Wyclef Jean - To All The Girls lyrics

Your rating:
Yo, Wyclef, It's time that I confess (Refugee Camp) to all the girls
 (Don't do it, don't do it)
 *singing* To all the girls I loved before
 *rapping* To all the girls I cheated on before
 *singing* To all the girls I loved before

 * Verse 1

 To all the girls I cheated on before, I tip my hat like Willie Nelson
 You got pressure, take a sip of this Molson
 Here's what happened, it wasn't my intentions
 To fall into seduction while playing a temptation
 I thought I had it figured out, but games don't last
 The hourglass ran out, I got sprayed with the tear gas
 Big men don't cry, hold my feelings inside
 Stress brings me ?, I gotta hold my pride
 When I see you with another guy, jealous thoughts of homicide
 Call me selfish when I say Abraham has many wives
 You say this is the 90's, either it's gonna be me or her
 I found myself in a blur
 Lookin' into the clouds thinkin' out loud
 "I'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"

 Chorus:

 To all the girls I cheated on before, it's a new year
 I got a new change of gear, I swear
 I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
 You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
 To all the girls I cheated on before, it's a new year
 I got a new change of gear, I swear
 I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
 You forgive, but you still think that I'm a ho

 Verse 2:

 Second verse is gonna hurt, based on a true life story
 I got married at 24 in New Jersey
 You know the feelings start nature take it's course
 Two years later 'Clef gets a divorce
 When I had the cold feet, I shouldn't've walked the altar
 With Dionne Warwick, she could predict my future
 Went with my feelings even though it wasn't right
 Creepin' with my secret lover in the middle of the night
 Back home, break of dawn, dinner's at the table
 Thin Line Between Love And Hate is on cable
 I'm lookin' at myself thinkin' out loud
 "I'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"

 Repeat chorus

 Break: (includes elements from Rapper's Delight)

 Hotel, (I'm not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don't believe me though)
 And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you take her friend
 Hotel, (I'm not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don't believe me though)
 And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you snatch her friend

 Break it down right here

 Verse 3:

 One love, you're lucky to have one love
 It sounds bugged, drinking wine from the same jug
 One heart, one mind, one soul
 She ain't a gold digger, she don't care about your bank-roll
 Keep your money, she make her own cheddar
 All she want from me is respect like Aretha
 Cooked me lasagne, stayed in for the winter
 Chilled to the summer, now I'm gone 'til November
 Have you seen her?
 I think I did
 But what I did wrong was take a love for granted
 Cause first comes trust, don't rush into lust
 Easier said than done, I lust and I must
 Passion is a must, but then we start to cuss
 We was just makin' love, now we tearing up each other's guts
 Like species, she called me an animal
 So feel the tongue of the warm-blooded mammal

 Repeat chorus

 Outro:

 I'm not a ho (repeat and dimminuendo at the same time)
 (You don't believe me though)
 I know you're diggin' this
 Is it OK if I play my guitar right about now, is it alright?
 (You don't believe me though)
 Alright (you don't believe me though), alright
 People in the back, is it OK if I play my guitar right about now?
 Alright, alright, alright, alright
 People on the side, is it OK if I play my guitar right about now
