The fourth track on Solange’s sophomore album is a liberating address from Solange to one of the many women she discovers her partner is messing around with.
[Spoken]
Are we recording?
[Verse 1]
Enlightening charmer, sent from where
A Casanova, lovely glare
And I was chosen, I was there
The wells get deeper, more unfolds
And at the bottom, there she goes
But wells are endless, I've found more
[Pre-Chorus]
Flowers, candy, flirty late nights on the speed dial, that was you too
Dinner, movie, sweetheart kisses, he don't dance, but tangos with two
I thought you plus me divided me from him
But I discovered many more and again and again
[Chorus]
And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, how he stole many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one
[Verse 2]
I held the title, wore the crown
I was the trophy, while you ducked down
And she was cool with just fooling around (Yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)
Now number four was there to ride
And five was crazy, his wild child
And when we're rocky he calls number nine
[Pre-Chorus]
Flowers, candy, flirty late nights on the speed dial, that was you too
Dinner, movie, sweetheart kisses, he don't dance, but tangos with two
I thought you plus me divided me from him
But I discovered many more and more and again
[Chorus]
And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, how he steals many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
I would've been the one
[Bridge]
I was the one, yes I was the one
And yes that was my name inked up on his arm
And if he loved me that much and still did me wrong
(You feeling sorry, but you are holding on)
I was the one, yes I was the one
Key word is was, yes I was the one
I figured out he was empty on my own
(He had to find the answer in something not someone)
[Chorus]
And you don't know, you fill many spaces
And she don't know, she's one of many lies
And he don't know, he stole many places
And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried
Cause I would've been the one
