Lyrics
You were out there
And I thought that you were for the asking
I've never been unfair
But I was looking for a love that would be everlasting
Yes, I was
Three years of taking anything that I could find
A one-night stand you understand wasn't what I had in mind
Believe me that I lost control
I wanted you and that was all that really mattered
Oh yeah
Oh, I lost control
And I couldn't tell if this whole world is shattered, oh
Lover, all I could see was what you whipped on me and I lost my control, oh
Now he was your man
He had his faults but you done your best to stick by him
But then one day bam, bam, he shot you down
Without anybody around who would try him, oh no
And this what happened
Three years of taking anything that he could find
A one night stand he didn't understand
It wasn't what you had in mind and I believe that you lost control
You ran to me, and it felt like a whole new feeling, yeah
Oh, you lost control
You had an open wound, and I was so good at healing
But all you could see was the good side of me and you lost control
Oh, you know that you lost control
No consideration, we couldn't help ourselves inside
It was a sorry situation, and he came to me one night and he cried
He said you cut me worse, ow!
Than any woman ever hurt a man
I said, "My man I'm real sorry, but that was not my plan and I just believe
You see, this is what really happened I
I just lost control, that's what I did
I just lost control
My whole world changed around"
And you were running free when you came to me
Oh, we tried and we tried our best
With you and me babe, and him as well
We were all losing in the game
Look like they hating, ow
You lost, you lost, you lost, you lost, you lost all your control
Oh babe, I believe to my soul
When you came into my life
