Ohh Ohh Ohhh Oohhh
Ohh Ohh Ohhh
Yeah
Listen
I'd be a liar if I told you
That I didn´t see it comin'
I'd be more of a liar if I said:
Hey, I didn't want it to be something.
You deserve much better
For the love that you have shared
I know u won`t believe it
But girl I swear
That I got love for you,
Big love for you,
Even when I`m trippin',
The fact remains that you
Will always be my baby, my baby
But dig the truth,
Baby dig the truth
I can`t hide my feelings
Especially when the whole world can see
That my heart
is in two different places:
I got you in my life
And I wanna do right
But it´s hard to let it go
When my love has two different faces
And I can't break ties
'cause they both look right.
Someone tell me
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
And he don´t wanna lie
But he can´t tell the truth
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
But he can´t keep his heart
In two different places
(in two different places)
I know you feel it
'Cause you stayed
There is much more to the story
But I'd be a fool to say
I trust that I´m always gonna love her
You know that you don't wanna hear
How I´m livin' on the edge, baby
So I just say "YEAH, BABY"
She ain´t nothing,
But she is real
But why I take her through it
When I still got love for you,
Big love for you
Even when I`m trippin',
The fact remains that you
Will always be my baby, my baby
But dig the truth,
Baby dig the truth
I can`t hide my feelings
Especially when the whole world can see
That my heart is in two different places:
I got you in my life
And I wanna do right
But it´s hard to let it go
When my love has two different faces
And I can't break ties cause they both look right.
Someone tell me
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
And he don´t wanna lie
But he can´t tell the truth
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
But he cant keep his heart
In two different places
(not in two different places)
I wanna tell you it's over
And that I ain´t thinkin' of her
I wanna really mean it
And I want you to see it
That I really try to leave her behind
And I´m tryin' not to make you cry
I wanna tell you
That I ain't playin' games
And I´m dedicated
to receive a change but
When I look in the mirror
It´s the same old me
That my heart
is in two different places:
I got you in my life
And I wanna do right
But it´s hard to let it go
When my love has two different faces
And I can't break ties
cause they both look right.
Someone tell me
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
And he don´t wanna lie (wanna lie)
But he can´t tell the truth
What's a man to do
When he's loving two.
But he cant keep his heart
In two different places
(not in two different places)
Not in two different places.
