Darkchild, oh yeah
Toni Braxton, oh
Ha ha, uh huh
Yeah, uh uh
Darkchild, yeah

Listen, girl
Who do you think I am?
Don't you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?
Looking at me like I'm hurt
When I'm the one who said I didn't want it to work
Don't you forget I had him first?

What you thinkin'?
Stop blamin' me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know, now here's the chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been, yeah?
Not be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

Listen, girl
Didn't he tell you the truth?
If not then, why don't you ask him?
Then maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worrying about me
And hopefully you won't find
All the reasons why his love didn't count
And why we couldn't work it out

What you thinkin'?
Stop blamin' me
He wasn't man enough for me
If you don't know, now here's the chance
I've already had your man
Do you wonder just where he's been, yeah?
Not be worried about him
Now it's time you know the truth
I think he's just the man for you

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

Oh yeah
So many reasons why our love is through, yeah
What makes you think he'll be good to you, no
It makes no sense 'cause he will never change
Girl, you better recognize the game, oh yeah

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

What are you thinking?
Did you know about us back then?
Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?
I'm not thinking 'bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn't man enough for me

    man enough for her... well no shit... listen to her voice. it's so deep i don't think any man's voice would be deeper than hers... songs about a girl trying to tell another girl i don't want man i had him already and... blah blah

    haha okay so i agree with everyone, her voice is pretty deep, but the song seems to reach out to people who've had a bad expierience. not trying to complain.. ive had great relationships, ive been lucky, however i know theyre out there. i think some lyrics might be wrong.. instead of : "do you know about your boyfriend, girlfriend" im pretty sure its: "do you know i dumped your boyfriend, girlfriend." thats all. :)

    i dont think this song is as simple as it sounds. she's not being all noble trying to warn this girl about her ex being 'not man enough'. the truth is, she's missing the ex and she's jealous this girl married him so she's slagging the guy off trying to hide her jealousy. a) why would u bother if u truly didn't care about ur ex? obviously u care enough to know they're married and trying to ruin their relationship by reminding the girl how much her husband used to love this other woman (who wants to hear that?!) b) she explicitly says 'i'm not thinking about him', which is an obvious lie cos she keeps asking the girl to ask him about their past c) she reminisces he 'begged to stay' with her, but he wasn't 'man enough' (said no to him) but regrets it now d) she's jealous that they 'couldn't work it out', but it obviously did for them (cos they're married). she tries to sabotage it by saying 'it makes no sense cos he will never change' i think this is a classic case of not knowing what u're missing til it's gone....
