[Intro]
Why
Oooh
All right

[Verse 1]
I met her on my way to Chicago, where she was all alone
And so was I, so I asked her for her name
She smiled and looked at me, I was surprised to see
That a woman like that was really into me

[Chorus 1]
She said she didn’t have no man, raised the kids the very best she can (She was lovin' me)
She told me she was all alone, said at home, she didn’t have no phone (She was wantin' me)
She said just to give her a page, fifty nine was the code she gave (She was lovin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me, 'cause she was lovin' me, lovin' me, yeah

[Verse 2]
I never would have thought she was livin' like that
Her words seemed so sincere
And when I held her near, she would tell me how she feels
It felt so real to me, this girl, she had to be
An angel sent from heaven just for me

[Chorus 2]
She said she didn’t have no man, raised the kids the very best she can (She's lovin' me)
She told me she was all alone, said at home she didn’t have no phone (Look who's lovin' me)
She said just to give her a page, fifty nine was the code she gave (She's lovin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me, 'cause she was lovin' me, lovin' me yeah (Look who's lovin' me)
She tried to live a double life, lovin' me while she was still your wife (She's wantin' me)
She thought that lovin' me was cool, with you at work and the kids at school (She was lovin' me)
She said that it would never end, tried to keep me any way she can (She was wantin' me)
She'd lie to you, lie to me, 'cause she had a family, family, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Why — oooh ooooh
All right
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m in, da da
Da-da, da-da, ah (All right)

[Verse 3]
I didn’t know she was already spoken for
‘Cause I’m not that kind of man
I swear that I would've never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame, and all things have to change
You should know that I’m holdin' her to blame

[Chorus 3]
She said she didn’t have no man, raised the kids the very best she can (Holdin' her to blame)
She told me she was all alone, said at home she didn’t have no phone (Holdin' her to blame)
She said just to give her a page, fifty nine was the code she gave (Holding her to blame)
She'd lie to you, lie to me, 'cause she was lovin' me, lovin' me, yeah (Holdin' her to blame)
She tried to live a double life, lovin' me while she was still your wife
She thought that lovin' me was cool, with you at work and the kids at school
She said that it would never end, tried to keep me any way she can
She'd lie to you, lie to me, 'cause she had a family, family, yeah

[Guitar Solo]
Family, family, yeah
