[Intro]
Hmm
Sometimes you can go through life and never know
Never know
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Told you everything I wanted in a lady
Hopin' you would catch the vibes
Told you everything I do for my baby
All she’d have to do is ride
Told you everything your friendship means to me
And I'd love to have you here
Guess you only wanted to be a friend to me
Let me try and make this clear

[Chorus]
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, you never knew
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could’ve just replied back
Swear you never knew, you never knew
[Verse 2]
Told me 'bout the men that treated you unfairly
Gave the shoulder for the cry
Told me 'bout the one that you was supposed to marry
But he was livin' a lie, oh, oh-oh
Told me all you needed was something real
I was willing to provide
I was hopin' we was gon' close the deal
Sent the text, you didn't reply

[Chorus]
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
You never knew, it was really like that
You never knew
Could've just replied back
Swear you never knew, You never knew
You never knew, I was tryna wife that
