[Chorus 1]
[Am]Say my name, say my name[F]
If no one is a[Dm]round you
Say baby I [G]love you
If [E]you ain't runnin' [Am]game
Say my name, say my [F]name
You actin' kinda [Dm]shady
Ain't callin' me [G]baby
[E]Why the sudden [Am]change
Say my name, say my [F]name
If no one is a[Dm]round you
Say baby I [G]love you
If [E]you ain't runnin' [Am]game
Say my name, say my [F]name
You actin' kinda [Dm]shady
Ain't callin' me [G]baby
[E]Better say my

[Verse 1]
[Am](name) Any other day
I would [F]call and you would say
[Dm]Baby how's your day
But to[G]day, it ain't the [E]same
[Am]Every other word
Is "uh- [F]huh" yeah "okay"
[Dm]Could it be that you
Are at the [G]crib with another la[E]dy
[Am]If you took it there
First of [F]all, let me say
[Dm]I am not the one
To sit a[G]round, and be [E]played
So [Am]prove yourself to me
I'm the [F]girl that you claim
Why [Dm]don't you say the thangs
That you [G]said to me yester[E]day

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [Am]know you say that I am assuming things
[F]Something's going down
that's the way it seems
[Dm]Shouldn't be the reason
why you're acting strange
If [G]nobody's holding you [E]back from me
'Cause [Am]I know how you usually do
When you [F]say everything to me times two
[Dm]Why can't you just tell the truth
If [G]somebody's there then [E]tell me who

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Say my name, say my name[F]

Ain't callin' me [G]baby
[E]Why the sudden [Am]change

[Verse 2]
[Am](name) What is up with this
Tell the [F]truth, who you with
How [Dm]would you like it if
I came [G]over with my [E]clique
Don't [Am]try to change it now
See [F]you gotta bounce
When [Dm]two seconds ago
You said you [G]just got in the [E]house
It's [Am]hard to believe that you
Are at [F]home, by yourself
When [Dm]I just heard the voice
Heard the [G]voice of someone [E]else
[Am]Just this question why
Do you [F]feel you gotta lie
Gettin' [Dm]caught up in your game
When you [G]can not say my [E]name

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [Am]know you say that I am assuming things
[F]Something's going down
that's the way it seems

'Cause [Am]I know how you usually do
When you [F]say everything to me times two
