You call your mother when your in pain
Don't keep on crying cos there's nothing left to gain
You call your father when you need love
Now call your preacher
But don't give up

One man, he let you down
One man, played you around
One man, can turn your life inside out
One man, is not all that life's about

Over and over you were hurt a deal
Yet you keep insisting on loving him still
Despite every smile and those whispering lies
You know he used you
Girl, open your eyes

When you're in pain
Don't keep on crying
When there's nothing left to gain
You call your father when you need love
Now call your preacher
But don't give up because

One man, he let you down
One man, played you around
One man, can turn your life inside out
One man, is not all that life's about

One man, I said one man
Hey hey, he was running around
Oh-ho, all over town

If your lover he moves you slow
And takes his time to let you know
[He'll let you go]
How he feels and where you stand
Let him know he's just one man

When you're in pain
Don't keep on crying
Coz there's nothing left to gain
You call your father when you need love
Call your preacher
But don't give up because

One man, he's running around
I said one man, played you around, girl
One man, can turn your life inside out
One man, is not all that life's about
