May I Have Your Permission?

With your permission you are second best
I got with you just like the rest...
Told you I was taken, you had a decision
Made you the mistress, with your permission.

What did you think with each moment we shared?
That I wanted you, needed you and actually cared?
I did, during that moment when I completed my mission.
Lets not forget, it all happened 'cause you gave me permission.

Now you're upset, tonight I cannot come through.
I have plans with number one. Remember, you are number two.
The truth is in plain sight, but you refuse to check your vision.
You put YOU in that spot when you gave me permission.

Your nights, cold and lonely. Mine warm with affection.
My family shows love to me from each direction.
Ask yourself why and how you got in that position...
You blame me, when it was you who gave me permission.

You ended it. That's cool, no regrets on my part.
I knew it wouldn't last too long, right from the start.
When you're number one, that's it. There is no competition.
Because a two becomes a zero if she won't give permission.

You call me names, say I'm a dog and do women wrong.
When the truth is, you were lying to yourself all along.
I told you I was taken, and you made your decision...
You knew there'd be no love, and yet you still gave permission.
