John Legend - Number One Lyrics
Ooh I promise not to do it again
I promise not to do it
You can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
To keep you from knowing the things I do
Like erase my phone
And keep it out of town
I keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should have known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me now
You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time
Don't make me over
Cuz I can be faithful
Baby you're my number one
You're my number one
Now who is she?
What's her name?
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this
We fight about that
You hang up the phone and call me right back
Well I'll never be something I'm not
Please don't throw away what we've got
Cuz we've been together for way too long
I was playing around but I'm coming home
You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (no one above you)
I said it the last time (hey, hey)
But this is the last time
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (baby)
You're my number one
[Kanye's Rap]
I keep you laced up so you aint gotta borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on eBay --baby why is they frontin'?
They be on the internet but they never cop nothin'
I keep you in Girl what is those on your toes?
And your neck staying froze off that rose colored gold
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own and he just be seeing shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off he ask me who is you playin' wit?
But I know he love you he told me you was his favorite
You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (above you)
I said it the last time (said it the last time)
But this is the last time (hey hey hey yeah)
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (oh baby)
You're my number one
You're making it hard for me
You're messing up everything
You tell me I gotta leave
Say we over
You saw that she came over
Came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover
Say we over
I promise I won't cheat
I promise I won't lie
I promise I'll act right
Say we over
You can't tell me
I can't have you
I can't have that
We aint over
Hey, it aint over baby
We aint over
Oh you don't need to go it's not over
We aint over
Oh...
We aint over
Oh it's gonna be alright now don't go now

John Legend Number One Comments
Yo I really didn't care about my ears 10 years ago lol. This song is wild garbage!!!
The sexiest man alive!! See I told you, 10 years ago. Go John,....
What a playa
I DO miss THIS John Legend...i respect his changes tho😍
I guess I'll accept that I'm the only one that remembers this song in 2019
His teeth looks fucked up
anyone in 2019?
this song makes me happy even though it is a cheating song lol
just love it! <3
I have this Album, But want a newer one of the same!!!!
WE ARE NUMBER ONE
Good soul music. No new hiphop morons around
Been looking 4 this.wow!
0:12-0:16 cheating means you don't love them
this is that good John Legend sorry dont like the new shit
This is the John Legend that I prefer.
"You cant say i don't love you just because i cheat on you"
Good thing he got his teeth fixed
2018 who's still feelin this legend? ✌✌
Great song.😎 "Number 1" 👌
Do you idiots not realise he's making fun of what cheaters say to their ex lovers?
Where's Kanye lol?
i like thank you
Songwriters are story-tellers. They act a character with their songs just like movie actors. Your supposed to laugh at the pathetic man that can't control himself. This track is awesome.
this is still on my playlist !!!!
I never knew there was a music video for this song
I FUCKIN LOVE THIS SONG SYHUVD I HAVENT HEARD IT IN SO LONG SVHD
WHERES KANYE????
Arthur really is an amazing singer.
🎶🎵😎✌
TBH this song is for cheating husbands lol.
♡♡♡♡♡♡
The staples. Xscape and then john legend... yasss i love all three versions
HAHA GAVE KANYE THE AXE! The song doesn't really loose anything without Kanye's loud ass anyway. To be fair when he did this song he was much less of a bastard that we all know him as now. This song is an instant classic because it takes from a classic.
Let's do it again baby---brilliant sir mighty John Legend. Keep that soul rolling..
Still a GREAT ass album, easily his best! Favorite song off the album just because he uses "Let's do it again", easily one of the best Motown songs ever!
throwback to when John was a funny looking cheater...
I will beat his ass
lovable!!!
Well the music is nice... 😂
lmao im upset.
Good Morning!
I promise I won't cheat,
I promise I won't lie,
*thinks dang I just lied*
WTF is this?? this is the first time im hearing this and its 2017. i didnt know he made a song about cheating
I cant believe I also love this song too it for begging for forgiveness and I am dancing on this one
Great song but such trashy lyrics
If you love me you won't cheat on me. Not a nice song. How would a man like if if his woman say the same thing. I'm tell you he would not like. They can't even stand it when another man looks at his woman.
ah ya... :p
"I keep it strapped up when I SLEEP AROUND" Only JL can make this song so catchy that you forget he's cheating!
lol when John Legend wasn't shit. He's calmed down but used to be savage
omg deserves Soooo much more views
Bump the lyrics, let's talk the teeth
When he cheats on you but says that your his Number One... smh
he ought to be ashamed of him self lol
I love this song, just like a great actor he makes you look through the eyes of a man who's ungrateful for a beautiful woman. It's great that many of you hate the man in the video, you should because it shows that you still have the God given conscience you were born with. Also on the contrary don't mix John with who he's trying to portray, he is really a loyal loving husband.
I love the rest of John Legend's music, but this is sick! The worst song from him in my mind!
I am guessing from the song Right after this where he was singing srsly of change is the purpose of this video
Wow...this is sO disappointing. Hopefully you're not still the misogynist womanizer you were when this was made.
Andrew Bourque he never was
The only man I know that can make a cheating song sound like a happy song.. lol
Micheala Sutton j
Micheala Sutton what comment Sis ! Luv it tho
LMFAOOOOOOOO
Look up After 7 - Heat Of The Moment, it's another one of those lol
Hahahaha the lyrics tho... "You can't say that i dont love you, just because i cheat on you" No Johnny No!!! lol
Jade Monique Taylor the next line is even more of a trip "You can't see all I do to keep you from knowing the things I do" I laughed my ass off the first time I heard this song when his album first dropped. It's still one of my favorites
this is the jam. the lyrics I don't agree with tho, lol.
the song that put me on to John Legend. I still love it and Kanye on the beat
Y'all trippin him n Kanye did amazing it's a great song
A love this song if some did that to me a wood go
vintage Kanye
Everyone is capable of a crime of passion, the heart or lust can often be stronger than the mind...
if you run out of exscuses sing this song lol
Dis one of his best songs.. Dis song is underated... he sampled it from the staple singers
hell yes
lol wow really?
