It`s taken me some time to read the writing on the wall
But I have finaly figured out just what`s been going on
And I need to tell you what I`ve learned before you turn to go
There`s things about that other man I think you should know
The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn`t care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he`d done
But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to see
That man that came between us was me
I know I`m sorry don`t make up for half the tears you`ve cried
And I can`t promise miracles but I swear to God I`ll try
`Cause if you`ll give me half a chance I`ll love you like I should
Honey, your lovin` man`s come home again
And that stranger`s gone for good
The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn`t care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he`d done
But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to seed
That man that came between us was me
Oh honey, the man that came between us was me
