Girl on the Side

[Verse 1: Tamar]
I had my suspicions, baby
I didn't say nothin', 'cause "I be trippin'", right?
I put all my trust in you
The ears you used to kiss don't hear you anymore

[Refrain: Tamar]
How could you be gettin' 'round on me, gettin' around me?
Why'd you have to play me like that, baby?
That's all I want to know, now tell me
Why were you gettin' around on me, sleepin' 'round on me?
I would never do you like that, baby
And I'm the last to know

[Chorus: The Braxtons / (Tamar)]
Now everybody knows (oh, and everyone knows)
That you have a girl on the side (oh yeah)
Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah (oh, everyone knows)
That you're not doin' me right (yeah yeah yeah)
Why you have to be the kind that won't love faithfully?
I don't want no man with a girl on the side

[Verse 2: Tamar]
You know how much I loved you, baby (how could you?)
You'll never find a girl who gives you more than me (how could you?)
You threw away the best of times, yeah
When you strayed away and left me lonely
'Cause I was not your one and only

[Break: Tamar]
Didn't I please you (you went)
Like you wanted?
How could you be untrue
And throw it all away?

[Chorus: The Braxtons / (Tamar)]
Now everybody knows
That you have a girl on the side
Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah (oh, and everyone knows)
That you're not doin' me right (yeah, yeah)
Why you have to be the kind that won't love faithfully?
I don't want no man with a girl on the side (I don't want no man, no-oh, oh no)

[Bridge: Tamar]
There ain't gon' be no comin' 'round my door
(Now everybody knows)
You can stay right where you are
Because you'll never get my love anymore

[Refrain: Tamar]
How could you be gettin' 'round on me, gettin' around me?
Why'd you have to play me like that, baby?
That's all I want to know, tell me, whoa
Why were you gettin' around on me, sleepin' 'round on me? (yeah)
I would never do you like that, baby
And I'm the last to know, baby

[Chorus: The Braxtons / (Tamar)]
Now everybody knows (why does everyone know?)
That you have a girl on the side
Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah (why does everybody know?)
That you're not doin' me right (whoa)
Why you have to be the kind that won't love faithfully? (why do you, whoa)
I don't want no man with a girl on the side (I don't want no man, I don't want no man)
Now everybody knows (why does everybody know?)
That you have a girl on the side
Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah (why does everybody know?)
That you're not doin' me right (yeah, yeah)
Why you have to be the kind that won't love faithfully? (have to be, oh, unfaithfully)
I don't want no man with a girl on the side (yeah, I don't, I don't want, I don't want no man)

[Outro: Tamar]
How could you be gettin' 'round on me, (yeah), yeah yeah?
How could you be gettin' around on me, oh?
(Now everybody knows, yeah yeah yeah)
I don't want your love, I don't need your love
I'll be fine
I won't spend my time
Alone, alone, alone, alone
I won't be alone
