Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side I know you want us both And I know the reason why (I know why you want her) I can give you so much lovin' But presents she can buy ya (How much can money buy) Last night you're in my arms But tonight I'm all alone How long (how long) will this game go on How long (how long) oh oh how long Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side It's plain, plain enough to see That you're not happy with me I can't keep playing games To keep my heart straight I want to turn to walk away But it's harder to do than it is to say How long (how long) will this game go on How long (how long) oh oh how long Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (I bet you got another, yeah you got another lover) Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (I caught you, I caught you with her twice) Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (Can she love you, can she love you like me) Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (Can she love you, can she set you free) Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (You got another lover, you got another lover) Betcha got a chick on the side Show you another trick I know you got a chick on the side (I know you got another, another chick on the side) It might hurt me for a while But one thing I am sure I'll get over you, yes I'll find someone new Each time I open up my heart It seems to just get torn apart How long Will this game go on How long Oh oh how long
