If Only

"I want you to know that

I can't let you go" -

Damn, baby

If only we had met just a little bit sooner

Then you wouldn't have to deal with that guy

You know what I mean {"I know" - [Linda Jones]}

Yeah

Hey, I don't know him

I don't like him, been hurting you for quite some time

How could you be a sad girl when you're so fine

Get that fool off your mind (Get that fool off your mind)

I know, that I can do you better than he can (Better than he can)

I may not wear no diamond rings

And I might not sport a bunch of fancy things

But there's one thing that I know

That I can do you better than he can

Now I don't mean to interfere

If you wanted to, I'll respect you and stay clear

It's just I know

That I can do you better than he can

So if you got nothin' to do

You wanna try someone new, let me be the one you look to

Because I know

That me and you can ourselves a lot of fun this weekend

"If only (Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby)

We had met sooner

We should have met sooner

If only (Darling, darling, darling, darling)

We had met sooner (Sooner)" -

You ain't next to him, when you should be laying next to me

Guess I gotta pay the agony

If I wanna have your ecstacy

I know, that I can do you better than he can

It can't be hard to take his place

Let me know if I'm out of place, like the smile on your pretty face

I know

That I can do you better than he can

Let me turn your frown around

I mean, upside down, pick you up and

All he does is let you down

I know, that I can do you better than he can

You really got nothing to lose

Make that fool old news, let me be the one you choose

Because I know

That he's been treating you like you're not even breathin'

"If only (Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby)

We had met sooner

We should have met sooner

If only (Darling, darling, darling, darling)

We had met sooner (Sooner)" -

How could you let him do

All them things that he does to you (What he does to you)

Hey, come on girl, you know that love ain't true

I know, that I can do you better than he can

I mean, what's he got that I don't got

Besides that big ass pad and that Benz on twenty-fours in the parking lot

Shit

I can still do you better than he can

See, I saw you crack a smile

When's the last time you made him smile

Baby doll, I know it's been a while

I know, that I can do you better than he can

You really got nothing to lose

Make that fool old news, let me be the one you choose

Because I know

That you should leave him and don't even give him a reason

"If only (Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby)

We had met sooner

We should have met sooner

If only (Darling, darling, darling, darling)

We had met sooner (Sooner)" -

"Yeah, yeah

Oh yeah"
