I wasn't trying to steal your man

I wasn't trying to steal your man

the day you saw me with him.

He was so in love, if one could miss it

His eyes were just so mad;

From a distance you could feel

he had butterflies and a dizzy cloud of stars on his beautiful head.

I wasn't trying to steal your man.

He was so in love with you.

Even if I wanted to,

There was just no way, anyway.

And every time he smiled

You just knew it was because he was with you.

I wasn't trying to steal your man.

I could tell you wore your favorite perfume today,

I could smell it off his jacket.

The scent was strong,

But not as strong as I am.

I miss you.

I wasn't trying to steal your man.

I was trying to tell him to stay in love with you,

because I made the mistake of letting go.
