His girl and i
Laid in bed from time to time
Don't ask me why
I never was this kind of guy
She said in time
I'd be hers and she'd be mine
I thought my my
Soon found out it was a lie
Just like a fool, there I waited
A year or two, you delayed it
Why did you lie, while you led me
On and on and on and on
You said, you said
It'd be alright
You said, you said
Hold on boy and give it time
You said, you said
It'd be alright
Well I don't need this kind of love
In my life
Out with my pride
I kept watchin' on the side
I can't deny
I know my nose was open wide
Soon she'd be gone
Love ain't happenin' in her home
She said bye bye
But it was said to the wrong guy
You felt so good, drove me crazy
I fell for you, who could blame me
How could you lie, you just led me
On and on and on and on
Hook
Never thought I'd be with a girl who wasn't free
Never planned to share in another man's love
Never thought I'd be the one taken for a ride
Taken for the ride of my life
You said, you said
It'd be alright
You said, you said
Never thought I'd be with a girl who wasn't free
Never planned to share in another man's love
Never thought I'd be the one taken for a ride
Taken for the ride of my life
Hook
You said in time you would be mine
You told a lie I took a ride
Out went my pride, my nose open wide
Wide, wide, wide, wide
You said it's good, I say it's wrong
You said you'd leave, but you're still at home
Just like a fool, I stayed alone
Why...
Hook
You said baby, you said mama
You said baby, you told a lie
I don't know why
You said baby, you said mama
I don't need this kind of love
In my life...
You Said, You Said
