[Verse 1]
baby(sit down)
i got somethin that i need to say (right now)
before the rumors spread and make their way (around town)
i thought id be ur man and tell you first
but i kno its gonna hurt
baby please let me explain
it happened all of a sudden outta control
she had my heart and would not let it go
im not tryin to say that it was okay
or that i didnt do it
[Chorus]
but i gotta tell the truth(the whole truth)
with my right hand up
cuz i dont want to lose u
its time to man up( i just gotta be the one to tell you)
baby believe me when i say
u dont want to find out the hard way
[Verse 2]
baby if i would have never seen her walkin down the block
i probably would have not
pulled over and asked her if she needed a ride
but i noticed she had make up on her eyes
and she started to cry
i said baby please explain
she said her man put his hands on her he was outta control
and she really needed someone to hold and not let go
and then she looked into my eyes just like u do
and i imagined that she was u
[Chorus]
Now i gotta tell the truth (the whole truth)
with my right hand up(cuz i dont wanna lose you)
its time to man up( i just gotta be the one to tell you)
baby believ eme when i say
you dont want to find out the hard way
[Verse 3]
baby i wish that i was a magician and i
coudl make all of this dissapear
and baby i wish that i could go back in time
and trust me baby we wouldnt be here
but you been so good to me
how i could i do this to u
and i never meant to hurt you
how could i prove it to u
im just tryna see what been on my mind cuz it hurt you
[Chorus}
i gotta tell the truth (the whole truth)
with my right hand up(cuz i dont wanna lose you)
its time to man up( i just gotta be the one to tell you)
baby believe me when i say
you dont want to find out the hard way
woahhhhh....
