[Verse 1]
Yesterday you told me that you love me
And you love me for good
You said that we'd get married
When the time was right and I understood

[Pre-Chorus]
But how long were you planning to deceive me?
Love me and then leave me
How long will you pull the wool all over my eyes?

[Chorus]
I wish you had told me
You were a family man
'Cause if you had told me
I would have made other plans

[Verse 2]
It wasn't very long ago
You promised me that we'd go away
Told me to be patient
You say good things come to those who can wait

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will you play with my emotions
Treat me like a token?
How long must you play your silly games with my heart?
[Chorus]
I wish you had told me
You were a family man
'Cause if you had told me
I would have made other plans
I wish you had told me (I'm walking out the door)
You were a family man (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
'Cause if you had told me (Don't come around no more, baby)
I would have made other plans
(I would have made other plans)

[Bridge]
Please, I've had enough of this mess
Baby, oh, how long?
How long?

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will you play with my emotions
Treat me like a token?
How long must you play your silly games with my heart?

[Chorus]
I wish you had told me
You were a family man
'Cause if you had told me (If you had told me)
I would have made other plans
I wish you had told me (I'm walking out the door)
You were a family man (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
'Cause if you had told me (So don't come around no more, baby)
I would have made other plans (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
[Bridge]
You know it just ain't right
To your family and your wife
And all your lies and alibis
Are messing up my life
How do I love you like I do, I do
Why do I put my faith in you
How could I be so blind and let you play me
Play me for a fool

[Chorus]
I wish you had told me
You were a family man
'Cause if you had told me
I would have made other plans
