I found out that you care for another guy I found out that you want for another smile We are alone as two different people can be And it's hurting me so Just to know that you don't care for me The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids He won't understand when you're down the way that I did We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again I found out that your heart's in another guy You found out that you're tellin' another lie We've gone apart and goin' our own separate ways And you don't understand Why I love you and want you to stay The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids He won't understand when you're down the way that I did We had it all, you and I, we just need to try again You don't know it's me that you need You're thinking of him and I can't compete Well I'm here to say I still want you back again
