Cherish › Lyrics › Before You Were My Man

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

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

Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew
Before you were my man little did I know that he'd know you
You should understand and know my circumstance
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
Don't know how it happened but this was all before you were my man

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 you're 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

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

Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew
Before you were my man little did I know that he'd know you
You should understand and know my circumstance
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
Don't know how it happened but this was all before you were my man

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

Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew
Before you were my man little did I know that he'd know you
You should understand and know my circumstance
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
Don't know how it happened but this was all before you were my man
My man, my man, my man

Yo, 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
