Girl, I'm not proud of myself
This is a lightning worth hell
When I need you, I lose my cool
When I'm shaking his hand
Inside I know that he can't
Get inside of you like I do

We feel it so strong
And we both know that it's wrong
I get distraught when you leave my place
Whatever we do
I know that it can't erase

(Girl, I know that he's your husband)
When he's loving you and trusting you
And proud to call you his wife

(Girl, I know that he's your husband)
While you're hugging him and kissing him
He'd gladly lay down his life

Girl, I know that it ain't cool
What am I supposed to do
Every time I see your husband?

You're like the ball on the bat
You got your nails in my back
And I'm wondering what he would do
For sake of argument if
He found his way to my crib
And he walked in on me and you

Your body knows that you're mine
We've done this so many times
I'm sure he tastes me when you're with him
Whatever we do
This crazy relationship we're in

(Girl, I know that he's your husband)
When he's loving you and trusting you
And proud to call you his wife

(Girl, I know that he's your husband)
While you're hugging him and kissing him
He'd gladly lay down his life

Girl, I know that it ain't cool
What am I supposed to do
Every time I see your husband?

You don't have to explain yourself to me
Do what you gotta do to live
And just enjoy yourself with me
Trust me, I know just what this is

And if you ever say you have to go
I'll only have to understand
You had obligations [???]
So whatever, it's gonna be alright with me
You got me here
(Girl, I know that he's your husband)

(Girl, I know that he's your husband)
While you're hugging him and kissing him
He'd gladly lay down his life

Girl, I know that it ain't cool
What am I supposed to do
Every time I see your husband?
