[Verse 1]
Well, I'm trying
Yes, I'm trying just to get a line on you
Where you been? Where you been?
But I'm having trouble putting a find on you
I'm wearing thin, wearing thin
[Chorus]
Somebody else been shaking your tree
Supposed to be saving all that stuff for me
[Verse 2]
You been hiding yes, you're hiding
You've been staying out on me
Sneaking around, sneaking around
Me and you ain't working out
Just like we ought to be
You've got me down, got me down
[Chorus]
Somebody else been shaking your tree
Supposed to be saving all that stuff for me
[Instrumental Break 1:15-1:44]
[Verse 3]
I'm tired of fooling around with you
And sitting here alone
It's on my mind, it's on my mind
I think it's time for me to find
A new tree of my own
It's planting time, it's planting time
[Outro]
Anything you want to do is cool with me
I don't care who shakes your tree
