Someone's been steppin' in While you've been steppin' out You thought you were slick, my friend You thought you had it figured out Honey But she was tired of bein' used Heard your last bad excuse Never thought she'd cut you loose Don't look so surprised You know you had it comin' If you hadn't have stayed out all night long (You wouldn't be sittin' here wonderin' why) (Waitin' by the phone with a tear in your eye) Runnin' all over town doin' her wrong (Actin' like you ain't got a thing to lose) (Thinkin' you're a player but you're playin' a fool) Maybe you could've held on to what you had (Should've treated her better when you had the chance) Good thing's gone bad, yeah, it has I know when you come and go And I know how long you'll be But don't look across the street For sympathy 'Cause you're not gonna get it Well, you're such a busy man She don't seem to fit your plans I'll take her off your hands Don't worry 'bout it, brother You know I got you covered
