Undercover Lover
I didn't even see you coming but yet u want me to watch you leave
A room filled with silence, and the sound of broken dreams
I try to hide that my voice is shaking
My legs are weak and my heart is breaking
All this is is just a casual fling
2 years later look what's happening
Took me by surprise U came out of nowhere
Now U walk away and expect me not to care
Kept my walls up, Like a gated community
Never really knowing if u could be true to me
Never really trusting or fully letting u in
Kept it cool kept it fun never making a scene
But now the only way to keep me is if we do it discreetly
Cos u think u moved on just abit too swiftly
And now u start to realise how much u miss me
So u start coming over and trying to kiss me
But I ain't no garlic bread, no side order
I ain't some stolen moments lover
I'm the real deal I deserve full time
So of these sneaky plans of urs u better call time
Go back to ur wife, does she know ur single?
Ring in ur pocket and ur ready to mingle
U think ur so clever think ur so low key
But look in her eyes, does she look happy?!
Turning a blind eye to the mistakes ur making
Trying to stop her own heart from breaking
Doesn't want to expose that her legs are shaking
Carrying the weight of a soul that's aching
But with a baby on her hip that won't stop crying
She finds that womanly strength and just keeps on trying
Draws on a smile as she makes the breakfast
But Uve no time to talk, just off to work first
A faint peck on the cheek is all that u offer
Distracted by the thoughts of a secret lover
But let me tell u something about that womanly strength
It soon wakes up to not needing men
To not needing the bullshit the lies and the tears
To not pushing through for just a few more years
To not wearing that same smile when u come home late
Blocking her mind, she wont even speculate
And the parts of her life that u neglected
She's found the strength to get it corrected
So that bed u always relied u could lie in
Soon comes a day u won't dare to climb in
Won't try to squeeze in along side her confidence
Her power her strength her independence
If u pull back the cover there's nowhere for you
She refills the parts drained empty by u
So ur fired, redundant ur just not needed
And when that day comes u just won't believe it
But the Queen u thought would forever be true
Needs a king by her side not a joker like u
So no I won't meet u round the back of the pub
Neck ur pint and go home to the woman u love
Put ur time and effort into what's already urs
Instead of chasing around wanting more
And girls have respect for urselves and others
Don't sneak around like some undercover lovers
Don't do the dirty on the queens at home
One day it will be ur turn to be home alone
Say no to the sneaking the liars and the cheats
Say no to the back street one night beats
Say yes to the men who know how to keep their women
All day respect and all night loving
Who dedicate their lives to being true to u
Giving one 100 not 20% to 2
They know their women got a sparkle to their smile
And a bounce in their step which could last for miles
