Baby, sit down, I got somethin' that I need to say, right now
Before the rumor spread and make the way, around town
I thought I'd be your man and tell you first
But I know it's got to hurt, baby please let me explain
It happened all of a sudden, out of control
She had my heart and would not let it go
I'm not tryin' to say that it was okay
But that I didn't do it
But I gotta tell the truth, the whole truth with my right hand up
'Cuz I don't wanna lose you, it's time to man up
I just gotta be the one to tell you, baby, believe me when I say
You don't wanna find out the hard way
Baby, if I would of never seen her walkin'
Down the block I probably would have not
Pulled over and asked her if she need a ride
But I noticed she had make-up on her eye
Then she started to cry, I said, "Baby, please explain"
She said a man put his hands on her, he was out of control
And she really needs someone to hold and not let go
And then she looked into my eyes just like you do
Then I imagined she was you
Now I gotta tell the truth, the whole truth with my right hand up
'Cuz I don't wanna lose you, it's time to man up
I just gotta be the one to tell you, baby, believe me when I say
And you don't wanna find out the hard way
Baby, now I wish that I was a magician
And I could make all of this disappear
And baby I wish that I could go back in time
And trust me baby, we wouldn't be here
But you've been so good to me, how could I do this to you?
And I never meant to hurt you, how can I prove it to you?
I'm just trying to see, what's been on my mind 'cuz in her, you
I gotta tell the truth, the whole truth with my right hand up
'Cuz I don't wanna lose you, it's time to man up
I just gotta be the one to tell you, baby, believe me when I say
You don't wanna find out the hard way
