[Hook]
Somebody's✦ been sleeping✦ in my bed
Somebody's✦ been sleeping✦ in my bed
[Interlude]
You done hurt me, broke my heart
And played me for your fool
Now here's my chance to get back at you
And I'm gonna blow my cool
[Verse 3]
All day long
I'm just singin'✦ a somebody-done-somebody-wrong song
I'm tryin' to see how far can this kid go
Before✦ our relationship ends up on skid row
Why should I try to stay attached to her
When I'm probably better✦ anywhere as a bachelor
So go 'head, girl, with that game you're talkin'✦
And since you look like CeCe Peniston, keep on walkin'✦
Your-your-your cheatin' heart, you're tryin' to rip mine apart✦
Ugh, I wish I'd seen it from the start
'Cause now you're caught in what you thought was a fort
Took a short, so I'll see you in court
[Hook]
Somebody's✦ been sleeping✦ in my bed
Somebody's✦ been sleeping✦ in my bed
[Robin Harris]
I hate my wife
I wear my wedding ring on the finger✦
Cause I married the WRONG GOD DAMN woman✦
[Richard Pryor]
I leave homegirl ?
And come back home, college feet be on
