from the top She's got a body like an hourglass That's tickin' like a clock It's a matter of time before we all run out When I thought he was mine She caught him by the mouth I waited eight long months She finally set him free I told him I couldn't lie He was the only one for me Two weeks and we had caught on fire She's got it out for me But I wear the biggest smile CHORUS Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could then you know you would Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good VERSE 2 Second chances, they don't ever matter People never change Once a whore, you're nothing more I'm sorry, that'll never change And about forgiveness We're both supposed to have exchanged I'm sorry, honey, but I passed that up Now look this way Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like you Looking as innocent as possible To get to who they want and what they like It's easy if you do it right Well, I refuse, I refuse, I refuse CHORUS Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good Cause I got him where I want him right now And if you could then you know you would Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good BRIDGE I watched his wildest dreams come true And not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving... CHORUS Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, I never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now But God, does it feel so good Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could then you know you would Cause God, it just feels so It just feels so good
