I SHOULD'VE BEEN AFTER YOU


You're out with your friends
And it's feelin' like old times
Standing in line in the front of the club
You're drivin' around town, blastin' your mixes
Singin' along to the words you don't know

But it makes no difference
What I do, think, or say
There's no way to convince you girls
That just ain't how you play

You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
I should've been after you

I can tell by your shakin' hands that you want me
So baby, don't hold back
Go with the flow
I know it looks bad 'cause I kissed all your girlfriends
But that's what you get when you live in a small world
It's hard to look at me when you know where my lips have been
Forget, it makes things easier
Forgive me and let me in

You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
I should've been after you

You're gonna have to choose
Is it me or them
That's the way it goes
Leave it all behind
All the baggage and dreams
I've liked you from the start
I'll admit it now
Girl, I gotta have you
We don't have to tell anyone about our little secret

I know you feel it too
'Cause you're the only one who understands
You're wastin' all your time with someone else
You need another man

I could've been after you

But it makes no difference
What I do or think or say
There's no way to convince you girls
That just ain't how you play
No

You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
But after last night we're through

Run along with your new boy
Hope he's a sex toy
I could've been after you
