[Chorus:]
You shoulda told me
You had a man

Then I wouldn't
Waste my time
You shoulda told me

You had a man
When you knew that I was
Big on you and

No one else
Why'd you have to go
And play yourself?

You shoulda told me
You had a man
Yeah, yeah

7 weeks of passion, sexin'
6 nights a week, left my
Body exhausted and my

Knees feel so weak
Now you're
Acting mysterious, girl

You took a script and I
Shoulda seen it coming but it
It happened so quick


So I made all these plans
Of becoming your man

But you left me
Here standing
With only time

On my hands
Girl, I want you but
I don't understand

You shoulda told me
You had a man
You shoulda told me

You had a man

[Repeat chorus]


I would never believe it but I
I seen it myself, peepin'

Through steamy windows, goin'
Down on someone else, girl
You're too much

For one man
But you're
Not enough for two

You shoulda
You shoulda been
Straight with me before

I hooked up with you

So I had all these plans

Of becoming your man
But you left me
Here standing

With only time
On my hands
Girl, I want you but

I don't understand
You shoulda told me
You had a man

You shoulda told me
You had a man


[Repeat chorus]

You shoulda told me

You had a man
You shoulda told me
You had a man

You shoulda told me
You had a man
You shoulda told me

You had a man
It coulda been cool, baby

You shoulda told me
You had a man

You shoulda told me
You had a man
How could you
Nver, never, never, never
Think that I would find out

You shoulda told me
You had a man
You shoulda told me
You had a man


[Repeat chorus]
