(Oh yeah, Theodis)
She said, "Theodis, men think they know what women want
But the truth about the whole thing is, son, they really don't"
She said, "Now you can squeeze it, mmh, and you can stroke it, but wait a minute"
But you ain't did a doggone thing until you stand up in it (ooh)
Now you can play around it with it, boy, and stroke it
Do any damn thing you got the notion
But you ain't did a doggone thing until you stand up in it
Ooh boy, you better stand up in it, yeah, oh-oh, you gotta stand up in it
You know, somebody say that you know that women got the hand
Ooh, don't you know you got the feelin', boy, every time
I don't know 'bout the woman much, fellas
I'ma tell you somethin', now you know it right, too
And the moral of this story is that
You can snap it, stroke it, love it, squeeze it, tease it
Do anythin' you wanna do with it
But you ain't did nothin' until you stand up in it