"I keep you laced up so you ain't gotta borrow nothin..."
Les.patter
Such beautiful women in this video
Why ias John keep on making disgusting videos?! Ok. I officeally HATE him.
Nobody cares?
I officially hate your spelling...
i think he ran out of ideas so he made up this stupid song
+celinaakiki2 This song was on his first album, haha. Very old song of his. What's funny is when I first started listening to John Legend I thought he was one of the few morally astute individuals in the music industry. But after listening to more and more of his songs it's apparent that he really isn't in some aspects (not all). I still do enjoy his music quite a bit though, and he does have some thought-provoking songs like "Show Me" for example.
+Rajah Dajah now he got experience and is so much better
@celinaakiki2 Ehhhh... I personally think he was at his best both musically and lyrically on his second album "Once Again". His new album was great though, don't get me wrong, just not really thematically diverse.
+celinaakiki2 songs like heaven, pda, ordinary people, everybody knows are better than his new stuff
in my opinion of course
"you can't say that i dont love you, just because i cheat on you" haha! my nigga!
Not a big John fan. I come to see more about him and this is song number two, and it is this....SMH...I'm done. I tried.
you've listened to two John Legend songs out of 4 albums and hundreds of other songs and you've decided that that's an accurate measurement of his skill and talent? LOL okay....
1st impression is a lasting impression. That is a saying for a reason. I am pretty sure I did not say he was not talented or skilled, I said I do not care for him. He has you to validate him, so it's all good. Go in peace.
agk bgs dih
If you cheat on me, it's "To the left, to the left..."
Lmao I guess this is wear the lingo side chicks main chick n fuckboy came from good old slut culture
@runrockwater Yep.
Perfect song for your first baby mother.
Endorsed by......
Sleeping around is fine... As long as she is doing it too. It's called an open relationship. When both parties, knowingly and willingly commit to such a relationship and promise to be each others number one. Other than that, it's cheating John Legend! It's in no way acceptable.
like i love you
This is perfect. No matter how beautifull your girlfriend is. Men always need more women. That is sooo funny!
I know right. Learnt that the hard way..
Nieves Marqués wow you just spit some truth about real life. it depend on how a woman treat a man. if depend on how a man love his woman. i love the song but when a man need to go he should just go don't create any war and trouble. Just leave
Nieves Marqués Not always, I'm not looking at anybody else but my girl.
SH** HE IS BEING REAL, PEOPLE JUS CANT HANDLE REALNESS AND KEEPING PEACE. YOU KNOW YOU CAN MAKE YO MIND UP TO ACTUALLY GROW STRONG IN A RELATIONSHIP, THAT IS, IF THE RELATION IS REAL AND THE TWO RELATE TO EACH OTHER. THE TWO MAKING THE UNION KNOW THAT IT IS A COMPANIONSHIP. THAT MEANS YOU KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY AND WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP AND LIVE PROSPEROUS. IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GROW YOU MUST STAY WHERE GOD PLANTS U LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE STRONG ROOTS THERE. THEN YOU CAN CAY OOPS I ALREADY TRIPPED OVER THAT BIG AS* ROOT THERE IN THE GROUND, NEXT TIME,I WILL JUST SIMPLY WALK OVER THE D THING, BET THAT. AINT THAT RIGHT BABY? LOL I LOVE MUSIC!!.IT FEELS GOOD TO EXPRESS LIFE OUT LOUD AND IT FEEL GOOD. BIG PROPS!!! & SHOUT OUT TO J LEGEND.U R AWESOME 4 REAL. 100-
The reason why women have insecurities
If you're offended by this song. You obviously haven't heard that first album. A couple cheating anthems on there. Still great music tho
esta genial
Lol some of y'all are funny in this comments section. Taking this video so literal like John Legend is condoning cheating. He's an artists and just like actors they portray roles in songs and videos. Ever see your favorite actor in a not so nice roll? A cheater, a killer, a drug dealer? It's the same thing. Not every song an artist comes out with is a direct reflection of who they are as a person. It's all part of the role. Like in music videos the artist may be married but the leading man/lady in the video is not their wife/husband. It's a good song and I like the sample he used. I wish listeners would stop being so damn critical!
how do you know that for certain? a lot of his songs deal with him and women; he just might be a player... even if you are just playing a role you need to be careful because you are representing something and people can be influenced by it... you have to be responsible for all the effects of your goods or your are harming people and that is NOT ok... if you have to turn down a role because is causes people to want to cheat then you must do so...
I feel ya
Rasheed Murdaugh If you listen to the album in its entirety, you would be certain of exactly what he is truly saying.
lol i was waiting for kanye
smh
I like his music but this song is awful!!! Why is he singing a song that it should be ok to cheat and she stay with him??!!!
hemmm so many women are running to you John...
HyufilmBihfilmllm

Everything on the song and the video is a bullshit!
Such a fucked up song. I can't stand the way that some men think!! Fucking idiots!
+Grand Champ.
I'm loyal, and that is another dumb ass song. Lol
+tesalewis27 It's clearly satire
Total bs. What is the message we are telling women now??
Tiffany Wickham , some men have this type of mindset.
