Lyrics
There's a first time for everything It's definitely one of them nights I knew when I looked in his eyes That he was gonna be trouble for me I never wanted to lie I knew that my baby would cry If he knew what we were doing But if his love don't pass the test I gotta get it from somewhere else When I'm gone and I need a man Hope he understands Forgive me baby

I gotta take a chance tonight So I'm doing me, myself and I Can wait no more Sitting all alone Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh I can wait no more Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me

Been a long time since I Did something good for myself But why should I be put through hell? He's doing what he wanna do I finally found somebody else Who really wants to make me feel Things that I've been missing so long And his love always passed the test It's a shame I had to look somewhere else When I'm gone and I need a man I just hope that he understands Forgive me baby

I gotta take a chance tonight So I'm doing me, myself and I Can wait no more Sitting all alone Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh I can wait no more Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me

Forgive me but I need to be loved too Forgive me but I can't wait around for you Forgive me if I found a man Who understands just what I need Forgive me but I need to be loved too Forgive me if I can't wait around for you Forgive me if I found a man who understands Forgive me baby

I gotta take a chance tonight So I'm doing me, myself and I Can wait no more Sitting all alone Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh Hope you forgive me Oh oh I can wait no more Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me

I gotta take a chance tonight So I'm doing me, myself and I Can wait no more Sitting all alone Man, I really hope Hope you forgive me
