Verse 1:
If they gleam in the sun while they spin and they fit on my truck then I could remember.
And if it came in a sack, no stems, no seeds in the bag, then I could remember
And if it dripped from my wrist and it looked like it shined like glue, then I could remember
But uh, oh girl I forgot to be your lover.
If it wasn’t for the 9 to 5, double up overtime, then I could remember
If it wasn’t for the Sunday All-Star weekend game, I could remember.
And if it wasn’t for the dough and the fifty G’s a show, then you know that I could remember
But silly me, silly me tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover
Bridge:
Now I realize that you need love too; spend my life making up to you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh I forgot to be your lover
Chorus:
When she starts bringing up old dirt; and the fights keep getting worse
Finding numbers in her purse; better put that woman first
And you know that she ain’t wearing her ring; and she starts playing little games
Coming in late from work; better put that woman first
Verse2:
If it wasn’t for the makeup on my shirt, still I’d be chasing skirts, then I could remember
And if it wasn’t for the fight last night, you smashing out my headlights, then I could remember
If it wasn’t for parole, steady ducking my PO, girl you know that I could remember
But silly me, silly me baby, tell me how could I forget to be your lover
Bridge
Chorus
Bridge 2:
So many times acting like it wasn’t nothing; so many ways I threw myself always running
So many games all that I said; so many words I need you to stay
Always came first; even though sometimes falling second
Can’t buy the love; you know I had to learn my lesson
Put in some time, put in some work
And for better or worse put that woman first
Chorus 2xs
