Lyrics

I didn't know that she'd be up late, my cupcake
Sittin' there waitin' at the front gate, past hate
She didn't smile, she'd been there for a while
Gettin' hostile, lettin' all the adjectives compile
She didn't speak, though, she didn't have to
I knew the answer even though I asked, "Why you mad, boo?"
And as she turned around to go inside
I couldn't help but wonder, was it obvious I lied?
See I went out at a quarter past ten
Never really knowing about all the trouble I'd get in
And even though my girl was here alone all along
She probably knows there's somethin' goin' on
I was late again

You see I met some fellas at the club like I always do
Bone, Special K, J Dub...you know, my normal crew
We had a ball, the place was goin' off
Oh, and ah, there was a honie involved
See I was playin' just sayin' what my other boys was sayin'
Didn't even think she heard me 'til she started okayin'
I tried to walk away...but I couldn't, I had to stay
The baby looked so good in a naughty kind of way
Then what was I supposed to do, she wanted more
She left the floor, took my hand, and dragged me out the door
She started doin' things to me that I ain't never had before
'Til midnight became half past four
And I was late again

I Couldn't stand to be a lonely one, she's my only one
I wish that I could make her understand that this was only fun
Just a silly fling, didn't mean a thing
I'd probably even struggle to remember girlie's name
I gotta make sure that she knows that it's the last time
Apologize right, candle light, and a glass of wine
Write it down to define and to outline
All the different ways I'm gonna shine
With a smile on my face, I flipped the switch for the light
I looked around somethin' wasn't quite right
I checked the bedroom, all her things were gone
I had to stop and take a breath to realize what's goin' on
She said to meet her at a quarter past ten, I was fifteen minutes early
But I was late again
