oooh ahh, I'm hurting, bad oooh ahh I'm hurting bad!
I did not see what I was supposed to see taking it easy when a friend told me I was in danger, so much danger. Underestimating my woman, not taking her out, working too hard and now she's gone off with a stranger, someone I don't even know.
I should have taken her out, every once and a while, taken her to dinner on the finer side, shown her a life that was all worth while, now I guese I gotta walk an extra mile! I could beat myself! Ahh yeah.
Now I'm gonna feel funny out there in the crowd when my friends all ask me, where is your woman? long time I don't see. Now I've got to think fast gotta use my head, give a good story and make sure they buy my version of the situation.
All the while I wouldn't lie I'm gonna do this once see my reputation sinking in the distance, if they knew the truth that really existed...then my little sanity would be wasted! I could beat myself ahh yes..I could beat myself!!! Ohh lord lord.
Now I really want to hear a little news now and then, this is not what I expect to hear from my friend I'm dissapointed. He should realize that its gonna destroy my position (remember I'm a name brand) now I've gotta see....I should have held her tight every once and a while, gotten it together on the finer style shown her a life that was all worth while, now it seems I gotta walk an extra mile....I could beat myself..ahh yes, I could beat myself ooh lord...
