Married Man Lyrics
Kelly Price
Lyrics
Ooh, ooh
Saw you in the street one day
Walkin' up to you, wanted just to say, baby
Instantly you looked the other way
You grabbed the lady's hand
And you kissed the head of her little man
Started thinkin' should I blow him up?
Tell her who I am
Tell we've been makin' so many plans
But instead I left
And I just cried 'cause I was broke inside
Now I wanna know the reason why
Saw you walkin' by me
Strollin' by casually like you didn't know my name
Baby, in your wifey's arms
Breakin' up my heart
You're a married man playin' games
(Wish somebody told me)
Wish somebody told me 'fore I let you hold me
'Fore I let you in my bed
Never would've let you stay
Made you go away
You're a married man playin' games
So tell me why do this to me?
Why do this to her?
And why'd you do this to your baby?
I loved you for your honesty
But it was just a lie
(Don't you know the way I'm feelin' inside?)
You can't imagine how I feel
Thinkin' we were real then to find out we're nothin'
I've been livin' in a faded dream
But reality quickly hit me
When I saw you with her
Saw you walkin' by me
Strollin' by casually like you didn't know my name
Baby, in your wifey's arms
Breakin' up my heart
You're a married man playin' games
Wish somebody told me 'fore I let you hold me
'Fore I let you in my bed
Never would've let you stay
Made you go away
You're a married man playin' games
Whoa, I can't believe that you've been with me
While you were keepin' home with her
So now I am the other girl in your other world
And didn't even know I was, oh no
You really thought that you could be with me
While you were keepin' secrecies
But all that's dark will come to light
Baby that ain't right
How you fronted me in the street, I saw you, oh
Saw you walkin' by me
Strollin' by casually like you didn't know my name
Baby, in your wifey's arms
Breakin' up my heart
You're a married man playin' games
Wish somebody told me 'fore I let you hold me
'Fore I let you in my bed
Never would've let you stay
Made you go away
You're a married man playin' games
Saw you walkin' by me
Strollin' by casually like you didn't know my name
Baby, in your wifey's arms
Breakin' up my heart
You're a married man playin' games
