I Can Be
Aaliyah Haughton · Other Songs - Aaliyah
Oh... ohhhh... ohhh no...
Maybe I'm just wrong in feelin the way I do
Thoughts indecent, want to put those down to you
I know you have a girl, I don't want to tie
When you're free one night to make those hours mine
I can be the other woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That'll be alright, alright, alright
Love just ain't my thang, but half of you might be
Enough for two or more, don't hurt to me any
Fine like expensive wine, drunk off one glass of you
I think more might be too much, so weekends for me are cool
I can be the other woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That'll be alright, alright, alright
I can be the other woman in your life
I can be the other reason you're out at night
I can be all the things you thought she might
I can be on the side
That'll be alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright....
(repeat until end)
