[Verse 1:]
|
Baby take a seat
|
Got something I wanna say to you
|
Before things get crazy
|
I'm a need to let out the truth
|
I wanna tell you, no I have to tell you
|
I gotta let this out before he do
|
And before you say a word
|
I'm a need your undivided please
|
Until I'm finish just try not to say a thing
|
Ooh in a way it's just so complicated
|
To fix my mouth and say these words to you
|
|
[Pre-Chorus:]
|
See it's not what you thinking
|
So don't jump to conclusions
|
And it's really not that bad
|
Don't wanna cause confusion
|
Put you self in my position
|
Just hear me out and listen
|
Understand my condition
|
Got to let you know
|
So here I go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Before you were my man
|
I was chilling with this guy I knew
|
Before you were my man
|
Didn't know that he know you
|
You should understand (yeah)
|
No more circumstance(oh woah)
|
Didn't know he was your friend
|
Before you were my man
|
|
I met him at this party
|
Sitting at the bar he
|
Walked right up to me (yeah)
|
Bought me some bacardi
|
Caught up in the moment
|
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
|
Don't know how it happened
|
But this was all before
|
You were my man
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Now that I confessed
|
I think that I should
|
Explain myself
|
It lasted for so long
|
Swear that it was nothing else
|
Just take a minute
|
To take it all in
|
Even though it's hard for you to do
|
I can tell that your upset
|
By the look you have upon your face
|
Let me apologize
|
For taking so long to say
|
That your best friend (huh)
|
He was my man
|
I know it's hard for you to understand
|
|
[Pre-Chorus:]
|
See it's not what you thinking
|
So don't jump to conclusions
|
And it's really not that bad
|
Don't wanna cause confusion
|
Put you self in my position (yeah)
|
Just hear me out and listen (oh no no no)
|
Understand my condition
|
Got to let you know
|
So here I go (before)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Before you were my man
|
I was chilling with this guy I knew (guy I knew)
|
Before you were my man
|
Didn't know that he know you (you)
|
You should understand (yeah)
|
No more circumstance(oh woah)
|
Didn't know he was your friend (friend)
|
Before you were my man (man)
|
|
I met him at this party
|
Sitting at the bar he
|
Walked right up to me (yeah)
|
Bought me some bacardi
|
Caught up in the moment (caught up in the moment)
|
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
|
(I was feeling lonely)
|
Don't know how it happened
|
But this was all before
|
You were my man
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Yeah I know
|
It's crazy (baby)
|
Now when we come around
|
You think about what went down
|
You should have known
|
Cause when we would come through
|
I would up and leave the room
|
Avoiding the truth
|
Before
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Before you were my man
|
I was chilling with this guy I knew
|
Before you were my man
|
Didn't know that he know you
|
You should understand (yeah)
|
No more circumstance(oh woah)
|
Didn't know he was your friend
|
Before you were my man
|

|
Bought me some bacardi (oh yeah)
|
Caught up in the moment (I was feeling lonely)
|
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
|
Don't know how it happened
|
But this was all before
|
You were my man (my man my man my man oh ooh)
|
|
[Talking:]
|
You it's crazy I had to tell you this way
|
But it started to get obvious when he came around
|
I'm glad I got this off my chest and I hope it doesn't change anything between us
