[Verse 1]

First time I saw your face

I must admit it

It broke my heart to know

You had another chick

I know you won't believe I made this up

But I saw her look like me with another dude at the club

And I always knew one day

That she would hurt you

But please don't shed a tear

Because baby she don't deserve you

[Chorus]

And ooo if you were my man,

I treat you better then she ever can

She's gonna break your heart

I can give you all the love she don't give you, baby

And I promise that you won't miss her when I am your lady

And I betcha (betcha)

Betcha (betcha)

Betcha (bet you)

I can love you

Betta (betta)

[Verse 2]

Now that she's out the way boy

Just gimme your heart

I promise I'll take good care

I can give it to ya, lemme give it to ya,

I can make ya look betta

I can give it to ya, lemme give it to ya,

I can do ya much betta

[Chorus]

Oooo if you were my man,

I treat you betta then she ever can

She's gonna break your heart
