[DMX]
Grrrrrrrr... yo, I mean, we all men
We knew how this shit go, love one, fuck another
I mean, it is what it is, it is what it is, I mean
We knew what it was when we became a part of it
No sense in whining about it now, feel me, its like

[Monica]
Theres somethin on your mind, I can see right through you
I know your girl been treatin you wrong, she aint no good for you
Why do you hold it inside? Boy you should let me know
I just wanna make it right, wanna be the one you can cry on

[DMX]
Baby, its like, I love my wife
But were goin through things, and I aint goin home tonight
You got time for a nigga, or is he still with you?
Wanna meet at the same spot, or, should I come and get you?
Aiight, I be there at ten, be in the front
I been gettin what I need, so Ima give you what you want
One-on-one, cause you know how to talk the dog
You walk the dog, and understand New York is hard, baby

[Monica] You aint gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I aint goin nowhere, when you wake up Ima be right here
[Monica] Dont you worry about a thing, youre here with me
[DMX] Its like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I aint goin home tonight, aight?

[Monica]
Its kinda strange that when you call, shes never home
Now youre there, all alone, and you deserve so much more
Baby, I can treat you better than she can
It doesnt make sense to keep on lovin, and keep on trustin
When in return, all you get is nothin

[DMX]
Damn, got me fucked up, and Im feelin it more
Never had a mis-tress, this stress be-fore
Aw, come on ma, like it aint that deep
Like aint no love there, like I dont hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each others arms
And I feel like this is where I belong
If lovin you is right then I aint wrong
But its the same old song, wife and fam
Gotta be a father and husband, but Im still your man, baby

[Monica] You aint gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I aint goin nowhere, when you wake up Ima be right here
[Monica] Dont you worry about a thing, youre here with me
[DMX] Its like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I aint goin home tonight, aight?

[Monica]
The situation is gettin critical, I watch so many tears fall
I know shes not what you want, so why you keep on holdin on?
When Im right here, all you need to do is call
Dont be afraid, cause she wont know at all

[Monica] You aint gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I aint goin nowhere, when you wake up Ima be right here
[Monica] Dont you worry about a thing, youre here with me
[DMX] Its like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I aint goin home tonight, aight?
[Monica] You aint gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I aint goin nowhere, when you wake up Ima be right here
[Monica] Dont you worry about a thing, youre here with me
[DMX] Its like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I aint goin home tonight, aight?
[Monica] Ooohh, stay with me...
