She was a hot-blooded women, he never saw it comin'

She hit him from the side that's blind

She never gave a warning, he woke up in the mornin'

Layin' there next to his pride

He got a little crazy when she had a little baby

Cause it filled him with a fatherly pride

But a couple years later when their love started fadin'

He hurt so bad he nearly died

It's been a long time, since I was faithful

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water

Cause it's better for her baby to breathe

She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen

Now he's sittin' waitin' on a reprieve

And she loves her lil' baby but she get a lil' crazy

Cause it's harder than she ever conceived

He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone

Cause she loves him like he wouldn't believe

It's been a long time, since I was faithful

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother

He's always been a prodigal son

He gets a lot of drama when he go to see his momma

Cause he curses like a son of a gun

He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby

He swears that she's the only one

He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin' for tomorrow

And he's sorry for the damage he's done

It's been a long time, since I was faithful

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

It's been a long time, since I was faithful

It's been a long time, since I was grateful

It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye

It's been a long time, since I was grateful
