You Never Knew

(album: While You Wait - 2020)

Sometimes you can go through life and never know
Never know

Told you everything I wanted in a lady
Hoping you would catch the vibes
Told you everything I do for my baby
All she'd have to do is ride
Told you everything your friendship means to me
And I'd love to have you here
Guess you only wanted to be a friend to me
Let me try and make this clear

You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, you never knew
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, you never knew

Told me 'bout the men that treated you unfairly
Gave the shoulder for the cry
Told me 'bout the one that you was supposed to marry
But he was living a lie, oh, oh-oh
Told me all you needed was something real
I was willing to provide
I was hoping we was gon' close the deal
Sent the text, you didn't reply

You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, You never knew
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
You could've just replied back, yeah
Swear you never knew, you never knew, yeah

How many times do I gotta explain? (Yeah, yeah)
I been on you since we got on the train (Yeah, yeah)
No NBA, girl this isn't a game (Yeah, yeah)
How could you never know? How could you never know?
Sounds like the things that we want are the same, yeah, yeah
Been through the worse and we both need a change, yeah, yeah
What we looking for is in front of our face, yeah, yeah
How could you never know?

You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, You never knew
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
Never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, you never knew
