Before You Were My Man Lyrics

[Adlibs]

[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 you self 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 woah)
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

[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 you self in my position (yeah)
Just hear me out and listen (oh no no no)
Understand my condition
Got to let you know
So here I go (before)

[Chorus:]
Before you were my man
I was chilling with this guy I knew (guy I knew)
Before you were my man
Didn't know that he know you (you)
You should understand (yeah)
No more circumstance(oh woah)
Didn't know he was your friend (friend)
Before you were my man (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 (caught up in the moment)
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
(I was feeling 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 (yeah)
No more circumstance(oh woah)
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 (oh yeah)
Caught up in the moment (I was feeling lonely)
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
Don't know how it happened
But this was all before
You were my man (my man my man my man oh ooh)

[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
