Crying in the inside, so many men but so unhappy I gave my love to any man who smiled at me I played the game of love with no rules And when it was all over, I was the fool Some how I had to get it right just on time For once in my life, I was careful For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I'm so grateful For once in my life, I'm so glad I was careful For once in my life, now I have a love a so sweet and I'm so thankful With a closed heart, never let emotions tear me apart I had to have the upper hand to be cruel, to be hard I didn't care to man, oh, oh I was still hurting inside hanging on to pride I just about died when you found me and gave me good love And now I know I did the right thing For once in my life, I was careful For once in my life, showed me how much you care and I'm so grateful For once in my life, I'm so glad I was careful For once in my life, now I have a love a so sweet and I'm so thankful
