You Were There
You were there
I saw ya standing in a corner
You were there
I heard ya reading the brother
Why did you lie when you know that things could possibly mean goodbye
(Why did you go)
When you know that things could always spoil the show
And bring the curtain down
You were there I saw you
You were wearing that fancy red dress
You were there, I heard you
When you gave that man your red dress
When you did lie
And it does make sense to you at that time
(Don't even try)
Don't you know a soil in my heart tonight
Don't you leave me
(You did not see me but I was standing there)
I was standing back there
And I heard
I mean I heard every little thing you said
As a matter of fact you were saying
You can pick me up tomorrow after stan
And if he as me were I've been
I'd just say I visited a friend oooohhhh
You were there
I saw ya, you were standing in a corner
You were there
And I heard ya reading the brother
Now don't you think
It would have been better to admit and apologize
And even try
To confess, make us dance and you'll never do it again oohhhh
Don't you do it
Don't do it baby
You were there
I saw ya standing in a corner
(Saw you baby with my own two eyes) you were there I saw you
You were riding with a brother (remember baby remember your lies)
Your wearing that fancy red dress (you were there)
You were there I heard you, you gave that man your red dress
You were there
I saw ya standing in a corner
(Saw you baby with my own two eyes) you were there
I heard ya riding with a brother (remember baby remember your lies)
Your wearing that fancy red dress (don't you do it baby)
I saw you baby with my own two eyes
You were standing there
You were standing there
I saw ya standing in a corner
You were there
I heard ya reading the brother
Why did you lie when you know that things could possibly mean goodbye
(Why did you go)
When you know that things could always spoil the show
And bring the curtain down
You were there I saw you
You were wearing that fancy red dress
You were there, I heard you
When you gave that man your red dress
When you did lie
And it does make sense to you at that time
(Don't even try)
Don't you know a soil in my heart tonight
Don't you leave me
(You did not see me but I was standing there)
I was standing back there
And I heard
I mean I heard every little thing you said
As a matter of fact you were saying
You can pick me up tomorrow after stan
And if he as me were I've been
I'd just say I visited a friend oooohhhh
You were there
I saw ya, you were standing in a corner
You were there
And I heard ya reading the brother

Don't you do it
Don't do it baby
You were there

(Saw you baby with my own two eyes) you were there I saw you
You were riding with a brother (remember baby remember your lies)
Your wearing that fancy red dress (you were there)
You were there I heard you, you gave that man your red dress
You were there
I saw ya standing in a corner
(Saw you baby with my own two eyes) you were there
I heard ya riding with a brother (remember baby remember your lies)
Your wearing that fancy red dress (don't you do it baby)
I saw you baby with my own two eyes
You were standing there
You were standing there
