Lyrics

On the Side

I know that it's wrong, but it still feels so right
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side
We both know the truth, but I still tell a lie
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side

We be talkin' through DM now
Finally, I know all her friends now
Got me a girl and she got her n-
He never stood a chance, he don't give what I give her
Don't say nothin', we keep it private (shh)
PDA, it ain't a option, no
But, I'm a different person every time I get with her
I mean, I love my baby, but she way thicker

I introduce her to things that she ain't used to
I got a woman, but baby, don't wanna lose you
It's what I want and everything that I need, oh-ooh

I know that it's wrong, but it still feels so right
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side
We both know the truth, but I still tell a lie
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side

We got the late-night textin'
If we keep all this up, both of our mains gon' turn to exes
And when we so reckless
She come and see me in Atlanta, we rendezvous in Texas
Sendin' me pictures with her clothes off (off)
Why she gotta be such a show-off? (Yeah)
Step outside to take a phone call
She tellin' me she ready (bet)

Ooh, I introduce her to things that she ain't used to
I got a woman, but baby, don't wanna lose you
It's what I want and everything that I need, ooh

I know that it's wrong, but it still feels so right
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side
We both know the truth, but I still tell a lie
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side

It's too late for me to slide out
I can only hope my baby don't find out
You can only hope your nigga don't get wise
That I'm the one you seein' and receivin' on the late nights (woah)
Yeah, we cuttin' it close
Runnin' out of alibis, it's just a matter of time
Steal her heart, don't wanna let it go
So, we gon' have to keep it a secret

I know that it's wrong, but it still feels so right
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side
We both know the truth, but I still tell a lie
I'm in love with a girl that I see on the side
