Way Back When

[Intro]
Way back when
Way back when
Way back when
Way back when

[Verse 1]
I remember when we first met
And were just friends and I could be myself
Reminiscin' on way back when you'd never ask questions
Just got buck wild and had love sessions
You were the only I knew who had a clue and accepted
Every part and never disrespected
Never raised your voice now you're constantly checkin'
When I became your woman, our friend got neglected
You're not the same man I selected
No longer feel connected, I feel rejected
You used to take me out to eat, treat me extra sweet
Now you change your plans, week after week
I need a man who can understand all the things I'm goin' through
The ups and downs involved in doin' what I do
Love me at my worst, love me at my best
Never afraid that he'll get played

[Chorus]
Way back when (When everything was alright)
Way back when (You used to freak and do me all night)
Way back when (Doin' damage on my bedroom floor)
Way back when (Beggin' for more)
Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)
Way back when (Spend forty for a bottle on your favorite cologne)
Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)
Way back when (Get the evil eye to keep the hoochies in check)

[Verse 2]
Said I was your homie and your one and only
Promise that you'll never me lonely, that's phony
Now this is what I'm tryin' to get across
The things that made us special, all the things that we lost
Strollin' on the beach, whisper in my ear
Tellin' me what I wanna hear
Now inside, you sendin' me in circles
Round and round, now what happened to the common ground
And the man I thought I found
When your boys wanted to hang I could always come around
You would rush to my house after work
Now you hangin' out late at night chasin' skirt and I'm hurt
It's drivin' me insane
I can't play these silly games
Man, you know you've changed
Not worth a thing to you and I know
I'm lookin' at the front door

[Chorus]
Way back when (Knockin' boot until' the break of dawn)
Way back when (Fallin' asleep with the TV on)
Way back when (Lots of presents on your birthday)
Way back when (Used to hit the movies every Thursday)
Way back when (Sneakin' around on the down low)
Way back when (Undercover lover so they don't know)
Way back when (Bumpin' beats in the Jeep)
Way back when (You know the way we used to creep way back when)

[Bridge]
One day
One day you will see, what you had in me
Wait and see, what you had in me
One day
One day you will see, what you had in me
Wait and see, what you had in me
One day (You will see, baby)
One day you will see, what you had in me (There's a man out there for me)
Wait and see, what you had in me (For me)

[Verse 3]
Yeah, now listen up ladies
You need a man who can understand
All the things you're goin' through
The ups and downs and doin' what you gotta do
Love you at your worst and love you at your best
Be there through thick and thin and stand through every test

[Chorus]
Way back when (When everything was alright)
Way back when (You used to freak and do me all night)
Way back when (Doin' damage on my bedroom floor)
Way back when (Beggin' for more)
Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)
Way back when (Spend forty for a bottle on your favorite cologne)
Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)
Way back when (Get the evil eye to keep the hoochies in check)
Way back when (A simple shoulder to cry on)
Way back when (Got hell of bills on the telephone)
Way back when (Ain't got no money but the lovin's on)
Way back when (Always pack your bags but you're never gone)
Way back when (Sneakin' around on the down low)
Way back when (Undercover lover so they don't know)
Way back when (Bumpin' the beats in the Jeep)
Way back when (You know the way we used to creep way back when)

[Outro]
One day (Way back when)
One day you will see, what you had in me (Way back when)
Wait and see, what you had in me (Way back when)
One day (Way back when)
One day you will see, what you had in me (Way back when)
Wait and see, what you had in me (Way back when)
Way back when (When everything was alright)
Way back when (You used to freak it to me all night)
Way back when (Doin' damage on my bedroom floor)
Way back when (Beggin' for more)
Way back when (Dedicatin' songs on the radio)
Way back when (Spend forty-four on bottle on your favorite cologne)
Way back when (Sportin' hickies on my neck)
