Gotta keep it on the down low

I'll never let my mama know

Only call him on my cell phone

Only see him after dark

I met him on the six train

Just the way he said my name

The brother had a lot of game

Had me open from the start

He scoops me up in his ride

Friday about a quarter to nine

So fly and so fine, and I'm so glad that he's all mine

There's a thug in my life

How am I gonna tell my mama?

She's gonna say it ain't right, but he's so good to me

There's a thug in my life

And it's gonna cause crazy drama

I'm gonna see him tonight

I'm gonna give him everything

I know his crew's kinda shady

Sometimes it gets kinda crazy

But he treats me like a lady

Gives me everything I need

I don't care who's hating on me

'Cause every night, he's waiting on me

He's got mad personality, a side they never see

My friends tell me to slow down

But every time that he's around

My heart's on lock down

I feel love and I'm so proud

There's a thug in my life

How am I gonna tell my mama?

She's gonna say it ain't right, but he's so good to me (So good to me)

There's a thug in my life

And it's gonna cause crazy drama

I'm gonna see him tonight

I'm gonna give him everything (Give him everything)

T-H-U-G in ya life, baby

One in a million, that's what you are to me

And I know your friends say I'm rough

But I still got the tender touch just to make you giggle and blush

But ya mom does not approve of us

She needs to be a lot more understanding

'Cause all I have for you is thug loving

And loving, that's all I'm giving

Mama, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry

I won't disappoint you, I won't make you sorry

He's the one for me (He's all I ever need)

We'll be together from now 'til forever

I know it's the real thing

If you don't, whatever

And I know it's meant to be

I know it's meant to be

I know it's meant to be

There's a thug in my life

How am I gonna tell my mama? (How am I gonna tell my mama?)

She's gonna say it ain't right, but he's so good to me (Yeah)

There's a thug in my life

And it's gonna cause crazy drama

I'm gonna see him tonight

I'm gonna give him everything (Give him all of me)

Mama, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry (All of me)

I won't disappoint you, I won't make you sorry
