Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure
Another man’s lady is another man’s pleasure 
Another man’s ex is another man’s wife
Another man’s death is another man’s life
There must be a God in heaven 
‘Cause ever since I met you baby I been counting my blessings
Ever since we been together I done changed for the better
Learned that love is not a game but life is something to treasure  

We been together from the start cause we followed our heart
Pray to the Lord that nothing will ever tear us apart
‘Cause you my best friend, you my dream 
I’m so glad to have you on my team  

My aunt Pam treat me just like a son
She said she felt it in your hug, she told me you was the one
She told me “life is what you make it, it’s yours to choose” 
She almost broke down in tears when I told her the news 

She said, “What you want nephew, a boy or a girl?” 
I said, “I prayed for a pearl but He gave me the world”
There gosta be a God in heaven 
‘Cause ever since I met you baby I been counting my blessings
Love is a smile, wit a hug and a kiss
And my love is like a present baby, open your gift 
Start blowin’ out the candles, baby, make you a wish
Broken hearts I can fix, got a key you can get   

And a genie in a bottle told me we can be free
Girl, you know I got a cure, the doctor sent you to me
They say time is of the essence, God been sending me blessings 
And you, I got the answers for your 21 questions   

If we take our time baby we can grow like a tree 
I’m the root, your the fruit, I got the strength that you need 
When your heartbeat stop, I reconnect it to mine
Now you feel that I’m real, you know the heart don’t be lying  

See your smile use to be a frown, upside down 
Now you be acting like a clown girl when I come around
That was 20 questions baby, you got one more left
She asked me to love her back to life and never love her to death  

Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure
Another man’s lady is another man’s pleasure 
Another man’s ex is another man’s wife
Another man’s death is another man’s life
