Girl On the Side

you had a girl, but i was young and didn't care.
never knew the meaning of breaking up a happy home.
i thought one day ill have you on my own.
a fool in love.
driving around with another girl man thinking that was cool.
believing his lies, in his dark brown eyes .
visiting his job, with my head held high.
thinking our love was real, thinking our love was strong.
can't believe they let me get in too deep.
friends and family didn't tell me what i was doing was wrong, now my feelings i 
can't keep.
so young and naive.
thought he was a pimp because he had two girls in his world.
i let him get the best of me.
in my heart i knew it was meant to be.
listen to his every word
thought he was Mr. perfect, thought he really care.
he told me my feelings i should never hide.
reality hit i was the girl on the side.
