Lyrics

[Intro]
Darkchild
Toni Braxton
Yeah
Darkchild, yeah
[Verse 1]
Listen, girl
Who do you think I am?
Don't you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?
Lookin' at me like I'm hurt
When I'm the one who said I didn't want it to work
Don't you forget I had him first
[PreChorus]
What you thinkin'? Stop blamin' me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know, now here's your chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been? Yeah
And not be worried about him
Now it's time to know the truth
I think he's just the man for you
[Chorus]
What are you thinkin'?
Do you know about us back then? (Did you know?)
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend? (Ooh-wee, girlfriend)
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him
Do you know I made him leave? (Made him say bye-bye)
Do you know he begged to stay with me? (Oh, with me)
He wasn't man enough for me
[Verse 2]
Listen, girl, didn't he tell you the truth?
If not, then why don't you ask him?
Then maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worryin' 'bout me
And hopefully you won't find
All of the reasons why his love didn't count
And why we couldn't work it out
[PreChorus]
What you thinkin'? Stop blamin' me
He wasn't man enough for me, yeah (If you don't know, now here's your chance)
See, I've already had your man, yeah (Do you wonder, just where he's been? Yeah)
And not be worried about him, yeah (Now it's time to know the truth)
I think he's just the man for you, yeah
[Chorus]
What are you thinkin'?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me
What are you thinkin'? Yeah
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me
[Bridge]
So many reasons
Why our love is through, yeah
What makes you think he'll be good to you?
No, it makes no sense, 'cause he will never change
Girl, you better recognize the game
[Chorus]
What are you thinkin'?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him
Even though I made him leave
And you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn't man enough for me
(I said he used to follow me) What are you thinkin'?
Do you know about us back then? (Calling me all night long)
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend? (Begging me to stay)
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn't man enough for me
[Chorus]
What are you thinkin'?
Do you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend
I'm not thinkin' 'bout him, but you married him (Calling on the phone)
Do you know I made him leave? (Askin' me to come back home)
Do you know he begged to stay with me? (Beggin' me if he could stay)
He wasn't man enough for me (But he's not man enough for me)
