Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me am I wrong, well, fallin' in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you
Look at you
Tell me am I wrong, holdin' on to you so tight
Tell me am I wrong, (get your groove on brother)holdin' on to you so tight
He'd better be ready, ready for a long long fight
I gotta be strong, well I know you're dependin' on me
Yeah, yeah I gotta be strong, 'cause I know you're dependin' on me
To give you all of my attention
All of my time, and all of the love you need
What next?
Am I wrong, yeah yeah, tryin' to hold on to you (tryin' to hold on to you)
Tell me if I am wrong, yeah, tryin' to hold on to you
I just wanna make a home for you baby
And all of your children too
All of your children too
Tell me, tell me, tell me, am I fallin' in love with you
While your other man cheatin' and steppin' all over
Am I wrong, fallin' in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you
