In 1997, Beauty changed my life   Who would've known that she would be my future wife   Or the mother of a child so beautiful   What I had in love I lacked in self-control   See, I had to have them all to be satisfied   And on an average night, I'd take four or five   But the measure of a man ain't how many you can fuck   It's how you live your life so you can keep her trust      [CHORUS]   Men always regret getting over 'Cause you don't know what you do   So, you're better off loving her from the start   Even if your're not sure if she's loving you   Men always regret getting over She'll hide her pain in her smile   And be in your bed sleeping with another man   While you're on the phone askin' 'bout your child      Remarkable, incredible, confrontational, yet irreplaceable   She wouldn't cook or clean, so I let her go (Oh no no)   But she's got the kind of love that you can't let go   But still I loved her unconditionally   I wish she had've told me that she didn't love me   Could have been better off on my own (yes, I would)   But then I never would have wrote this song      See, my girl is the kind that walks around with a smile   Kissin' and huggin' me like she don't even care, Oh yeah   So one day, I come home   Smilin', ready to say I love you   But then I walked upstairs   And all your things were gone like you were never there      Men always regret getting over 'Cause you don't know what you do   So you're better off loving her from the start   Even if you think she ain't loving you   Men always regret getting over She'll hide her pain in her smile   So, while you're in the bed with another man   I just wanna talk to my child      [Nokio]   Still can't understand   Why you let me get away with what I did   I don't wanna hurt another girl   Knowin' I was sleepin' with another girl   While you were home sleepin' in my bed   I really can't be mad if you turn around and do the same to me   Please, God, give me the strength   Men always regret getting over   'Cause one day she'll leave      [CHORUS]   Men always regret getting over 'Cause you don't know what you do   So, you're better off loving her from the start   Even if your're not sure if she's loving you   Men always regret getting over She'll hide her pain in her smile   And be in your bed sleeping with another man   While you're on the phone askin' 'bout your child
