Damn I Said It First Lyrics - Pebble To A Pearl - 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 

Now my head's in my hands 

Ladies you understand 

When you profess to your man 

He'll run for cover 

The air's getting thicker 

He's getting dressed quicker 

Ya start to feel sick 

"Cause you said I love ya 

Now it's too late 

You'll just have to wait 

Nothin' you can say 

Goin' 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 ya 

Damn I said it first
