  • Listen babe I think it's time for me to come clean
    I mean I haven't been the most faithful
    And I don't no how else to say this plain and simple
    I've been cheatin' believe me this isn't easy
    Especially since you've been so good to me
    The hardest thing I've ever done is tellin' you that
    Your not the only one. just understand that usually (?)
    Man out of ignorance and like a boy I toyed with innocence
    This double life is not worth livin' I've given more to her
    And I apologize

    [Chorus:]
    It's all part of the game, its just the same old
    Thing just a different name
    You can try and drown the pain but we both swim too well
    To submerge ourselves and I'm tired of the shame of being
    A fool to cool to maintain 2 dames
    And all I need is time please forgive me darlin' the blames all mine

    When I come home to you with open arms,
    Insist on pressin' on my overcoat the alcohol is still cigarette smoke
    I now you've been, skeptical I play it off like your delusional
    The fact is I'm losin' you and I'm scared she doesn't want me
    The way I needed her to no, s
    He doesn't want me the way I need her to
    I'm pleadin' with the judge on my knees
    God please just make these charges go away

    [Chorus:]

    Girl I promise ill do my best to impress the jury cos
    When the smoke settles and one of us falls to the dirt
    It was worth all of the hurt and if not lets cut our losses
    'Cause you crossed the line thinkin' Id choose you over music
    That's just stupid, this whole situation's bogus
    Especially since I'm so focused from beginning to the end
    And we in with these friends
    Unfortunately this is hopeless
    Did my best to juggle both of you
    Strugglin' but I'm still here holdin' you
    Tie the man up, stand up put your hands up if
    You understand what I'm goin' through

    [Chorus:] Writer/s: CHRIS STEWART, DISASHI LUMUMBA-KASONGO, MATTHEW MCGINLEY, TERIUS NASH, TRAVIS MCCOY
