I'm comin' home to you, wear something see-through
So I can see your heart
For night can never come soon enough for me
I watch the sky all day

Night is where I find you and peace of mind
My days are filled with glee
That's why I truly give you what you need
Because you love me for me

Good runs all through you, I can't help myself
You found my weakest spot
But better woman to be there to sit next to
That's why I'll always be with you

Yes, I'm funny like a clown, but I'm never down
As long as you're around
There will never be another one for me
'Cause you are shinin' for me

Ooh... ooh...
Oh... oh...
Oh... oh... oh...
Oh... oh... oh... oh...

You'll never have to beg me to come to bed
I'll warm your bed each night
If you want me to that's what I will do
That's why I'll always be with you

How about the possibility of you and I
Lady can we try
Lady say you're with it
If you're not with it, get it 'scuse me

Can't make you stay
If you want to go
Sugar I can't make you love me
If you're heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody does it like I do like I do

Hey excuse me please
You sure look good to me
With your straight hair up braids
Kinda got my momma's waves (kinda got my momma's waves)
How about the possibility of you and I
Lady can we try
Lady say you're with it
If you're not with it, get it 'scuse me

The first time I saw your thighs
That's when I realized
My heart - it skipped a beat
I can't seem to make you see
I tried everything in my book
I'm laughing cause you won't even look
I gotta stop wasting my time so excuse me please

Can't make you stay
If you wanna go
Sugar I can't make you love me
If you're heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody does it like I do like I do

I'm a try this one more time
You look like virgin eyes
This one here might be true
And here's a few fools for you
I - I wanna be married but free
I gotta let the drama miss me
Could this apple fit on your tree
If not excuse me please

Hey excuse me please
You sure look good to me
With your straight hair up braids
Kinda got my momma's waves (kinda got my momma's waves)
How about the possibility of you and I
Lady can we try
Lady say you're with it
If you're not with it, get it 'scuse me

Can't make you stay
If you wanna go
Sugar I can't make you love me
If you're heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody does it like I do like I do

Can't nobody love you babe
Can't nobody touch you babe
Like I do
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It'll be all right
It'll be all right
It'll be okay

Love's goin' be all right
This ain't nuthin but a slow song
Oh yeah all right... gospeldelic
It'll be all good

I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times
But everyday I count my blessings this way 'cause I know that everyday's a different day. My friends can change but his will never change.
And I knew there would be some time, when I would second guess my mind.

So I kept on walking, kept on striving,
Kept on singing and guess who showed up.

As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one, ' As long as I, that's why I always try and do my best to search inside.
But I knew there would be a day, when I had to look the other way.

So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

I told myself one day to falll on my knees and pray
And never listen to noone if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material love
His money, no money no money, can make me happy.
Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cause I'm using my eyes.

I close my eyes and... Kept on pushing,
I just stopped looking and guess who showed up.

My friend won't let you down, He's always been around.
That's one thing I know for sure. Even when I'm wrong, he's right at my door.
He'll never ignore.

Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I can't say them in all one day.
I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me
Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be.
When I thought it couldn't get no better, just when I thought it was almost over.

Oh noooo
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

Oooooh, oooh...

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray. (4 x's)

You see, baby
I ain't going nowhere ... . no
I'm just gon' wait on you
Girl, I swear

I'm here when you need me, you should know
I can always listen, so
'Cause, girl you're my baby (baby)
This thing that you're going through
Just do what you got to do
And love will show you the rest, girl

How much time do you need
To solve all your deeds?
'Cause I could go for a ride!
Now, tell me one thing, please
Nobody will shuffle me
'Cause we might just have a chance, girl

I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do

My friends say I'm slippin' over you
I wonder how they knew
But, I guess I'm home every night
I still have visions of you
No other girl will do
Shit, I just got to kiss you

And, I know this can't be the end
We got to be free from sin
At least we can try
But, here's what we gonna do
'Cause I understand you
Let's make out just one more time

I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock

You see, sometimes, lady
When I'm alone by myself (yeah)
All I can do is think about the times we use to share
Think about the good times, baby
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And, you know another thing baby
It ain't the same no more when I go out at night
I get a bunch of numbers, baby
And, they all just stay in my pockets for days
I don't wanna call nobody else
I don't wanna see nobody else
I don't wanna work nobody else
But, I guess I'll – I guess I'll just wait

I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock (tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock)

Oh yeah, baby!
Come on back home, baby
Lord, have mercy
Please! Please! Please!

