Congratulations baby, it's been a while |
|
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine |
|
I hate to say this baby but I think you should know |
|
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go |
|
I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet |
|
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me |
|
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously |
|
You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost |
|
For walking out on me |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
It coulda been you loving me |
|
It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be |
|
It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week |
|
And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me |
|
So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines |
|
You're tryin' to break down my defense |
|
So you can tell me one more lie |
|
But I ain't hearin' you baby |
|
'Cause you caused me pain |
|
This time you've gone too far |
|
And now you lost it all in vain |
|
You say you love me but I find it hard to believe |
|
It didn't take that long for you to get over me |
|
Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me |
|
But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in |
|
[Chorus x 2] |
|
I hear she's got you all stressed out |
|
It cost you a fortune just to take her out |
|
You say that she's takin' you for a ride |
|
I coulda told you so |
|
If I had my choice I would be with you |
|
But you could've done much better too |
|
And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love |
|
[Repeat chorus to fade] |
