Two Wrongs
Wyclef Jean Feat. Claudette Lyrics

I'm just sittin' here playin' the guitar
I'm casually strumming the guitar as Claudette and I sing this song

Excuse me if you see me screamin'
Please forgive me if I sound emotional or angry

But deep in my mind
In my thoughts and feelings that I haven't vocalized

I'm only dreamin'
I'm imagining or hoping for something that seems impossible

'Cuz if I wake girl and you're
Because if I wake up and you're not present

Not by my side
If you're not here with me in this moment

I feel like half of me
I feel incomplete, like a part of me is missing

Is no longer alive
Is no longer vibrant or thriving

So please, shorty
Please, my dear

Before you walk out that door, boopy
Before you leave me and the relationship, my love

Would you listen to my song
Could you hear me out and understand how I feel through this song

If only, I'd give you one last chance (One last chance)
If you gave me one more opportunity, I would make things right

With the devil you can no longer dance
You can't keep making harmful choices or engaging in destructive behavior

You've got to be faithful
You need to be loyal and committed to our relationship

So we can be fruitful
So we can have a successful and thriving partnership

Build a family and follow God's destiny
Create a family and pursue the path that God has planned for us

So just before I run to the block, Papi
Before I leave to the streets, my dear

I might listen to your song
I could consider your perspective through this song

Ooh, before you walk out that door
Oh, before you depart from me

Listen
Pay attention to me

They say two wrongs don't make it right
People say that responding to one mistake with another won't fix anything

(Don't make it right)
(It won't correct the situation)

So if I'm wrong I ain't tryin' to fight
So if I made a mistake, I'm not trying to argue or be confrontational

I'm tryin' to have some dinner with some candlelight
I'm attempting to create a romantic and intimate atmosphere

Lay up in the bed and make love all night
Relax, cuddle, and have romantic intimacy throughout the night

(So papi I won't leave baby I'll just stay)
(So my love, I won't leave, I'll stay)

(But promise me that you'll do the same)
(But assure me that you'll reciprocate the love and commitment)

Girl I'ma love you like I never loved you
My love for you will be stronger than ever before

(Touch me like you never touched me)
(Touch me with the same passion and intensity)

Girl if you give me the chance
If you allow me another opportunity

Girl I'm gonna show you
I'll demonstrate my love and dedication to you

Now baby, understand
My dear, comprehend

That I forgive you
That I have pardoned you

But I ain't gonna forget
But I won't completely let go of the memory or hurt

That you brought me regret
That your actions caused me distress and sorrow

But I have grown
However, I've matured and developed

From a thug to a man
From a violent and reckless person to a responsible adult

Built my castle with bricks
Constructed my life and future with sturdy and durable materials

And no longer with sand
No longer with unstable and fleeting substances

And just, before I run to the block, baby
And before I return to the rough streets, my dear

I might listen to your song
I could consider your perspective through this song

I'm so used to the pain that I
I'm accustomed to the distress and hurt that comes with this situation

Can't see the sunshine no more
I'm unable to appreciate the positive aspects of my life

I'm so used to the pain that the
I'm accustomed to emotional agony

Love sickness feels like the cure
The affliction of being in love feels like a remedy, even though it's painful

But if only you gave me
However, if you granted me

The keys to your soul and let me in
Access to your true emotions and thoughts

I'm gonna love you over
I'll express my intense love and passion to you

(Over)
(Repeatedly)

And over (over) again
Time and time again, without ceasing

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
(Vocalizations)

I ain't gonna stand on the block no more
I won't linger on the dangerous streets any longer

I'm gonna come home early girl, I promise
I'll return home at a decent hour, my promise to you
