Boyz II Men

Yeah, oh, pa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra
Oh, oh, oh, hey
Used to work every day
I guess I never really thought about it (Uh)
Around the world playing the field but you were chill
As I reflect it seems you just allowed it
All the Facebook photographs of ladies adorin' me
Meanwhile, you were sitting home alone (Oh)
(Take it, Nate)

My world's falling apart
Caught me off guard, because we never ever talked about it
Now heartbreak is the tune, a million words, a million tears just Can’t do nothing about it
It’s my bad, I don’t want you to apologize for what you feel
Girl, you were looking for the love you needed

Images keep on swirling in my mind, so every day I gotta pray about it
(Not like you)
Truth is I don’t question your character just so hurt and really mad about it
(Not like you)
Baby, you were selfless while I was selfishly busy doing me
(Not like you)
I got too busy almost losing you
(I know it’s not like you)

I knew I had you so I took your love for granted like I really didn’t care about it
(Not like you)
Never realized what you got until it's gone now all I do is sit and think about it
(Not like you)
Cast the hurt, and the shame, and my ego’s blame in the sea of forgetfulness
(Not like you)
Please forgive me I’ve been such a fool
(I guess it’s not like you)

I almost lost you, now I know for sure
We have a love that’s worth fighting for
Even though it hurts, I’m gonna hold on tighter, I won’t let you go
When you find the one you love has been cheating
And saying sorry is a state of being
I guess I gotta learn my lesson from painful memories

Images keep on swirling in my mind so every day I gotta pray about it
(Not like you)
Truth is, I don’t question your character. I'm just so hurt and really mad about it
(Not like you)
Baby, you were selfless while I was selfishly doing me
(Not like you)
I got too busy almost losing you
(I know it’s not like you)

I knew I had you, so I took your love for granted like I really didn’t care about it
(Not like you)
Never realized what you got, until it's gone, all I do is sit and think about it
(Not like you)
Cast the hurt, and the shame, and my ego’s blame in the sea of forgetfulness
(Not like you)
(Please forgive me, I’ve been such a fool)
Such a fool, such a fool
(But this is not like you)
Not like you, oh
Baby (Not like you)
Baby, please (Not like you)
Please, don’t leave me baby, no (Not like you)
I got too busy almost losing you (Forgive me, forgive me)
I know it’s not like you, oh (Not like you)
It’s just so not like you baby, I don’t know (Not like you)
Cast the hurt, and the shame, and my ego’s blame in the sea of forgetfulness (Not like you)
Forgive me I’ve been such a fool
But this is not like you

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
