Damn all I could do
All I could say
Is that I'm sorry
Listen I know I really messed up this time
Just hear me out

You should've showed me a little more love
(But still there ain't no reason)
For me to walk out on this thing called us
(But you keep giving me the feeling)
That I should throw the towel in
('Cause we can't keep each other no way)
Cussin' me out in front of my friends not giving a damn how I feel

I don't even want
(I don't wanna be the cat that tricks around on you)
And you don't even know
(How many times I asked your mama what I should do)
And it's my fault?
(Now it's my fault I'm in a situation I may not get through)
I got bad news that I gotta break to you
I know you gonna act a fool but I gotta let her know

I had a girlfriend and in between that the week we split up
(She need to know)
It was lookin' so good I couldn't say no
(I think it's time you know)
Everytime I see you wit her
I think of how I was picking the legs up
It's a shame when a man just can't say no
(Oh yeah)

See what is done is done and I realize
And I now ain't no taking it back
I committed the worse crime I could ever do to my girl
(Damn she never gonna forgive me)
Every time that truth would hit my two way
She would say that I'm on the way
Puttin' it down in and out up and down any way I'd say
But baby girl I really didn't wanna

(I don't wanna be the cat that tricks around on you)
You don't even know
(How many times I asked your mama what I should do)
She didn't even know
(Now it's my fault I'm in a situation I may not get through)
I got some real bad news to tell you
And I know you gonna act a fool she really needs to know

I had a girlfriend and in between that the week we split up
It was lookin' so good I couldn't say no
(It's gonna be bad but I gotta let her know)
Everytime I see you with her
I think of how I was picking the legs up
(Hear the rhythm girl)
It's a shame when a man just can't say no
(Couldn't say no)

It was bad
(I done messed up)
Gave up all I had with you just for a fast
(Piece of pleasure)
That could never replace you one more chance
(One more chance, you mean the world to me)
(Is it never)
Girl you made mistakes too
(How could you say love don't hurt forever)

I had a girlfriend and in between that the week we split up
(Remember when we broke up)
It was lookin' so good I couldn't say no
(I couldn't say no)
(And everytime I see you with her)
Everytime I see you with her
I think of how I was gettn' up in her
It's a shame when a man just can't say no
(It's a shame oh, it's a shame oh)

I had a girlfriend and in between that the week we split up
(Had a girlfriend and in between that the week we split up)
It was lookin' so good I couldn't say no
(No, say no baby)
Everytime I see you wit her
I think of how I was picking the legs up
It's a shame when a man just can't say no
(I can't say no, I can't say no)
