The G Spot CD
Gerald Levert
Uhh oh yea
well well well well well well well
uhh oh baby

oh huh
Just got laid off from work today
I cant go home
What am I gonna say
Guess Ill go to the local bar toss up a few
Tell the bartender what Im going thru
He said if you got a good woman
She gon catch you when you fall
So instead of giving me an earful
heres a quarter you need to call her
So here I am baby
If tonight I cry (oh baby)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (oh baby)
Girl you are my backbone (my backbone)
And Im falling apart
My little boy birthday is coming (yeah)
And he want that playstation too (yes he do)
What am I gonna tell him
Gotta save cause the rent is due the rent is due
You say youll get another job (yes you do girl)
But I wont put you thru that
Just hold me close tonight
Say everything will be alright
I just need to know I need to know you got my back
So If tonight I cry (oh I cry)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (my shoulder)
Girl you are my backbone my backbone
And Im falling apart
Girl I know its really messed up
I think the Lord is trying to test us (yes he is)
Better half never meant so much to me
Like any real man
I want my family to have everything and anything
But Im struggling to get on my feet
If tonight I cry oh baby
I need you to be strong baby
Girl youre my shoulder
Baby youre my backbone my backbone
And this man is falling apart (ooh)
I dont wanna cry (ooh) so I need you to be strong
For the kids and the family
Cant letem see us down
Cause you know they gon kick ya
when ya down and out (backbone backbone)
See nobody wants you nobody even cares

If tonight If tonight If tonight If tonight I cry
Baby wont you be strong ooh ooh
Cause you are, will you be, you need to be, you gotta be my shoulder
