[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh
[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 (No one else)
Why'd you have to go and play yourself?
You shoulda told me
You had a man
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Seven weeks of passion
Sexing
Six nights a week
Left my body exhausted
And my knees feel so weak
Now you're acting mysterious, girl
You flip a script
And I shoulda seen it coming
But it happened so quick
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
You shoulda told me (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
[Verse 2]
I would never believe it
But I
I seen it myself
Peeping through steamy windows
Going 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
[Pre-Chorus]
So I made all these plans (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
[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
[Bridge]
You shoulda told me
You had a man
You shoulda told me
You had a man (You shoulda told me)
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 never, 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
[Chorus Outro]
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
