Hook
Give it up for my lil' baby girl, she the only one in my world.
She's the only one who really loves me, I can tell when she comes and hugs me..
Give up for my lil' baby boy, the only one that brings me joy,
Me and him ride like were best friends, Me & my lil' man till the end
1st Verse
It was so crazy what I came through, the headaches and drama were not cool,
I always thought, that having a baby would change everything yeah.
Don't know why I was in and out of courtrooms, cause I was more than responsible I came through.
If I had to rewind it…all I would not change anything…

Some people care bout' things they own, more than there kids who have no clothes,
some lie and cheat and some are true, just ask yourself which one are you.
2nd Verse
My baby loves me unconditional, but the love from a stranger has come and gone…
Gotta do what's right, make sure that they come first over everything yeah…
How do you look in a kids eyes, they look just like you but you still deny…
You're gonna regret it, missing the first breath, first steps, you can't get em' back
If I was low, if I couldn't cope, If I was broke, yeah…
You'd be right there beside me helping me up you would not deny me…
If I was low, if I couldn't cope, If I was broke, yeah…
You'd be the one to build me up when I'm giving up..
My baby….
Hook

1st verse

How you doin'? How you been? Did you ever get to hook with your friend?
Cause it looked to me.. that she was a he..but I'm sure she probably stood you up again.
From the car he drives, he must be rich. I understand you being attracted to it…
You say it's business, & just a friend, but how come you disappeared for the whole weekend?

HOOK

You do things like I used to do, staying out till 3 or 2
No one know's where you are but you, you can do what you wanna do
You're somethin'…I think your'e somethin'

2nd verse

If you're into him, for the dough…I ain't gonna knock you tryin' to hustle.
But if you're that girl, who trades her body, for a free flight girl I gotta go…
All the sudden, you turn around…and serious is what you wanna be now..
Well you can't be my lady, and still be out there dating..
Girl that's just not the way that I get down….

HOOK

You do things like I used to do, staying out till 3 or 2
No one know's where you are but you, you can do what you wanna do
You're somethin'…I think your'e somethin'

HOOK

Hard to believe that you're still by my side/
This love profound transcended space and time/
I've never seen or felt a thing like this in my life/
Just can't believe your love for me…

1st verse

Girl till I me you long ago, never dreamed someone would match my soul..oh no..
We're more alike than we'll ever know…
So many lovers bit the dust, and so many more upon the cusp..say what's
Our secret, I've got this wondering it's just…

HOOK
Hard to believe that you're still by my side/
This love profound transcended space and time/
I've never seen or felt a thing like this in my life/
Just can't believe your love for me…

2nd verse

I don't know what the future is, I just know that God gave me a gift..you're it..
Picked from a sea of lonely fish…
Never said that it's been easy though, cause we've had our share of bumpy roads, we know… cause even through some red lights we had to go..
I ain't been the..same
Since I've said your..name
Baby girl it's never..changed..
I can't believe yeah, yeah…

When I look in your…eyes
You brutally tell no…lies
So I really don't know…why
But I can't believe…

HOOK

1st verse

Girl, people assume you're all about that cash,
They don't know you heart is gold you just move fast,
I'll admit when I met you I had you figured wrong,
Everytime I turned around there was money on your arms,
They'd promise you things but they never came through,
That's maybe when we met how I hooked you,
I saw something in you no one's ever seen,
I got some of what they got but I'm just more real

HOOK

Can you be my Goldigger/
So I can touch you all time…

Can you be my Goldigger/
All my friends want you but you're mine
Want you for my Goldigger/
Tell all your NBA friends so long…

Can you be my Goldigger/
Don't you need love?

2nd verse

Girl…I may not have the dough that you're used to,
But I got more than enough to take care of you,
The only thing I want from you is respect,
So don't introduce me to some one that you wanna hit,
You might be teasing & hittin' him through the phone,
But in my mind I know that shit is still wrong,
Wanted to check you girl so now you know…
I know you want financial security/ & respect,
Someone that really listens to you/ & good sex,
No one selling you/ false dreams,
Just one man giving you/ the real thing,
See I know I took you out the game but your life is still far from simple and plain
So be patient, you gon' get to see the world, & there's no one I'd rather do it with,
Than you my girl…..

