Said, we gotta make it work, baby
And now I'm sittin' here, lookin' crazy like damn
It was all good at first, spendin' money, goin' shoppin'
Every time I try to leave
Gotta good nigga on your side, you betta run wit it
Every time I try to go
Everything gon' be all right
Tellin' me I need you in my life
Every time I try to leave
Every time I try to leave
Every time I try to go
She blowin' my two-way up but I need some time for thinkin'
They tell me don't trust a woman in this industry
Every time I try to leave
Might conversate wit some chicks but no one come above hurr
I thought I was ya man, guess you ain't understand
'Cuz Mama told me in relationships, the road get rough
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
Tellin' me I need you in my life
Eatin' at the finest restaurants and if I'm club hoppin'
And now she sittin' thurr, lookin' crazy like damn
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
So that means we gotta make it work
Everything gon' be all right
Instead of arguin', can I have dinner wit some dessert? Uh uh
Every time I try to leave
She was right thurr wit me, bottle poppin', livin' that life
Something keeps tellin' me that, me that
And now I'm sittin' here, lookin' crazy like damn
I'm exhausted and this here, I don't need
Something keeps tellin' me that, me that
Say what? Baby, I'ma superstar and that come wit it
Something keeps tellin' me that, me that
Good times led to bad times and you ain't see it comin'
Before we end up fightin', let me leave
Every time I try to go
Every time I try to leave
It was meant to be, you were meant for me
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
Now I'm wit the fellaz, ridin' and drinkin'
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
I made time for me and hurr, relationship to grow
Should I stand tall or let this relationship fall?
But it happens sometimes, either love it or give it up
Tellin' me I need you in my life
I thought I was her man, guess she ain't understand
Tellin' me I need you in my life
Everything gon' be all right
So that means we gotta make it work
I ain't down wit havin' my feelings crushed
Even though I'm on the road doin' shows
Walk in the house wit hard work, my head hurt
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
Lemme give her some space and the next day, I might call
But I can't help it if Chinga-ling be attractin' all the girls
It was meant to be, you were meant for me
As bad as it hurts, I gotta move to the next route, yes
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
We didn't have a worry in the world, gotcha diamonds, gotcha pearls
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
It was meant to be, you were meant for me
It was meant to be, you were meant for me
Every time I try to leave
'Cuz when I'm outta town, always think of hurr
She just didn't understand my lifestyle and that I ain't like
Everything gon' be all right
But she not any woman, more like a sacred friend to me
Every time I try to go

Ain't gimme time to put my bags down, she straight up clownin'
And I ain't the one to have my head down, weepin', stressed out
To all the fellaz, know you feel me, you ever had a woman
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
Tellin' me I need you in my life
Tellin' me I need you in my life
What should I do? Look, lemme ask y'all
Tellin' me I need you in my life
Every time I try to leave
Tried your best to make her happy but it wasn't enough
So that means we gotta make it work
Something keeps tellin' me that, me that
So that means we gotta make it work
Yeah, I wanna go back, but sumthin' sayin' naw
She talkin' 'bout this phone number she found
I thought I was your man, guess you ain't understand
Tellin' me I need you in my life
