Like I Do
Unrequited Love Unveiled
Lyrics
On a rainy afternoon, I pulled up on the other side of town
Arrived on the other side of town during a rainy afternoon.
And I saw your girl with another man who wasn't you
Witnessed your girl with another man who isn't you.
And I hate to be the one to start rumors
Reluctantly starting rumors but compelled to speak out as the one who desires you.
But I just have to say it, cause I'm the one who wants you
Expressing the need to reveal the truth about the situation.
She can't love you like I do, she can't care like I do
Asserting that the other woman can't love and care for you like the speaker can.
She don't deserve you like I do, like I do
Repeating the claim that the other woman doesn't deserve you.
Cause I'm the one who loves you
Declaring oneself as the one who truly loves you.
Glad I'm the one who saw it, don't let her lie to you
Expressing relief at being the one who witnessed the situation; warning not to be deceived.
Pack your bags, get your stuff, my door's wide open for you
Encouraging you to leave, indicating an open door for your return.
And I'm sure it ain't the first time and it won't be her last
Suggesting that the observed situation is not the first time and won't be the last.
So do yourself a favor and start running fast
Advising you to run away from the relationship quickly.
She can't love you like I do, she can't care like I do
Reiterating that the other woman can't love and care for you like the speaker can.
She don't deserve you like I do, like I do
Repeating the assertion that the other woman doesn't deserve you.
Cause I'm the one who loves you
Reaffirming oneself as the one who truly loves you.
And I've been waiting forever for this moment to arise
Expressing a long-awaited desire for this moment to unfold.
And I know that you loved her so I can give you time
Acknowledging your past love, offering to give you time to heal.
But she can't love you like I do, she can't care like I do
Insisting that the other woman can't love and care for you like the speaker can.
She don't deserve you like I do, no
Emphasizing that the other woman doesn't deserve you.
She can't love you like I do, she can't care like I do
Reiterating that the other woman can't love and care for you like the speaker can.
She don't deserve you like I do, like I do
Repeating the assertion that the other woman doesn't deserve you.
Cause I'm the one who loves you
Declaring oneself as the true lover.
Can't love like I do
Stating that the other woman can't love in the same way as the speaker.
