Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
If they gleam in the sun
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}
And if it came in the sack
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}
And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then
{I could remember}
But Ohhh girl
I forgot to be your lover
If it wasn`t for the 9 to 5
Double-up overtime then {I could remember}
If it wasn`t for the Sunday all star
weekend games girl {I could remember}
And if it wasn`t for the dough
Gettin fifty g`s a show girl ya know that {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me
Ohhh
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover
Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
Spend my life makin` love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
When she starts bringin` up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
Findin` numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah)
And you know she ain`t wearin` her ring (Oh, no)
When she starts playin` little games
Comin` in late from work
You better put that woman first
If it wasn`t for the make up on my shirt
Still I`d be chasin` skirts then {I could remember}
And if it wasn`t for that fight last night
You smashin out my headlights then {I could remember}
If it wasn`t for parole
Steady duckin` my P O girl you know {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me, babe
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover
Now I realize that you need love too
Spend my life makin` love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
When she starts bringin` up old dirt (Bringin` up old shhhh)
And the fights keep getting worse
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
Findin` numbers in her purse (I`m tellin` you, brother)
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman first)
And you know she ain`t wearin` her ring (Oh, yeah)
When she starts playin` little games (I`m-I`m-I`m-I`m tellin` you, brother)
Comin` in late from work
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first)
{So many times} Actin like it wasn`t really nothin`
{So many ways} Kept to myself, always runnin`
{So many games} All that I sin
{So many words} I need you to stay
{Always came first} Even though sometimes fallin`
second
{Came down to love} You know I had to win the last race
{Spend some time} Put in some work
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first
When she starts bringin` up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin` worse)
Findin` numbers in her purse (In her purse)
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)
And you know she ain`t wearin` her ring (Ooh, yeah)
When she starts playin` little games (Her little games)
Comin` in late from work (I`mma say it again)
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first)
When she starts bringin` up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (She`s gonna leave you)
Findin` numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know she ain`t wearin` her ring (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When she starts playin` little games (Yeah, yeah)
Comin` in late from work
You better put that woman first
