It's taken me some time to read the writing on the wall

But i have finaly figured out just what's been going on

And i need to tell you what i've learned before you turn to go

There's things about that other man i think you should know

The man that came between us was looking out for number one

He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done

But looking in the mirror, today, i finally came to see

That man that came between us was me



I know i'm sorry don't make up for half the tears you've cried

And i can't promise miracles but i swear to god i'll try

'cause if you'll give me half a chance i'll love you like i should

Honey, your lovin' man's come home again

And that stranger's gone for good



The man that came between us was looking out for number one

He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done

But looking in the mirror, today, i finally came to seed

That man that came between us was me



Oh honey, the man that came between us was me
