Story Behind the Song
I was meeting different woman, and all of them had a boyfriend. At the same time, they all wanted one-night stands. No way in heck I was going to do that.
Lyrics
It's a question I seem to ask myself,
Why I'm in this situation when my life's going to hell?
I sit back and I push people away,
'Cause I know it's the same s--- and' it's a different day,
I've already paid my dues, and now I feel used,
'Cause girls come to me giving me clues,
Tryin' to get with me, tryin' to be up on me,
You got to leave me alone, you see,
'Cause I know you got another man, understand,
You been with him for two long years, and,
You're sick of his s---, find another brotha to get with,
To see if he's got a better stick, and that's it,
Hey, you better back the f--- up,
'Cause I almost messed up another relationship, and it was tough,
Just to make ends meet, and I came very close to losing my sweet, when I was weak,
You best quit thinkin' of all these bulls--- lines,
And step up to your man, fess up your alibis,
That's some stupid s---, I have my own relationship,
But, you're willing to cash in your chips,
You're cool and all, just please understand,
That I'm sick and tired of being the middle man.
(Chorus)
Why am I in this situation?
Who's granted life have I taken?
I can't be the best man for you,
Stay with the same things you've gone through,
Let me get on with my life,
'Cause you know that it isn't right,
It's only this that I agree,
I don't want to be the middle man in everything.
These couples yeah, I'm feelin' them,
But, I'm not John Edward, and I'm not your psychic medium,
'Cause you're tryin' to bring up the dead,
They call you Milton Bradley with all the games that you play in my head,
You make me seasick, when you're on the Love Boat,
Your bag of tricks you have, you always tote,
When I see people like you, I anticipate,
That they'll do the same thing, just f---in' irritate,
You hate the fact that you're living like a vegetable,
'Cause you're man doesn't care for you, he's even bi-sexual,
It's not my fault that you're with him,
You want to be with me, 'cause you're cup's to the brim,
Just find someone new to the best you can,
'Cause I don't want to be in between, the middle man.
(Chorus)
I have to tell you what's on my chest,
I don't want to be on your crusade, to end your quest,
'Cause I've already got my mind straight,
Who I want, what I want, I don't have to contemplate,
I know you don't understand yet,
But I hate being single, 'cause I always get in this s---,
And, now I back out of the problem,
You should do the same, so quit all your talkin',
'Cause I'm not bitin' your style, you're petiphile,
I never liked you, you should have known for a while,
'Cause what you're hopin', and gonna happen,
Just keep your issue, you better stop laughin',
I've never said this, but I will before I go,
"B----, just leave me the f--- alone!",
'Cause your ray of hope is a flash in the pan,
And I will never again be the middle man.
(Chorus)
