I'm the best friend he's got I'd give him the shirt off my back He knows he can trust me with his life But he's tryin' to leave me alone Leaves me alone with his wife I wish he didn't trust me so much I think he really trusts me too much How can he be so blind? We've both got the same good taste He should know when he's gone on his business trips I can't help watchin' his woman 'Cause I'm losin' my grip I wish he didn't trust me so much I think he really trusts me too much Though I swear, all is not my will But there's a way There's a way she make me feel Lord, I'm scared, so scared of what I do If she starts feelin' same way too You shouldn't trust me so much (We got a problem) I think you really trust me too much It's not that she leads me on I'm gettin' there all by myself But just being with her all, all alone I can't help but hopin' That he never comes home I wish he didn't trust me so much I think you really trust me too much I wish he didn't trust me so much (We got a problem) I think you really trust me too much Though I swear, all is not my will (Is not my will) But it's somethin' about the way The way she makes me feel Lord, I'm so scared, scared of what I do If she starts feelin' the same way too I wish he didn't trust me so much (Ooh) I think he really trusts me too much (I got a problem) You can see, I'm caught up (I wish he didn't trust me so much) Caught up in the middle (I think he really trusts me too much) And I'm down, tired of playing [Incomprehensible]