HOOK

So beautiful, yes you are…all my life you've been, my good luck charm…
You grew this boy, into a man…showed him how to walk the righteous path…
Wanna thank you for, all you've done…for the neighborhoods you fought to keep as one.
Through the thankless times, when no one cared…you were always a rock standing right there..there..but I…
Can't express my love…
Such an honor to be your son…
It was so hard and so much fun…
There's not a thing that I could say or do to repay you…
Thank you…Thank you…
Always wondered why, you ran that pole… from the neighbors house, to our stove…
You were stealing gas, to keep up warm…thank God we made it through the storm..
I asked Mom why you had six names, and when the lights went out they had to change..
You worked us hard no time for play, lookin' back now, thank you for each day
Can't express my love…
Such an honor to be your son…
It was so hard and so much fun…
There's not a thing that I could say or do to repay you…

HOOK

I gonna…keep thankin' ya
I wanna…keep thankin' ya
Lovin' ya…keep thankin' ya
I'm gonna…keep thankin' ya

<(Verse 1):
Love was so strong
At least at the beginning
Who would've thought
That there'd ever be an ending
We had it all
But it's like we've run into a wall

Now we try to talk
But just end up fighting
Try making up
But there's just no denying
Just ain't the same no more
What are we putting ourselves through all this for

You talk and hear me
But you can't communicate
Cause you're not lis'ning
Know these are two differnt things
Now I see what it means to have been
Blinded by the one you love so deeply
Cause,

(Chorus):
The very things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away, now (now)
In tears we stand here
With Nothing Left To Say

And all I could do for you
I should've done before (now)
In tears we stand here
There's Nothing Left To Say

(Verse 2):
You touch'd my heart
And were so givin
Spare it so free
You drew me in it
I fell so deep
I could not see my life
Without you in it

Girl you gave me
Alot of attention
Somehow the feeling turned
Into crazy possessive
It was always there
But I didn't look deeper
If I would've I'da seen the limits

You talk and hear me
But you can't communicate
Cause you're not lis'ning
Know these are two differnt things
Now I see what it means to have been
Blinded by the one you love so deeply

I had my pride girl
And you had your pain
So deep inside you
Wanted to have your say
Irritated, frustrated and hurt
Baby this is so confusing
Girl I thought this was the real thing for sure

The very things that made me love you
Are the things pushing me away, now (away now)
In tears we stand here
With Nothing Left To Say

And all I could do for you (And All I Could Do For You)
I should've done before (before, oh in tears)
In tears we stand here (oh)
There's Nothing Left To Say

(Bridge):
Sayyy-ay-e-ay-ay-ay-ay (Nothin', Nothin')
Ayy-e-ayy-ay-ay-ay (Nothinnn', Nothin')

Wish I had more words
To try and encourage
Us to find a way
Cause there's Nothing Left To Say

(Chrous):
The very things that made me love you
are the things pushing me away now (pushing me away now, oh)
in tears we stand here (ooh, ooh, Nothing)
with nothing left to say

(And I Could Do For You)
And all I could do for you
(I Should've done before it's true)
I should've done before (now)
(Should've done it before baby, yeah)
In tears we stand here (ooh, ooh!, oh)
There's Nothing Left To Say

The very things that made me love you (Made me love you)
Are the things pushing me away, now (Oh, In tears we stand here)
In tears we stand here (oh, Oo, oh)
With Nothing Left To Say (To Say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)

And all I could do for you (All I Could Do!)
I should've done before (Yeah!)
In tears we stand here (Before)
There's Nothing Left To Say (No-Thing, Left to)
Say-ay-ay-ay-ay


Yeah, yeah, oh, Ooo, oh, oh, oh
And Baby there's
Not-thing-Left-Tooo
Sayyyyy>

1st verse

Hey girl, you in danger goin' down the hill..doin' 90 miles and hour behind the wheel..
So every man sees you, then you might let one please you..leave you so empty.
Girl you must not think you're worth anything..don't know bout' the natural gifts that you bring..
Girl I appreciate you,never try to fake you, I'll show you how it's really supposed to be…
Girl…you can get what you want, if you just slow down and walk..just turn to your right
You'll see somebody cares about cha.
Girl…nobody knows you like I do, there's so many people fakin' you..just turn to your right.
You'll see somebody cares about cha.

2nd verse

I know…that you're feelin' kinda heavy, from all..that armor that you've had to carry…
But you can put it down cause I wanna be around and I feel your heart wants that too.
You say it ain't always bout' the physical.. and you want someone who ain't all material..
Girl what you wanna do, let's be about the truth, you know I'll make you feel brand new.
You know this whole time that I've been the one right..here.
Baby come on sit right next to me in this..chair.
Let's get into it girl cause I want your soul bare..
I've been right here, yeah..yeah..
Girl…you can get what you want, if you just slow down and walk..just turn to your right
You'll see somebody cares about cha.
Girl…nobody knows you like I do, there's so many people fakin' you..just turn to your right.
You'll see somebody cares about cha.

