Wait a minute There's something on my mind I can't hold in any longer Turn around Don't just turn the radio down I don't want to hear "oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh" No, no, no (uh uh uh uh uh uh) Wait a minute There's something I want to say [Chorus] Tell me who joined us in the bed last night Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right A little to drink, but had a lot to say Tell me who it was, tell me who it was Whoever she was, she was on your mind You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was [Chorus] You left home early And you came home late (again) I know there's something goin' on Tell me what it is What does she have that I don't? Don't try to even lie I just want to know the truth Last night while you were in my bed You brought Cathy, Tracy, Trina home with you Tell me [Chorus] (I'll tell ya how I knew) I could feel it in your touch Ain't lovin' good enough, no (Baby who's foolin' who?) You come home tired all the time And you don't let me get mine, no (Now before I say we're through) She played you for a fool She can't love you like I do You can say what you want to But last night you brought someone home with you Tell me [Chorus: Repeats]
