Someone's been stepping in
While you've been stepping out
You thought you were slick, my friend
You thought you had it figured out
Honey

But she was tired of being used
Heard your last bad excuse
Never thought she'd cut you loose
Don't look so surprised, you know you had it coming

If you hadn't have stayed out all night long
(You wouldn't be sitting here wondering why, waiting by the phone with a tear in your eye)
Running all over town doing her wrong 
(Acting like you ain't got a thing to lose, thinking you're a player but you're playing a fool)
Maybe you could've held on to what you had 
(Should've treated her better when you had the chance)
Good thing's gone bad, yeah, it has

I know when you come and go
And I know how long you'll be
But don't look across the street
For sympathy
'Cause you're not gonna get it

Well, you're such a busy man
She don't seem to fit your plans
I'll take her off your hands
Don't worry 'bout it, brother, you know I got you covered

If you hadn't have stayed out all night long
(You wouldn't be sitting here wondering why, waiting by the phone with a tear in your eye)
Running all over town doing her wrong 
(Acting like you ain't got a thing to lose, thinking you're a player but you're playing a fool)
Maybe you could've held on to what you had 
(Should've treated her better when you had the chance)
Good thing's gone bad, yeah, it has

If you hadn't have stayed out all night long
(You wouldn't be sitting here wondering why)
Running all over town doing her wrong
(Waiting by your phone with a tear in your eye)
Maybe you could've held on to what you had

If you hadn't have stayed out all night long
(You wouldn't be sitting here wondering why)
Running all over town doing her wrong
(Waiting by your phone with a tear in your eye)
Maybe you could've held on to what you had
(Should've treated her better when you had the chance)

Good thing's gone bad
Good thing's gone bad
