[00:01.02]Mariah:
[00:02.02]Oh, welcome to a day, of my life (of my life)
[00:11.95]A memoir of an imperfect angel
[00:15.95]Verse 1:
[00:16.45]It’s nine o’clock, the a.m.
[00:20.45]I get out of bed, make some coffee for him
[00:23.89]I take a shower, and take some breakfast
[00:27.64]But he don’t eat, just sittin there reading the paper
[00:31.20]I tried to talk to him, but he didn’t have much to say
[00:35.08]And then I threw some bread at him, but he did not want to play
[00:38.89]And I did that dance I know he loves to see me do
[00:42.70]If I was the sky, he’d never know that I was blue
[00:46.77]His phone rings, he looks at me and says “Excuse me”
[00:50.33]Walks in the room as if he didn’t even know me
[00:54.14]He comes back out, with a smirk on his face
[00:57.80]Puttin on his clothes, I’m like “Can we do something today?”
[01:00.98]Hook:
[01:01.23]He says “I got a meetin, it’s important, I can’t break it.”
[01:05.05]I said “But baby please” he cut me off said “I can’t make it.”
[01:09.05]He runs out the door, pulls out the driveway, but he left his suitcase
[01:14.67]Ahh, ahh, ahh ahh
[01:16.30][Chorus]
[01:16.48](I checked) the phone
[01:18.42](I checked) the calls
[01:20.48](I checked) the home
[01:22.30](I checked) the cars
[01:24.17]Found out,
[01:24.80]He's a lier, broke the code and read the text
[01:28.11]I'm so glad I placed that bet, I want his answer 'cause he knows I checked
[01:31.73]Verse 2:
[01:32.05]Look, I wouldnt've done it if he wasnt so ambitious
[01:35.98]But he gave me every reason to be suspicious
[01:39.80]Like, I'll call his phone, like, an he'll pick up, like, hang right back up, then right call back and say "what's up?"
[01:47.80]I'm conteplating should I open his closet door?
[01:51.48]Probable calls, bouta open his closet door
[01:54.86]See what I can find, and if he's cheatin on me
[01:58.67]First, I checked his pockets from his suit pants to his jeans
[02:02.80]It's 6:30 I hear him walkin in the house
[02:06.36]I turn the tv on and hop up on the couch
[02:10.30]He comes in, but just changed the clothes,
[02:14.88]barely speaks, then heads back out the door
[02:17.25]Hook:
[02:17.50]He says "I got a meetin, it's important, I can't break it."
[02:21.31]I said "But baby please--" he cut me off said "I can't make it."
[02:25.13]Then leaves me again, it breaks my heart
[02:29.00]Then he dropped a card..
[02:31.38]Ahh ahh, ahh ahh
[02:32.44]Chorus:
[02:32.75](I checked) the phone
[02:34.69](I checked) the calls
[02:36.75](I checked) the home
