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
