Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah) 
If they gleam in the sun 
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember} 
And if it came in the sack 
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember} 

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then 
{I could remember} 
But Ohhh girl 
I forgot to be your lover 

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5 
Double-up overtime then {I could remember} 
If it wasn't for the Sunday all star 
weekend games girl {I could remember} 

And if it wasn't for the dough 
Gettin fifty g's a show girl ya know that {I could remember} 
But silly me, silly me 
Ohhh 
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover 

Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah) 
Spend my life makin' love to you 
Oh, girl 
Oh, I forgot to be your lover 

When she starts bringin' up old dirt 
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother) 
Findin' numbers in her purse 
Better put that woman first (Yeah) 

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, no) 
When she starts playin' little games 
Comin' in late from work 
You better put that woman first 

If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt 
Still I'd be chasin' skirts then {I could remember} 
And if it wasn't for that fight last night 
You smashin out my headlights then {I could remember} 

If it wasn't for parole 
Steady duckin' my P O girl you know {I could remember} 
But silly me, silly me, babe 
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover 

Now I realize that you need love too 
Spend my life makin' love to you 
Oh, girl 
Oh, I forgot to be your lover 

When she starts bringin' up old dirt (Bringin' up old shhhh) 
And the fights keep getting worse 
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...) 
Findin' numbers in her purse (I'm tellin' you, brother) 
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman first) 

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, yeah) 
When she starts playin' little games (I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm tellin' you, brother) 
Comin' in late from work 
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first) 

{So many times} Actin like it wasn't really nothin' 
{So many ways} Kept to myself, always runnin' 
{So many games} All that I sin 
{So many words} I need you to stay 
{Always came first} Even though sometimes fallin' 
second 
{Came down to love} You know I had to win the last race 
{Spend some time} Put in some work 
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first 

When she starts bringin' up old dirt 
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin' worse) 
Findin' numbers in her purse (In her purse) 
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first) 

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Ooh, yeah) 
When she starts playin' little games (Her little games) 
Comin' in late from work (I'mma say it again) 
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first) 

When she starts bringin' up old dirt 
And the fights keep getting worse (She's gonna leave you) 
Findin' numbers in her purse 
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah) 

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 
When she starts playin' little games (Yeah, yeah) 
Comin' in late from work 
You better put that woman first
