Damn I Said It First

Nikka Costa

Why is it when I get with you I lose my cool
And end up playin' myself this way?
I can raise a baby, get paid and captivate
So why I let you make me crazy

When we're lyin' here I'm in deep, I disappear
You got me feelin' oh, oh, oh
But nothing rips out of bliss like an accidental slip
Now he knows I'm whipped

What'd I say that for?
Damn I said it first
Why'd I say it first?
Damn I said it first

I know better than to show my hand
I understand don't jump the gun just play the game
I spoke too soon and now I'm wonderin'
Does he or doesn't he feel the same

I could kick myself for all that comin' out my mouth
I'd take it back if I could
I couldn't hold it in, hold my breath
Just pretend he just makes me feel too good

What'd I say that for?
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first

Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first

Now my head's in my hands, ladies you understand
You profess to your man, he'll run for cover
The air's getting thicker, he's getting dressed quicker
Start to feel sick 'cause you said I love you

Now it's too late, you'll just have to wait
Nothin' you can say gon' make it better
Three little words come out and shake up your world
And now you're freaky and needy 'cause you said I love you

Damn I said it first
Why'd I say it first?
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first

Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first
Damn I said it first

'Cause you got a big mouth baby
'Cause you got a big mouth baby
Opened your big mouth didn't you?
You opened your big mouth didn't you?

'Cause you got a big mouth
'Cause you got a big mouth
'Cause you got a big mouth
'Cause you got a big mouth

Opened up your big mouth didn't you?
Opened up your big mouth didn't you?
[Incomprehensible]

Opened up your big mouth didn't you?
'Cause you got a big mouth don't you?
Yes, you got a big mouth don't you?

You understand
You profess to your man, he'll run for cover
The air's getting thicker, he's getting dressed quicker
Start to feel sick 'cause you said I love you

Now it's too late, you'll just have to wait
Nothin' you can say gon' make it better
Three little words come out and shake up your world
And now you're freaky and needy 'cause you said I love you

Head's in my hands
Head's in my hands
Head's in my hands
Head's in my hands
