The Situation Lyrics by Bell Biv DeVoe

Hootie Mack

1993

[Intro]
Break it, break it
Break it, break it
Break it, break it
Aw, yeah
For sure shot, [?]
Hmm
Hmm

[Verse 1: Ricky Bell]
Just wait a minute, girl, there's something goin' on
Cause you've been actin' kind of strange, girl
Don't sit there and tell me everything's alright
Cause you've been away for a while

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Bell]
(You can't seem to find the right words to say it)
Hmm, if you still love me, let me know
(And you should know that I will always be there for you, girl)
Oh, girl, it's time to let your feelings show

[Chorus: Ricky Bell]
I haven't seen you for a while (Haven't seen you for a while)
And now you say you have my child (Now you say that you have my child)
Girl, even though it's been a year (Even though it's been a year)
Girl, I still want to have you near (I still want to have you)

[Verse 2: Ronnie DeVoe & (Ricky Bell)]
Reminiscing on the time we spent
[?]
You in the red silk and me in the black
Yeah, slow-dancing by the pool out back
Then I dove deep ((in between the sheets))
Thinking back, it was a trap; I should have never rode bareback
Woke up a year later, I saw you again
This time, I heard you brought a little friend (Daddy?)

[Chorus: Ricky Bell]
I haven't seen you for a while (Haven't seen you for a while)
And now you say you have my child (Now you say that you have my child)
Girl, even though it's been a year (Even though it's been a year)
Girl, I still want to have you near (I still want to have you)

[Bridge: Ricky Bell]
Girl, I want my baby, oh
Stay right here with me, yeah
You see, cause I don't want nobody else to raise my child
I'll step up, be a man
And I will do all that I can
To help you out, girl

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Bell]
(You can't seem to find the right words to say it)
Hmm, if you still love me, let me know
(And you should know that I will always be there for you, girl)
Oh, oh, yeah

[Verse 3: Mike Bivins]
Oh, shit!
Hittin' the skins and the hat pops
Pushed in the bush comes a big fat nut
Honey didn't tell me that the torch was lit (sss)
I had the fever runnin' through my body
Three days later, had to tell my hottie
Her love for me I will surely miss
I took two to the booty so I won't be dick-less

[Chorus: Ricky Bell]
I haven't seen you for a while (Haven't seen you for a while)
And now you say you have my child (Now you say that you have my child)
Well, even though it's been a year (Even though it's been a year)
Girl, I still want to have you near (I still want to have you)
I haven't seen you for a while (For a while)
And now you say you have my child (My child)
Girl, even though it's been a year (A year)
Girl, I still want to have you near
I haven't seen you for a while (Haven't seen you for a while)
And now you say you have my child (Now you say that you have my child)
Girl, even though it's been a year (Even though it's been a year)
Girl, I still want to have you near (I still want to have you)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Ricky Bell]
Haven't seen you for a while
Now you say that you have my child
Even though it's been a year
I still want to have you
Haven't seen you for a while
Now you say that you have my child
Even though it's been a year
I still want to have you
