Please Baby

Yeah

Sometime women complain about the fact they might get a man that don't want to work, and then they end up with a workaholic and they complain about the fact they got a man who's not never at home. So I guess its like the gift and the curse, or maybe you should watch what you wish for because you just might get it

I need a clock with more hours, a calendar with more days

To compensate for spending so much time away

It drives me insane when I'm signing autographs

And she sends me pictures of my daughter in the bath

And I miss that, because I wish I was there

Who wins? The player or the square, call it in the air

I'm just not your 9-to-5, suit and tie, clock punching type of guy

But we both knew that (please baby)

Believe me when I tell you it's true

That I'm not thinking bout any other woman but you

That's why I do what I do and keep it moving

My love is perpetual and forever be improving

I send you shopping with the babies and buy you things

To compensate for the time with furniture and rings

Like to say that I'mma stop, but that'll be a lie

I just need you by my side and believe me when I say

(Please baby) understand that there is no perfect man

Lil' momma I promise I'm doing the best that I can

(Please baby) stay focused and stay right here by my side

And don't cry, please baby don't cry

I hate leaving you, but my faith is strong 'cause I believe in you

I know how men do and women too

I put you in a position to protect my best interests

Knowing that you could make me resent this

(Please baby) I know I'm always gone

Either always on the road, or always on the phone

And it kills me, cause I'd rather be at home

I can't speak my mind, so I do it with these songs

(Please baby) accept the fact that I've changed

I'm not the person that I was when we started this thing

(Please baby) believe that I know it's not a game

For this to end on crooked terms would be a shame

So I gave you a ring, and I gave you my name

Hoping you would feel repaid for the temperament and pain

And you passed every test with flying colors

And that's why motherfucker die for ya

I'm knowing other women envy you

They want their last name to be winfrey too

Go to the pen for you, go to the hole for you

And this work that you see me doing is all for you

(Please baby) just stay down like four flats

If for no other reason, I always had your back

And you should never wonder where my heart or my head's at

I said I do and knew what I was doing when I said that

For better for worse, sickness and health,

Like everyone who ever loved me, I done put you through hell

Please, baby be cautious because you have the authority

To make a bad decision and destroy me

That's what it means to love completely

I'm gonna give you what I got and if you beat me, you beat me

We seem to have it under control for now

Because we done came to damn far to turn around
