Before You Were My Man

[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 yourself 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, whoa) 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 [Repeat Pre-Chorus:] [Repeat Chorus:] [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 [Repeat Chorus:] [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
