Lyrics
THE OTHER MAN
Intro
Yeah...
Damn, girl
I really came home thinking I was finna make your night
Whole time, you was making a fool out of me
Nah... don't even touch me
Verse 1
I left work early with the roses, thought I'd make your whole night
Your car was in the driveway, his was parked just out of sight
Used the key you gave me, heard you whisper, killed the light
Then I saw his shirt beside you—don't you dare tell me I'm wrong tonight
You froze halfway dressed, he stood there like he belonged there
Your lipstick on his collar, your damn perfume in his hair
I asked how long it's been, you couldn't even meet my stare
Then you said, "It ain't what you think"—bitch, what the fuck else is there?
I gave you everything you said you'd ever need
You let that motherfucker touch the parts you saved for me
Now you're saying it was nothing, girl, I saw what I could see
Don't reach for me, don't say my name, just let me leave
Pre-Chorus
Remember when you swore that you would never do me wrong?
I stood beside you through the shit that had you breaking down
I turned your tears to laughter, kept your feet up off the ground
Now the same bed where I held you got another nigga's scent around
Chorus
You fucked him in our bed, what the fuck you got to say?
I was building us a future, you were giving ours away
You let him touch you like a lover, then came home and asked to stay
Now you're begging me to hear you, but I can't unsee that day
You can cry until the morning, you can swear you lost your way
You can tell me that you love me, but that shit don't hit the same
I was faithful when it mattered, you were playing both our games
Now you know exactly how it feels to watch your whole world change
Verse 2
Was it every time I called you and you told me you were busy?
Was he laying right beside you while you told me that you missed me?
Did you laugh about the future while you let that nigga kiss you?
Did you tell him I was nothing, like the promises you gave me didn't mean shit to you?
I remember late September, you were sick and I was there
Sat beside you through the long nights, ran my fingers through your hair
When your family had that problem, I was right there showing care
Now I'm standing in our bedroom, wondering how you could compare
And don't tell me you were lonely, I was working for our life
You knew why I missed them dinners, knew I hated leaving nights
I was saving for that ring while you were sneaking out of sight
Now the ring is in my pocket, and I'm done pretending we're alright
Pre-Chorus
Remember when you swore that you would never do me wrong?
I stood beside you through the shit that had you breaking down
I turned your tears to laughter, kept your feet up off the ground
Now the same bed where I held you got another nigga's scent around
Chorus
You fucked him in our bed, what the fuck you got to say?
I was building us a future, you were giving ours away
You let him touch you like a lover, then came home and asked to stay
Now you're begging me to hear you, but I can't unsee that day
You can cry until the morning, you can swear you lost your way
You can tell me that you love me, but that shit don't hit the same
I was faithful when it mattered, you were playing both our games
Now you know exactly how it feels to watch your whole world change
Bridge
Did he know about the ring? Did he know I called you mine?
Did you tell him all our secrets, all the shit I shared in time?
Did you tell him I was working while you crossed that fucking line?
Was he laughing when you kissed me, looking straight into my eyes?
Don't you tell me that you're sorry just because you got caught
Don't you tell me that you love me like that means I should forgot
You had chances, you had choices, you knew exactly what you sought
Now you're crying on the mattress, but the damage has been wrought
Final Chorus
You fucked him in our bed, what the fuck you got to say?
I was building us a future, you were giving ours away
You let him touch you like a lover, then came home and asked to stay
Now you're begging me to hear you, but I can't unsee that day
You can cry until the morning, you can swear you lost your way
You can tell me that you love me, but that shit don't hit the same
I was faithful when it mattered, you were playing both our games
Now you know exactly how it feels to watch your whole world change
Outro
Keep the key, I changed the locks
Keep the lies, I'm done with all that
I would've gave you my last breath
You couldn't even give me the truth
And the fucked-up part?
I still love you...
I just don't trust you
And I can't be that man again
