"Knew It All Along" by Keith Sweat featuring Johnny Gill and Gerald Levert
I've always wanted to say
Because I've always felt it in my heart
I just didn't want to mess up our friendship
Listen
We've known each other since we were young, so young
That's why you feel you can talk to me
You and me you know we are just like family, girl
And you've been telling me for so long
About what's been going on with your man
How he talks to you, how he treats you, raises his hands
See, I knew right there that man of yours
He were no damn good
But I left it there
I didn't wanna get in between
Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
You wake up and he still ain't made it home
Just remember every words I told you
When I said I knew this all along
I'm not trying to be nobody
I'm just trying to tell you as a friend
So what you really don't know yet, you bet
"I love you"
And I hope this doesn't change our relationship, baby
Baby hold on
Because it ain't worth losing a life-long friend
I thought about it and I just couldn't hold it
And I know it's a lot to take in right now
It's just the way that he's been treating you
I can't take it no more
I knew back then that man of yours
He was no damn good
But I left it there
I didn't wanna get in between
Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
You wake up and he still ain't made it home
Just remember every words I told you
When I said I knew this all along
I'm not trying to be nobody
I'm just trying to tell you as a friend
So what you really don't know yet, you bet
"I love you"
Baby open your eyes and see
See, I'm here for you, baby
And I'll never let him hurt you again
You've got to end it baby
