Just Being Honest
Brutha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, no, oh
I fell in lust with her far before the second dance
She had my head spun round
Before I even got the chance to realize how wrong I was

I'm not asking if you would forgive this man, oh no
For being a man, girl, that's all I can be
But I'm trying to just make you understand, oh
Please understand, please understand

I love you, I love you
But I want her, girl, I'm just being honest
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, said, I'm just being honest, yeah

I took her information she took mine
Told you I was working all night
When really I left the studio around 9
I was in the club with her till closing time

I'm not asking if you would forgive this man
For being a man, girl, that's all I can be
But I'm trying to just make you understand
Please understand, please understand

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, girl, I'm just being honest, hey
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, said, I'm just being honest, yeah

Really wish there was a way
Oh, I could have my cake and eat it too
Be with her and be with you
Honest

Since we're speaking honestly
I think her, you and me
Would be something sexy
Sorry if that's rude

I just really don't wanna choose
I just really don't wanna choose
I love you but I want you, you, you, you

I love you, love you, I love you
But I want her, I want her, girl, I'm just being honest
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, girl, I'm just being honest

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, girl, I'm just being honest
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
But I want her, girl, I'm just being honest

Said I love you, said, said I love you




But I want her but but I want her
I'm just being honest
