Undercover Lover

I didn't even see you coming but yet u want me to watch you leave A room filled with silence, and the sound of broken dreams I try to hide that my voice is shaking My legs are weak and my heart is breaking All this is is just a casual fling 2 years later look what's happening Took me by surprise U came out of nowhere Now U walk away and expect me not to care Kept my walls up, Like a gated community Never really knowing if u could be true to me Never really trusting or fully letting u in Kept it cool kept it fun never making a scene But now the only way to keep me is if we do it discreetly Cos u think u moved on just abit too swiftly And now u start to realise how much u miss me So u start coming over and trying to kiss me But I ain't no garlic bread, no side order I ain't some stolen moments lover I'm the real deal I deserve full time So of these sneaky plans of urs u better call time Go back to ur wife, does she know ur single? Ring in ur pocket and ur ready to mingle U think ur so clever think ur so low key But look in her eyes, does she look happy?! Turning a blind eye to the mistakes ur making Trying to stop her own heart from breaking Doesn't want to expose that her legs are shaking Carrying the weight of a soul that's aching But with a baby on her hip that won't stop crying She finds that womanly strength and just keeps on trying Draws on a smile as she makes the breakfast But Uve no time to talk, just off to work first A faint peck on the cheek is all that u offer Distracted by the thoughts of a secret lover But let me tell u something about that womanly strength It soon wakes up to not needing men To not needing the bullshit the lies and the tears To not pushing through for just a few more years To not wearing that same smile when u come home late Blocking her mind, she wont even speculate And the parts of her life that u neglected She's found the strength to get it corrected So that bed u always relied u could lie in Soon comes a day u won't dare to climb in Won't try to squeeze in along side her confidence Her power her strength her independence If u pull back the cover there's nowhere for you She refills the parts drained empty by u So ur fired, redundant ur just not needed And when that day comes u just won't believe it But the Queen u thought would forever be true Needs a king by her side not a joker like u So no I won't meet u round the back of the pub Neck ur pint and go home to the woman u love Put ur time and effort into what's already urs Instead of chasing around wanting more And girls have respect for urselves and others Don't sneak around like some undercover lovers Don't do the dirty on the queens at home One day it will be ur turn to be home alone Say no to the sneaking the liars and the cheats Say no to the back street one night beats Say yes to the men who know how to keep their women All day respect and all night loving Who dedicate their lives to being true to u Giving one 100 not 20% to 2 They know their women got a sparkle to their smile And a bounce in their step which could last for miles
