I Shouldn't Have Done It Lyrics - Slick Rick

Warm it up V. 

Well I'ma tell you a story and I come out bluntly 

Want a ugly child? Hey nobody would want me 

I used to walk around and get upset and upsetter 

'Til I figured out ways to make myself look better 

As I got older, my awareness expanded 

I met this beautiful girl and my wish was commanded 

Didn't hang with fellas, 'cause they started gettin' shady 

I'd always be with my girl and ya'll could call her my lady 

I loved her a lot, word up, not going to front see 

The problem did arise is why on earth did she want me? 

Couldn't figure it out and to make things worse 

I was cursed, with the torment of not being the first 

And the first was this fly guy, made me very jealous 

Always think she'd cheat on me and talk to other fellas 

Two wrongs don't make a right, but any we would fight 

I would kindly pick up the phone and call a girl out of spite 

I shouldn't have done it, man

[Chorus 2X] 

I'm feelin sad and blue 

I wanted to make this right, so direct I was admirin' 

I tried to stop my love, but no love was not retirin' 

To catch her in a lie was near impossible and tricky 

Didn't want her in certain clothes, gettin' really picky 

We got into it again, this time she got too bright 

So me preventin' a fight, I just stayed out for the night 

I had to ease up off the pressure, all this heartache pain so 

I went up to the Parrot, with Omega, Vance, and Dane 

This girl came over, she was trucked down excessive 

Started talkin' to me (hi), and she was poppin' quite aggressive 

A pretty young thing, she didn't strike me as no ho 

So weak minded Rick the Ruler went on with the flow 

My joint was gettin' hard, word, without me even knowin' 

We stepped back to my van and I could feel it's for her growin' 

The girl took off her coat her body was no joke 

Well, a rub or two, unzip it, and I went for broke 

I shouldn't have done it

[Chorus 4X] 

Now I've sinned and there's no one to blame 

That night when I went home, I felt real guilty and ashamed 

Snuck right into bed, I felt just like a shady fella 

What made me so self-centered, how am I ever gonna tell her? 

I shouldn't have cheated, just because we'd always doubt 

Endurance, be a man, that's what I had to learn about 

Now me, I guess I'm like there's one [or] two secrets that I hid 

I figure, I'd patch things up and then I'll tell her what I did 

Then after that, she started actin' heaven sent 

I found the house spotless and said she help out with the rent 

So, I bought the ring, it was a good 20 Karat 

Then word got back about me chillin' at the Parrot 

So when I got home, I thought she'd just be out to roast 

Instead I found this letter, and I found her overdosed 

It said "I do for you but I guess you didn't care" 

All this went and happened 'cause of me and my affair 

I shouldn't have done it man
