Spoken:
There comes a time in every man's life
You're gonna do wrong
I made a mistake girl, just let me
Just let me explain
I can't believe it
Although I did it
I've never been that kinda man
I must admit it
I wasn't with it
But you were the best I've ever had
Right now I'm going thru some changes
I've always thought I was
A faithful kinda man
I never thought I would be tempted
Baby you licked my lips
And I said right now, right now
In the heat of the moment
Baby I lost my head, lost my mind
Didn't know what to do
In the heat of the moment
Baby I feel in lust with you
I lost my head, I lost my mind
Now that I've done it
Oh how I want it
But I've gotta be a stronger man
I love my lady
And I can't lose my baby
'cause if she knew
I'd lose everything I have
Don't want to go thru no more changes
From now on I promise I will be a better man
But here you are again temptin'
Baby when you kissed my lips, I said
Right now, right now

Spoken:
Baby, baby you've got to
You've got to slow down
Girl, cool your heels
From now on I promise I will be a better man
Spoken:
Now, now I know that you know
That we can't carry on like this
Girl stop, just stop
Baby when you kissed my lips, I said
Right now, right now
