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
