Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I promise not to do it again
I promise not to do it
[Verse 2]
You can't say I don't love you just because I cheat on you
'Cause you can't see all I do to keep you from knowing the things I do
Like erase my phone and keep it out of town
I keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should have known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me now
[Verse 3]
You know that I love you, there's no one above you
I said it the last time but this is the last time
Don't make me over 'cause I can be faithful
Baby, you're my number one, you're my number one
[Verse 4]
Now who is she, what's her name
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this, we fight about that
You hang up the phone and call me right back
Well, I'll never be something I'm not
So please don't throw away what we've got
'Cause we've been together for way too long
I was playing around but I'm coming home
[Verse 5]
(You know that I love you) You know that I love you
(There's no one above you) No one above you
I said it the last time but this is the last time
Don't make me over (Don't leave me, baby)
'Cause I can be faithful (You know I try)
Baby, you're my number one, you're my number one
[Verse 6]
I keep you laced up so you ain't gotta borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on Ebay, baby, why is they frontin'?
They be on the internet but they never cop nothin'
I keep you in, girl, what is those on your toes?
And your neck staying froze off that rose colored gold
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own and he just be seein' shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off, he ask me who is you playin' with
But I know he love you, he told me he was his favorite
[Verse 7]
You know that I love you (Know that I love you)
There's no one above you (Above you)
I said it the last time but this is the last time
Don't make me over 'cause I can be faithful
Baby, you're my number one, you're my number one
[Verse 8]
You're making it hard for me, you're messing up everything
You tell me I gotta leave (Say we over)
You saw that she came over, came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover (Say we over)
[Verse 9]
I promise I won't cheat, I promise I won't lie
I promise I'll act right (Say we over)
You can't tell me I can't have you
I can't have that (We ain't over)
[Verse 10]
Hey, it ain't over, baby
(We ain't over)
Oh, you don't need to go, it's not over
(We ain't over)
(We ain't over)
Oh, it's gonna be alright now, don't go now
