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

Little did I know that he knew you

You should understand and know my 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, 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, 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 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, 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, 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

[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, 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, 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

[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
