I TOOK HIS WOMAN



I took his woman so it's been SAID
but what he failed to realize is that their love was DEAD

I guess when you're hurting you have to blame it on SOMEONE
If he had spent more time with her they wouldn't now be DONE

So I guess it's my time to see what I can show HER
learn from his mistakes and show him how to hold HER

You see he played his cards wrong right from the START
while he was playing a SPADE I was playing a HEART

It seems as though I had the best hand all the TIME
he was playing the wrong game that's why now she's MINE

I took his woman and now he's carrying a GRUDGE
she treats me so well that's why I refuse to BUDGE

He tells me if I got out of the way they could work things OUTIf I got out of the way that I wouldn't DOUBT

but that's not going to happen not in this LIFE
because she chose to be with me and now she's my WIFE

I took his woman so it's been SAID
why is it taking this guy so long to get it in his HEAD

Sometimes it takes someone else to help you see the LIGHT
but he's wasting his time he can't win this FIGHT

I took his woman now I must AGREE
she no longer wants to be with him she's going to stay with ME

I took his woman now he wants to be my FRIEND
I guess that's just another way he feels he can WIN

But he has another thought coming if he thinks that's going to HAPPEN
she used to love him but now I'm the CAPTAIN