BRIDGE

No more, no more…
Do you have to be the craziest, to pass the test…
No more, no more…
Do you have to be the one abused, and feel a fool…
No more, no more…
Do you have to compromise yourself, if you don't want to…
No more, no more, girl you fit for me, and I know the same is true for you…

HOOK

[No lyrics]

Do I continue living by myself..
Milking the single life till my last breath?
I know I found someone to fulfill my needs..
Why do I need to question how it should be?
So why do we try, to let love pass us by…
Question how we feel, that love is not for real.
Can I not be afraid to leave my cell at home?
When I get a ring can I keep it on?
It can be hard to break that family curse…
Cause brother and daddy's relationships did not work.
Seems they were getting married every week…
Why the trouble if you know you're gonna cheat?
How do you say bye to the lovers of yesterday?
Cause nobody told you there's no easy way…
So why do we try, to let love pass us by…
Question how we feel, that love is not for real.

What about the way you love me? Is it enough, cause ain't no trust?
What about the things you did to me? Snoopin' around, checkin' if I'm steppin' out?
It's the deeds not the words..baby can't you see, I'm the real thing.
Now you're sayin' how you need me, & that you're gonna change,
But baby it's too lil' too late.

HOOK

I just cannot go on……
Just don't understand what you want…..
So I'm walkin' out, the door…the door..
Too through doin' this back & forth…& forth…

2nd verse

I hate it when you try and talk to me…
When you're on that narcotic, getting' home from your midnite frolic.
Everybody sees how you do me, they come to me…they say you're always actin' like you're free…
But you know you ain't free, free…
Girl this ain't how no love should be..
So why you publicly put pee pee on me..
This thing we got is up and down,
So it's time for me to check on out, too many bouts, too many doubts, girl you're up to no good..

HOOK

BRIDGE

No more hesitation…
On the confirmation…
Of the cancellation…
Of our relations…

HOOK

I feel the heat emanating/ Flickering shadows frame your skin…
Sensual aurora of your body/ Like sweet incense I breathe you in…
Tracing paths of anticipation/ As you move my hand along your thigh
Watchin your eyes casing my body/ Honey you know you got me high…

HOOK

So bring it on girl/ And we can get it on girl…
I'll do whatever I need to do lady/ To make you moan girl…
Wanna hear you call my name/ Cause then I'll know girl…
That I'm doin' it right for you honey/ When I hear you moan girl…

2nd verse

You know your so intoxicating/ Chemistry way off the charts…
You got me jonesing for you honey/ The way you love me be a work of art…
Awww Girl just let me put it to you/ Whatever you want that's alright…
Be getting' it on like Kama Sutra/ & you know I know just what you like…

HOOK


BRIDGE

There ain't no need in us tryin' to shake it/ Girl you know just how we do…
No more teasing, no more playin'/ Time for you to sing your song
Moon to morning long

The Queen, of come here go away you are…
You take me high in, the sky, but never touch the stars…
Up & up you take me then you stop…
Hot and cold, your moods sure change a lot…
Are you real, or are you fakin..
Up & up, then off you shake me…
Don't understand it, I really hate it girl…
Can you, ever, tell me, where your head goes…
When bliss, is us then suddenly, you stop the flow…
Is it turkey sausage, or real bacon…
Are you real or are you fakin'…
Don't understand it, I really hate it girl…
Are you real, or are you fakin..
Up & up, then off you shake me…
Don't understand it, I really hate it girl…
The Queen of come, here go away you are…..

1st verse

I think you're beautiful/ Wish I had you all the time…the time
Always on the go/ Dating different men all the time
Always searchin' for/ Somethin' that you can't find…you can't find
Don't know why I mess witcha/ You ain't right for my mind

HOOK

Wish I could love you/Wish I could be with you
But you're always hangin' out/ Always on somebody's couch
Wish I could love you/ Wish I could be with you
You're a pimp but I could be wrong/ Always new men blowin' up your phone

2nd verse

When you had a few ddrinks/ You slipped and called me your man…your man
If I'm your man girl/ Then why is your X in your bed
You said he was passing through/ And he's like a brother to You…to you
I can see stayin' the night/ But for 3 days I didn't get to see you..
I thought he was passing through…

HOOK

Wish I could love you/Wish I could be with you
But you're always hangin' out/ Always on somebody's couch
Wish I could love you/ Wish I could be with you
You're a pimp but I could be wrong/ Always new men blowin' up your phone
I wish I could love you/ Wish I could love…Wish I could love you…
But you might have that pimp juice/ Might have that pimp juice…
So I can't love you…
