Na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na.
Ohhh...

Verse 1:
Baby, take a seat.
Got something I wanna say to you.
Before things get crazy I'ma need to let out the truth.
I wanna tell ya.
No, I gotta tell ya.
I gotta let this out before he do.
And before you say a word I'ma need your undivided please.
Until then just try not to say a thing.
Oh, in a way it's just so complicated.
To fix my mouth and say these words to you.

Pre-Chorus:
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.
Gotta let you know.
So here I go.

Chorus:
Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew.
Before you were my man little did I knew that he know you.
But you should understand that normal 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.

Verse 2:
Now that I confessed I think that I should explain myself.
It lasted for so long.
I swear that it was nothing else.
Just take a minute to take it all in.
Even thought 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.

Pre-Chorus:
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. (Yeah)
Just hear me out and listen. (Oh, na, na)
Understand my condition.
Gotta let you know.
So here I go. (Before)

Chorus:
Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew. (Guy I knew)
Before you were my man little did I knew that he know you. (You)
But you should understand that normal circumstance.
Didn't know he was your friend. (Friend)
Before you were my man I met him at this party. (Man)
Sitting at the bar.
He walked right up to me.
Bought me some Bacardi.
Caught up in the moment. (Caught up in the moment)
I was feeling lonely. (I was feeling lonely)
Don't know how it happened.
But this was all before you were my man. (You were my man)

Bridge:
Yeah, I know it's crazy baby.
Now when we come around.
You'll think about what went down.
You should've known cuz when we would come through I would up and leave the room.
Avoiding the truth.
Before...

Chorus:
Before you were my man I was chilling with this guy I knew. (Chilling with this guy I knew)
Before you were my man little did I knew that he know you. (Did I knew that he would know you)
But you should understand that normal circumstance. (Circumstance)
Didn't know he was your friend.
Before you were my man I met him at this party. (I met him at this party)
Sitting at the bar. (Sitting at the bar)
He walked right up to me. (He walked right up to me)
Bought me some Bacardi. (Oh yeah)
Caught up in the moment.
I was feeling lonely. (I was feeling lonely)
Don't know how it happened.
But this was all before you were my man. (All before you were my man)
(My man, my man, my man)

Yo, it's crazy I had to tell you this right?
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.
