Side Chic
When I told him I loved him
he stopped callin me
Cause what I wanted from him
he didn’t want that from me
He wasn’t lookin for no relationship
he wanted a side fling
But I made it way to easy so
he didn’t have to buy a ring
And the more emotionally attached I became
The more distant his feelings for me were explained
We went from a phone call every day and
baby can I see your face?
To barely seeing his number pop up on my caller ID
See I never knew how to play these games…
you see
Nobody ever explained to me
what a side chic’s roll supposed to be
I mean I knew he had a girl
and he knew I had my boo
But we shared a bond that neither of us
shared with them two
I got caught up in the excitement of meeting him in between lunches
caught up in the adrenaline rushes
and his physical touches
He told me that he loved me and
Wanted to start ova with me
He told me I was his dream girl and
everything his girl neva could be
I was blinded by the jewelry and the
expensive trips to Italy
All that pampering and QT he had me
twisted up like Hennessey
Now I’m sittin ova here writing bitter sweet poetry
All those nights I stayed up yearning to be
his #1 chic
Sittin up by the phone checkin for text messages every 3 minutes
Calling his phone leaving voicemails every chance I get
But he couldn’t call me back
cuz he was with his main chic
I spent my days frustrated
just taking what I could get
Eatin the crumbs he tossed in my direction
I ate her sloppy seconds
And like a dog goin back to his vomit
I gave that man whatever he wanted
I was his late night fantasy
and his call girl in the morning
I was his stripper in 4inch heals
A nurse on call.. like a meal on wheels
Neglecting my morals tryin to please him
Shoulda known this thing wouldn’t last
between him and me
Cause our whole relationship was built off deceit
Now I’m lonely
and he done moved on to the next one
I guess that’s what I get for giving my heart
to another woman’s
We probably would still been together had I not told him I loved him
But like I said before
I didn’t know the rules to this game
And even though I tried to keep it physical
my heart still got played
I should have thrown my hand in the beginning cause I didn’t have no spades
A catch 22 situation…
I woulda lost anyway
So ladies guard your heart with diligence
cuz out of it flows the issues of life
You never know next time you might end up
being his wife
