Musiq Soulchild - Previouscats lyrics

First things first, girl, recognize
Who is with you now
Second thing, can't blame me for how
You were treated before I came
See, I'm not Steven, Anthony even
Leroy or Ivan damn girl, I've been
Right there for you since day one
So where is all this coming from?

See, now, I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
Who had your heart before me
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me

Now, what is with all the questioning
About where I've been?
And why must you roll your eyes
When I say she's just a friend?
I knew before
Not like I called you Sabrina, Pam or Tanisha
Andrea either, girl, we go deeper
Than any other I had before
So tell me why you ignore?

See, now, I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
Who had your heart before me, baby
I'm not to blame for the pain
That was caused by previous cats
Ah, you gotta see me for me

Now, I don't know (I don't know)
What those young boys did
(What those young boys did)
To make you insecure
But I think you need to let it go
(Let it go)
Don't let your past (Don't let your past)
Get all in the way (Get all in the way)
'Cause what is here today may
Not be guaranteed tomorrow
I'm not out of line, just speaking my mind
When I say that I put in too much time
For another brother's crimes, girl

I'm not to blame for the pain (yeah)
That was caused by previous cats
Who had your heart before me
I'm not to blame for the pain (Not to blame)
That was caused by previous cats
(People live, people live
People live your life)
I'm not to blame for the pain (yeah, not me)
That was caused by previous cats
(Oh yeah, previous, yeah)
I'm not to blame for the pain (Oh-ho, oh-ho)
That was caused by previous cats
(Previous, gotta see me for me)