The streets are paved with fallen souls (I don't know what I've been told)
Cause I ain't never been down that road
The ghetto got a dirty name (the media pursued their flame)
But tell me who are they to really say?
It's not about the residents (damn what people think of them)
Bush is sitting cozy on the hill
So don't look down, look up high (don't let these people steal your pride)
Use that ghetto bullshit as a shield

And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth
(I don't think they heard you)
And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth

Here we go another year (niggas juggling hate and fear)
Time is moving like the twelve-hand
It ain't all so political (black-on-black or physical)
But everybody's got to understand
See life ain't what it used to be (death is sowing many seeds)
Removing like we'll never see pain
I usually run through life but now (I act too quickly, slow it down)
But I never, ever compromised myself

And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth
(I don't think they heard you)
And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth

The government's the biggest pimp (they take their cut and leave you with)
Nothing at the end of the day
I'm searching for a solitude (but all I find is niggas who)
Smile and tell me lies to my face
The industry's no better cause (they only show you mad love)
When you're life and soul is living on the charts
But when you're luck is facing down (those ones, they are not around)
Will take your heart and put it in the ground

And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth
(I don't think they heard you)
And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth

And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth
(I don't think they heard you)
And people, people... somebody's got to tell the truth

I won't cheat on you
I won't do it no more
Like I did before
I can't do it no more

I'm faithful to my baby
To cheat on you would be crazy
I can't cheat on you
I can't do it no more

I've been a cheater
Ever since I was 12 years old
Baby-baby, yeah, baby
But when I first laid eyes on you
I knew it was over for the other cuties
Oh, lady

I could see big girls from Amsterdam
But I'll never take the chance
'Cause I really love your, your style
There could be fine naked girls in the room
But I'm comin' home to you
'Cause you know I love you

Girl, I love your big eyes
I'm faithful to my baby
You're my one special prize
To cheat on you would be crazy
I won't cheat on you
I can't do it no more

To get respect
I know I have to show respect
That's why I'm by your side goin' nowhere
Now that I'm with you
Every girl wants a piece of my mind and soul
Can't have it

You know you really opened my eyes
Even my father was surprised
How faithful I am to you
I tell them all to get away
'Cause I love you more each day
And my life is yours

Girl, you are my whole life

(Saadiq, what's up, Playboy)
You know what's up (What's up with that)
I can't be like you no more (What's wrong with me, man)
You got 'em all, you got this one, you got that one
You got 4 or 5 of 'em (You know I love them rigs)
They ain't seein' me (Huh)
I gotta let all that go
'Cause you just can't have 'em all, you know what I'm sayin'
(I heard ya, I hear ya)
'Cause I really love my baby-baby, woo-wee, baby

I'm faithful to my baby
I won't cheat on you
And to cheat on you would be crazy, baby
To cheat on you would be crazy
Nobody could ever change my mind
Lady, lady, I'll be crazy

I'm faithful to my baby
I won't cheat on you
And I'm comin' home every night, baby-baby
To cheat on you would be crazy
They could me crazy
'Cause I love you, lady, I love you, lady, woo, baby

I won't cheat on you
I won't do it no more
Like I did before
I can't do it no more
I can't do it no more, no
Oh, no
I can't do it no, no more

I won't cheat on you
I won't do it no more
Like I did before (Like I did before)
I can't do it no more

No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, baby

I won't cheat on you
I won't do it no more
Like I did before
I can't do it no more

Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just want to play

Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play

Being with you baby that's gonna make my day
Come and help me darling, I just wanna play
