Way back when

Way back when

Way back when

Way back when

I remember when we first met

And were just friends and I could be myself

Reminiscin' on way back when you'd never ask questions

Just got buck wild and had love sessions

You were the only I knew who had a clue and accepted

Every part and never disrespected

Never raised your voice now you're constantly checkin'

When I became your woman, our friend got neglected

You're not the same man I selected

No longer feel connected, I feel rejected

You used to take me out to eat, treat me extra sweet

Now you change your plans, week after week

I need a man who can understand all the things I'm goin' through

The ups and downs involved in doin' what I do

Love me at my worst, love me at my best

Never afraid that he'll get played

Way back when (When everything was alright)

Way back when (You used to freak and do me all night)

Way back when (Doin' damage on my bedroom floor)

Way back when (Beggin' for more)

Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)

Way back when (Spend forty for a bottle on your favorite cologne)

Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)

Way back when (Get the evil eye to keep the hoochies in check)

Said I was your homie and your one and only

Promise that you'll never me lonely, that's phony

Now this is what I'm tryin' to get across

The things that made us special, all the things that we lost

Strollin' on the beach, whisper in my ear

Tellin' me what I wanna hear

Now inside, you sendin' me in circles

Round and round, now what happened to the common ground

And the man I thought I found

When your boys wanted to hang I could always come around

You would rush to my house after work

Now you hangin' out late at night chasin' skirt and I'm hurt

It's drivin' me insane

I can't play these silly games

Man, you know you've changed

Not worth a thing to you and I know

I'm lookin' at the front door

Way back when (Knockin' boot until' the break of dawn)

Way back when (Fallin' asleep with the TV on)

Way back when (Lots of presents on your birthday)

Way back when (Used to hit the movies every Thursday)

Way back when (Sneakin' around on the down low)

Way back when (Undercover lover so they don't know)

Way back when (Bumpin' beats in the Jeep)

Way back when (You know the way we used to creep way back when)

One day

One day you will see, what you had in me

Wait and see, what you had in me

One day

One day you will see, what you had in me

Wait and see, what you had in me

One day (You will see, baby)

One day you will see, what you had in me (There's a man out there for me)

Wait and see, what you had in me (For me)

Yeah, now listen up ladies

You need a man who can understand

All the things you're goin' through

The ups and downs and doin' what you gotta do

Love you at your worst and love you at your best

Be there through thick and thin and stand through every test

Way back when (When everything was alright)

Way back when (You used to freak and do me all night)

Way back when (Doin' damage on the bedroom floor)

Way back when (You're eggin' for more)

Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)

Way back when (Spend forty for a bottle on your favorite cologne)

Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)

Way back when (Get the evil eye to keep the hoochies in check)

Way back when (A simple shoulder to cry on)

Way back when (Got hella bills on the telephone)

Way back when (Ain't got no money but the loving's on)

Way back when (Always pack your bags but you're never gone)

Way back when (Sneakin' around on the down low)

Way back when (Undercover lover so they don't know)

Way back when (Bumpin' the beats in the Jeep)

Way back when (You know the way we used to creep way back when)

One day (Way back when)

One day you will see, what you had in me (Way back when)

Wait and see, what you had in me (Way back when)

One day (Way back when)

One day you will see, what you had in me (Way back when)

Wait and see, what you had in me (Way back when)

Way back when (When everything was alright)

Way back when (You used to freak it to me all night)

Way back when (Doin' damage on my bedroom floor)

Way back when (Beggin' for more)

Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)

Way back when (Spend forty for a bottle on your favorite cologne)

Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)
