[Verse 1: LeToya]
When I met you, I never thought we'd be together (be together)
But somehow, we seemed to find some common ground (common ground)
And I knew that we wouldn't be forever (forever, ooh)
But I never thought this would be going down (down, down, down, down)
Cause you ain't checking me
And I wish I never met you cause (I wish I never met you cause)
The truth of the matter is

[Chorus: Tiffany]
It's not the way I pictured this going down
Thought you was a real man
Thought you had some real plans
It's not the way I pictured this going down
See I can't hold it back, no
Cause I'm just too mad now
Not the way I pictured this going down

[Verse 2: Tiffany]
Was it me that made you turn back forever?
Could it be that I'm the one that brought us down? (down, down)
Should've packed my bags when came the stormy weather (weather)
But couldn't bare the pain of you not being around (around, around, around)
See you can't blame me cause
Been no less than a good woman to you
Couldn't appreciate me still
[Chorus: Tiffany]
It's not the way I pictured this going down (down, no, no, no)
Thought you was a real man
Thought you had some real plans (thought you had some real plans, baby)
It's not the way I pictured this going down
See I can't hold it back, no (I can't hold it back)
Cause I'm just too mad now (I can't hold it back, no)
Not the way I pictured this going down

[Bridge: Anjel (Tiffany)]
You came every time (woo) you don't get your way
You know it's a 50/50 thang, boo (50/50 thang, boo)
Cherish me and try to get to know me (try to get to know me)
Be my one and only
Thought you said you loved me (thought you said you loved me)

[Chorus: Tiffany]
It's not the way I pictured this going down
Thought you was a real man (thought you was a real man)
Thought you had some real plans (thought you had some real plans)
It's not the way I pictured this going down (pictured this going down)
See I can't hold it back, no
Cause I'm just too mad now (cause I'm just too mad now)
Not the way I pictured this going down (not the way I pictured this going down)

[Outro: Anjel]
It's not the way I pictured this going
It's not the way I thought it would be
It's not the way I pictured this going
Not the way I, not the way I
It's not the way I pictured this going
It's not the way I thought it would be
It's not the way I pictured this going
It's not the way I, not the way I
