Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)

If they gleam in the sun

While they spin in the seat, get in my truck then {I

could remember}

And if it came in a sack

No skins, no seats in the back and {I could remember}

And if it dripped from my wrist

And it looked it shined like new then {I could

remember}

But oh, girl

I forgot to be your lover

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5

Double up overtimin' {I could remember}

If it wasn't for the Sunday All-Star

Weekend games, girl {I could remember}

And if it wasn't the dough

Couldn't fit the ??? jones girl, you know that {I

could remember}

But silly, me, silly me, oh

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 and {I could remember}

And if it wasn't for that fight last night

I'd be 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

s***)

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 really wasn't 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 in this 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 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
