Oh, yes, you do now. Do you think I can afford to give you my love? Oh, yeah. You think you're higher than every star above. Mr. Big Stuff, who do you think you are?

I can be your wake up reason daily. You can be my first and leading lady. I'ma make you happy that you waited for me to settle down. Oh, oh. I'm ready, and I'm not afraid to say it. I'm tired of the game, already played it. I'm over all 'em other girls I dated. I tell you what you are. You're my diamond girl. You're the one I put the rock on. You're my diamond girl. You're the one that I quit the game for. [BRIGHT MUSIC] [MUSIC - EVE & GWEN STEFANI, "LET ME BLOW YA MIND"] WOMAN: Some boys-- you know they is how they is. This tune a deadly one.

Why this, why that, lips stop askin'. Listen to me, baby, relax and start passin'. Express way, hair back, weaving through the traffic. This one strong, should be labeled as a hazard. Some of y'all niggas hot, psych, I'm gassin'. Clowns, I spot 'em and I can't stop laughing. Easy come, easy go. EV gon' be lastin'. Jealousy, let it go. Results could be tragic.
