  • Let me start by telling you I love you
    Thank you for making me a part of the puzzle
    I imagine it was quite the struggle
    But you still found time and taught yourself to juggle
    Girl, would you give me a kiss for a fist full of flowers?
    This could be ours
    Girl, could you get rid of that other dude?
    Cut him loose and kick him to the multitude
    I can't picture why you would split your time
    Between I and an additional guy
    Seems like more wear then it's worth when
    You're the one who gotta bare this burden
    I give you love and respect
    But that other stud got nothing to give but stress
    Life as a wifey shouldn't be so hard
    But everybody gotta be who they think they are, listen

    My lady got two men
    One's a stranger and the other's a friend
    She keeps us both cause she needs us
    Zig-zag back and forth in between us
    My lady got two lovers
    One for the funk and the other for the comfort
    I'm trying to understand
    But I gotta figure out which one I am

    It's obvious that I'm better than him
    If you got me sense you won't settle for him
    We all sacrifice pride for passion
    I'm not sure what you're waiting for to happen
    But I feel like a doctor, I got a lot of patience
    I co-operated with the operation
    Complications, observation
    Parked in your lot, can I get some validation?
    I'm just saying, gotta escape from the frustration
    Wanna express yourself, make a statement
    But I don't expect you to change the arrangement
    And the truth is I try to support
    But I can't thrive when I'm ignored
    And I can see that you don't wanna cut the cord
    But it's gotta be something more than this tug of war
    Girl, you're the shine on the crown
    So why you try and let that clown come around?
    From now and 'til the universe swallows the Earth
    I won't pretend that I can follow how it works
    Ever since this began I've been a different man
    And then a different man and then a different man
    I wonder who I'm gonna be tonight
    Just take our hand and it'll be alright, come here

    My lady got two men
    One's a stranger and the other's a friend
    She keeps us both cause she needs us
    Zig-zag back and forth in between us
    My lady got two lovers
    One for the funk and the other for the comfort
    I'm trying to understand
    But I gotta figure out which one I am

    My lady got two men
    One's a stranger and the other's a friend
    She keeps us both cause she needs us
    Zig-zag back and forth in between us
    My lady got two lovers
    One for the funk and the other for the comfort
    I'm trying to understand
    But I gotta figure out that I'm both of them Writer/s: ANTHONY JEROME DAVIS, ROBERT MANDELL, SEAN DALEY
