I was cruising down the ave, thirty on the gas
Saw this chick and I couldn't help but look back
Put it in reverse, not even thinking about who I'm gonna hurt
Noo
Said I like what I see
Dunno what it is, but you got what I need
And it didn't even dawn on me what the consequences might be
Was it just my intention
Got a girl that I never seem to mention
And I tell myself that it's for her protection to erase in my head my deception
I ain't tryna lose my girl
But this chick got all my attention
And it's hard not to show her my affection
Yes, I know I'm going in the wrong direction
I don't need this in my world
You don't deserve someone like me
Cause I'll never give you what you need
I should walk away and let you be
Cause you don't deserve someone like me
It was just one kiss
But the way she did it made me think of your lips
Was not expecting to feel like this
When you're in love, this ain't how you live
And I shoulda went home
Couldn't stop myself cause she made me say oohhh
And the only thing I could see was my girl saying why'd you do this to me
And I gotta stop stressin'
Thought this girl was gonna run, say something
And if she do, I'm gonna say I did nothing
Man, I hope this chick don't be bugging
I ain't tryna lose my girl
Don't know why I couldn't be faithful
I ain't ever been no angel
Now I'm force to live with this label
I don't need this in my world
You don't deserve someone like me
Cause I'll never give you what you need
I should walk away and let you be
Cause you don't deserve someone like me
I shoulda loved you more
I don't know what I was with her for
One day I'll have to tell you the truth
Cause there ain't no excuse
I was with her when I should have been with you
Baby you don't deserve, noooo
You don't deserve someone like me
Cause I'll never give you what you need
I should walk away and let you be
Cause you don't deserve someone like me
You don't deserve someone like me
