[Intro]

Damn, all I could do, all I could say

Is that I'm sorry

Listen to me, I know I really messed up this time

Just hear me out


[Verse 1]

Oh, you should of shown 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)

Cussing me out in front of my friends not giving a damn on how I feel


[Pre-Chorus]

I don't even want

(I don't want to be the guy that tricks around on you)

And you don't even know

(How many times I asked your momma what I should do)

And it's my fault

(And 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


[Chorus]

I had a girlfriend pinned up (Aye)

In between that week we split up (She need to know)

It was looking so good, I couldn't say, “No”

(I think it's time you know)

Every time that I see you with her (Ooh)

I was thinking how I was picking them legs up (Leg up)

It's a shame when a man just can't say, “No”

Ohh yeah


[Verse 2]

See, what is done is done, and I realize now ain't no taking it back

I committed the worst crime I could ever do to my girl

Damn, she ain't never gonna forgive me

Every time that you through a fit

My two-way she hits saying, "I’m on the way"

Putting it down, in and out, up and down, anyway I'd say

But baby girl I really didn't wanna


[Pre-Chours]

(I don't want to be the guy that tricks around you) woah, oh

You don't even know, hey!

(How many times I asked your momma what I should do)

She didn't even know

(And 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 gon' act a fool

She really needs to know


[Chorus]

I had a girlfriend pinned up (Ooh yeah)

In between that week we split up

It was looking so good, I couldn't say, “No”

(It's gonna be bad but I gotta let her know)

Every time I see you with her

I think of how I was picking them legs up (Picking them legs up girl)

It's a shame when a man just can't say, “No” (When I couldn't say, “No”, couldn't say, “No”)


[Bridge]

Yeah it's 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 (He said never)

Girl, you made mistakes too

Uh, baby, oh, girl!


[Chorus]

I had a girlfriend pinned up

In between that week we split up (Remember when we broke up?)

It was looking so good, I couldn't say, “No” (I couldn't say, “No”)

(And every time I see you with her)

Every time I see you with her

I think of how I was picking them legs up

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 pinned up (I had a girlfriend pinned up)

In between that week we split up (Between that week we split up, ooh)

It was looking so good, I couldn't say, “No” (No, say no babe)

Every time that I see you with her

I was thinking how I was picking them legs up

It's a shame when a man just can't say, “No”

(Can't say, “No” now, can't say, “No”)
