Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If they gleam in the sun while they spin and they

Fit on my truck, then (I could remember)

And if it came in a sack, no stems

No seeds in the bag, then (I could remember)

[Verse 2]

And if they drip from my wrist

And it looked like it shined like new, then (I could remember)

But, oh, oh, oh-oh, girl

I forgot to be your lover

[Verse 3]

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5

Double up, overtime, then (I could remember)

If it wasn't for the Sunday

All-Star Weekend game, girl (I could remember)

[Verse 4]

And if wasn't the dough, gettin' fifty G's a show

Girl, you know that (I could remember)

[PreChorus]

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' up to you

Oh, girl

Oh, I forgot to be your lover

[Chorus]

When she starts bringin' up old dirt

And the fights keep getting worse

Finding numbers in her purse

Better put that woman first

And you notice she ain't wearin' her ring

And she starts playin' little games

Comin' in late from work

You better put that woman first

[Verse 5]

If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt

Still, out there chasin' skirts, then (I could remember)

And if wasn't for that fight last night

You smashin' out my headlights, then (I could remember)

[Verse 6]

If it wasn't for parole

Steady duckin' my P.O., girl, you know (I could remember)

[PreChorus]

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' up to you

Oh, girl

Oh, I forgot to be your lover

[Chorus]

When she starts bringin' up old dirt

And the fights keep getting worse

Finding numbers in her purse

Better put that woman first

And you notice she ain't wearin' her ring

And she starts playin' little games

Comin' in late from work

You better put that woman first

[Bridge]

(So many times) Actin' like it wasn't really nothin'

(So many ways) Kept to myself, always runnin'

(So many games) All that I sin

(In so many words) I need you to stay

(Always came first) Even though sometimes, felt like second

(Care 'bout no love) You know I had to learn a lesson

(Spendin' some time) Put in some work

(And for better or worse) Always put that woman first

[Chorus]

When she starts bringin' up old dirt

And the fights keep getting worse

Finding numbers in her purse

Better put that woman first

And you notice she ain't wearin' her ring

And she starts playin' little games

Comin' in late from work

You better put that woman first

[Outro]

When she starts bringin' up old dirt

And the fights keep getting worse

Finding numbers in her purse

Better put that woman first

And you notice she ain't wearin' her ring

And she starts playin' little games

Comin' in late from work

You better put that woman first
