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 6 train, just the way he said my name 
The brotha had a lot a game and he opened from the start 
He scoops me up in his ride, Friday about a quarter to 9 
So fly and so fine, and I'm so glad that he's all mine 

There's a thug in my life, how'ma gonna tell my mama 
She 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 is 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 everytime that he's around 
My heart don't lock down, I feel love and I'm so proud 

There's a thug in my life, how'ma gonna tell my mama 
She 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 

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 that tender touch just to make u 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
We'll be together from now 'till forever 
I know it's the real thing if you don't whatever 
And I know it's meant to be 

There's a thug in my life, how'ma gonna tell my mama 
She 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 

Mama dont worry, I'm not in a hurry 
I won't disappoint you, I won't make you sorry
