There comes a time in every man's life
You're gonna do wrong
I made a mistake girl..Just let me..
Just let me explain

I can't believe it
Although I did it
I've never been that kinda man
I must admit it
I wasn't with it
But you were the best I've ever had

Right now I'm going through some changes
I've always thought I was
A faithful kind of man
I never thought I would be tempted
Baby you licked my lips
And I said right now...right now

In the heat of the moment
Baby I lost my head. Lost my mind
Didn't know what to do
In the heat of the moment
Baby I fell in lust with you

Now that I've done it
Oh how I want it
But I've got to be a stronger man
I love my lady
Can't lose my baby
Cause if she knew
I'd lose everything I have

Don't want to go through no more changes
From now on I promise I will be a better man
But here you are again temptin'
Baby when you lick my lips. I said
Right now, right now

Repeat chorus 2x

Baby Baby you've got to slow down
From now on I promise I will be a better man
Now...Now I know that you know
That we can't carry on like this 
Girl stop...just stop
Baby when you kissed my lips, I said
Right now...Right now

Repeat chorus 3x
