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 Tenisha, 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
I'm not to blame for the pain that was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me

Now
I don't know 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 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 crime
Girl

I'm not to blame for the pain that was caused by previous cats, previous cats yeah
Who had your heart before me
I'm not to blame for the pain that was caused by previous cats
People in, people in, people in your life

I'm not to blame for the pain that was caused by previous cats
Previous
I'm not to blame for the pain that was caused by previous cats
You gotta see me for me
