You know, if you're not going to listen to me,
|
Then there's no need for us to talk.
|
(Why, oh why did you do it)
|
I'm being a friend by telling you this,
|
Wait, wait, I know there's nothing I could say,
|
Or could do to go back,
|
But honestly I tried.
|
I tried to stay away from him,
|
But you just kept bringing him 'round.
|
(You were sleeping with my baby)
|
And I don't know, something about his eyes,
|
I'm sorry.
|
(Why, oh why did you do it)
|
I tried to block him out of my mind,
|
(I thought you was a friend)
|
But it just wouldn't go away.
|
So if you're gonna phone anybody,
|
(I'ma phone you)
|
I think I'm the person you wanna talk to.
|
(Why oh why)
|
You can talk to me,
|
(I can't talk)
|
We share the same ideas.
|
(I can't talk to you)
|
We share the same love for the same man,
|
(No we don't, you've been creepin' with my man)
|
And all I can say is, I tried.
|
(You ain't tried, you ain't tried)
|
May the best woman win
|
(I will win, 'cause I'm the best thing for him)
