If I didn't have a wife If I lived in another life Lived in another life If I'm wrong, would you make it right?

Ooh, ooh He was an eight Feel his beach, walking in the sand when I peeped you Looking sweet, balling with your mans, had to pause on it Stop, take another glance at you I got closer Looking as good as I want to Put your hands up while he post up Seeing something I wasn't supposed to But still you smiled at me I waved goodbye and winked I turned around to leave And heard your words to me And I smiled (Smiled, smiled, smiled) If I didn't have a wife If I lived in another life Lived in another life If I'm wrong, would you make it right?

Is not what I'm tryna do (You already knew) 'Cause if you didn't have a wife (But baby I do) And if I had another life (Maybe someday) Oh yeah, I'd make it right (Girl, what did you say?) Said I could make it right If I didn't have a wife If I lived in another life Lived in another life If I'm wrong, would you make it right?
