Cherish - Before You Were My Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Baby, take a seat
Got something I wanna say to you
Before things get crazy
I'm a need to let out the truth

I wanna tell you
No, I have to tell you
I gotta let this out before he do
And before you say a word

I'm a need your undivided, please
Until I'm finish
Just try not to say a thing

Ooh, in a way
It's just so complicated
To fix my mouth
And say these words to you

[Pre-Chorus:]
See
It's not what you thinking
So don't jump to conclusions
And it's really not that bad

Don't wanna cause confusion
Put yourself in my position
Just hear me out and listen

Understand my condition
Got to let you know
So here I go

[Chorus:]
Before you were my man
I was chilling with this guy I knew
Before you were my man
Didn't know that he know you

You should understand (yeah)
No more circumstance (oh, whoa)
Didn't know he was your friend
Before you were my man

I met him at this party
Sitting at the bar
He walked right up to me (yeah)
Bought me some Bacardi

Caught up in the moment
I was feeling lonely (lonely)
Don't know how it happened
But this was all before
You were my man

[Verse 2:]
Now that I confessed
I think that I should
Explain myself

It lasted for so long
Swear that it was nothing else
Just take a minute
To take it all in

Even though it's hard for you to do
I can tell that your upset
By the look you have upon your face

Let me apologize
For taking so long to say
That your best friend (huh)
He was my man
I know it's hard for you to understand

[Repeat Pre-Chorus:]

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Yeah
I know
It's crazy (baby)
Now when we come around
You think about what went down

You should have known
Cause when we would come through
I would up and leave the room
Avoiding the truth
Before

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Talking:]
You
It's crazy
I had to tell you this way
But it started to get obvious

When he came around
I'm glad I got this off my chest
And I hope it doesn't change anything between us
