I can tell by the way that he's goin' on He just don't have a clue what he's got at home Every night, runnin' up the streets with the guys While you're fast asleep thinkin' that You just won't see nothing at all But he don't know that Every time he breaks your heart Girl, I'm the first one that you call Every time he lets you down I'm there to catch you when you fall But, girl, its k**ing to me to go another day And I can't take no more I don't wanna be I don't wanna be there every time he makes you cry I don't wanna be there when he doesn't treat you right I don't wanna be that person in your life Don't wanna be the other guy I don't wanna be there every time he treats you bad I don't wanna be the best thing that you never had I don't wanna be here left out on the side Don't wanna be the other guy no more And it’s k**in' me that he don't understand How lucky he should feel to be your man 'Cause to him you're just another girl But, to me, you would be my world Just think about it girl (It was me) Who made you laugh all the times you cried When the tears rolled down your face (It was me) The one who held you close Letting you know that everything'll be okay
(It was me) Right from the start, but I never had your heart 'Cause you gave it to someone who didn't care Now I don't wanna be I don't wanna be there every time he makes you cry I don't wanna be there when he doesn't treat you right I don't wanna be that person in your life Don't wanna be the other guy I don't wanna be there every time he treats you bad I don't wanna be the best thing that you never had I don't wanna be here left out on the side Don't wanna be the other guy (listen girl) I wanna be the one to love ya I wanna be the one to kiss ya I wanna be the one to treat you right And spend my whole life with ya Wanna be the one you see when you wake up And hold you in my arms after we make your love Gotta be your everything I don't wanna be I don't wanna be there every time he makes you cry I don't wanna be there when he doesn't treat you right I don't wanna be that person in your life Don't wanna be the other guy I don't wanna be there every time he treats you bad I don't wanna be the best thing that you never had I don't wanna be here left out on the side Don't wanna be the other guy
