Aaliyah Lyrics by Katy B

Little Red

2014

[Verse 1: Katy B]
He only plays for you
He likes to watch the way you move
And I can see it on his face
Desire burning like a furnace
Aaliyah, please don't take my man
Although you know that you can
I never met a boy so true
But there's just something that you do

[Chorus: Katy B]
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, oh this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

[Verse 2: Jessie Ware]
Another poor excuse
Another bending round the truth
And I'm so tired of pretending
I don't believe in the defend here
All I want is this
Woman to woman, no promise
Give me your word that you will free him
No more games and all your teasing

[Chorus: Katy B & Jessie Ware]
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?
Aaliyah, please, oh this is green envy
Why must you taunt me, girl?

[Verse 3: Katy B & Jessie Ware]
With every move you make
You know you've got him transfixed
But you can't get past me, Aaliyah
I won't fall for your tricks
There's no stopping him
As the beat rolls on
I watch from afar
And watch you sing along
With every move you make
You know you've got him transfixed
But you can't get past me, Aaliyah
I won't fall for your tricks
There's no stopping him
As the beat rolls on
I watch from afar
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh
And watch you sing along, ahh

[Outro: Katy B]
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
Why can't he play a song for me?
