From the moment that I met her  I knew that she'd be mine
We were twins  best friends  perfectly aligned
I loved Carrie Bradshaw  she loved Hennessy
We were two halves of the same energy
She was from NY  I was from LA
She said that she liked me  just not in that way
And that was okay  I win her heart through friendship
But once I had that  there was the distance
I dated 'round the way  she dated local dudes
We had something but neither of us wanted to move
We knew we'd be together  we didn't know when
But long distance love  never thought it would end
The feelings never changed  until the call came
You were engaged  I was in pain
It was such a shame  the timing it just wasn't right
So I say good luck  and then I say goodnight

We back and forth  we in and out
Is this love  What's this about
We forth and back  we out and in
Is this love  Or we just friends
(Back and back and forth and forth
Back and back and forth and forth
We move back  we move  forth  we move out  we move in
Now they're playing our song and we dancing again

Then there she was  and I forgot
We were in love  she took your spot
Shot through the heart  I never thought I'd feel so good
I was appreciated  I was understood
She was from my hood  we hella hit it off
I had to lose your number  she said we couldn't talk
But I keep tabs on you through mutual friends
Kinda hoping that your engagement would come to an end
And then it did  but I didn't care
You were into me  I just wasn't there
I had a girl  and I couldn't leave her
But she could tell I loved you  so I had to leave her
You and I talked  we made a deal
If this shit ever end  we would be friends still
Deep down  I always knew I'd never be complete until
I knew this thing between you and I was really real
We back and forth  we in and out
Is this love  What's this about
We forth and back  we out and in
Is this love  Or we just friends
(Back and back and forth and forth
Back and back and forth and forth
We move back  we move  forth  we move out  we move in
Now they're playing our song and we dancing again

The first time we made love it was unreal
Let's go get them rings  it was a done deal
Wonder why we wasn't doing this the whole time
We named kids  looked at cribs  the whole nine
We planned the wedding  we told our friends
They said that we were happier than we had ever been
It was exactly like I thought it'd always turn out
A future so bright eventually it burned out
And there it went  down in flames
Too many differences  too much the same
We yell and scream  we cuss and fight
Relationships need balance and we were just too much alike
Now we only talk on funerals and birthdays
Probably should've never got together in the first place
But all the dancing and messing around
Helped me finally realize when it was time to settle down
