  • Alright bro
    We're gonna have a talk about this
    I brought you in this club and you done stole my girl
    And that ain't right

    When we walked into the club I thought it was understood, mmm, hmm
    It was my turn tonight and it was your job to make me look good
    Then I pointed out that sweet little beauty in black, yes I did
    I sent you over with a couple of drinks and you never came back

    You were supposed to be my wingman
    Wasn't that your game plan
    You take the grenade, and I'll take the fox
    Supposed to talk me up bro
    No matter what so
    Don't go tellin' me you must've forgot
    You waltzed her off the dance floor
    Right out the back door
    Leaving me to go it alone
    You're supposed to be my wingman
    But the only thing that it should've been me
    That's taking her home

    Shortly after you left, I was cussing your name, hell I was
    When her ugly girlfriend comes over starts working her game, mmm
    And I couldn't scare her off no matter what I'd said, nah, no
    I was thinkin' I'm the one that should be kissing on that cutie instead

    You were supposed to be my wingman
    Wasn't that your game plan
    You take the grenade, and I'll take the fox
    Supposed to talk me up bro
    No matter what so
    Don't go tellin' me you must've forgot
    You waltzed her off the dance floor
    Right out the back door
    Leaving me to go it alone
    You're supposed to be my wingman
    But the only thing that it should've been me
    That's taking her home

    Whoa
    They say, all is fair in love and war
    And all in time I'm gonna settle that score
    It ain't win or lose, it's how you play the game
    If I was in your shoes, I might've done it just the same

    You were supposed to be my wingman
    Wasn't that your game plan
    You take the grenade, and I'll take the fox
    Supposed to talk me up bro
    No matter what so
    Don't go tellin' me you must've forgot
    You waltzed her off the dance floor
    Right out the back door
    Leaving me to go it alone
    You're supposed to be my wingman
    But the only thing that it should've been me
    That's taking her home

    You waltzed her off the dance floor
    Right out the back door
    Leaving me to go it alone
    You're supposed to be my wingman
    But the only thing man it should've been me
    That's taking her home
    Is taking her home, ohh
    You were supposed to be my wingman, mmm, mmm Writer/s: CHRIS GELBUDA, JEFF SILBAR
