Put That Woman First - Lyrics by Jaheim


Lyrics
Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
\r
If they gleam in the sun
\r
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}
\r
And if it came in the sack
\r
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}
\r

\r
And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then
\r
{I could remember}
\r
But Ohhh girl
\r
I forgot to be your lover
\r

\r
If it wasn't for the 9 to 5
\r
Double-up overtime then {I could remember}
\r
If it wasn't for the Sunday all star
\r
weekend games girl {I could remember}
\r

\r
And if it wasn't for the dough
\r
Gettin fifty g's a show girl ya know that {I could remember}
\r
But silly me, silly me
\r
Ohhh
\r
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover
\r

\r
Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
\r
Spend my life makin' love to you
\r
Oh, girl
\r
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
\r

\r
When she starts bringin' up old dirt
\r
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
\r
Findin' numbers in her purse
\r
Better put that woman first (Yeah)
\r

\r
And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, no)
\r
When she starts playin' little games
\r
Comin' in late from work
\r
You better put that woman first
\r

\r
If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt
\r
Still I'd be chasin' skirts then {I could remember}
\r
And if it wasn't for that fight last night
\r
You smashin out my headlights then {I could remember}
\r

\r
If it wasn't for parole
\r
Steady duckin' my P O girl you know {I could remember}
\r
But silly me, silly me, babe
\r
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover
\r

\r
Now I realize that you need love too
\r
Spend my life makin' love to you 
\r
Oh, girl
\r
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
\r

\r
When she starts bringin' up old dirt (Bringin' up old shhhh)
\r
And the fights keep getting worse
\r
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
\r
Findin' numbers in her purse (I'm tellin' you, brother)
\r
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman first)
\r

\r
And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, yeah)
\r
When she starts playin' little games (I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm tellin' you, brother)
\r
Comin' in late from work
\r
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first)
\r

\r
{So many times} Actin like it wasn't really nothin'
\r
{So many ways} Kept to myself, always runnin'
\r
{So many games} All that I sin
\r
{So many words} I need you to stay
\r
{Always came first} Even though sometimes fallin'
\r
second
\r
{Came down to love} You know I had to win the last race
\r
{Spend some time} Put in some work
\r
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first
\r

\r
When she starts bringin' up old dirt
\r
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin' worse)
\r
Findin' numbers in her purse (In her purse)
\r
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)
\r

\r
And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Ooh, yeah)
\r
When she starts playin' little games (Her little games)
\r
Comin' in late from work (I'mma say it again)
\r
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first)
\r

\r
When she starts bringin' up old dirt
\r
And the fights keep getting worse (She's gonna leave you)
\r
Findin' numbers in her purse
\r
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
\r

\r
And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
\r
When she starts playin' little games (Yeah, yeah)
\r
Comin' in late from work
\r
You better put that woman first
