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, it's like

[Monica]
There's somethin on your mind, I can see right through you
I know your girl been treatin you wrong, she ain't 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, it's like, I love my wife
But we're goin through things, and I ain't 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 I'ma 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 ain't gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I ain't goin nowhere, when you wake up I'ma be right here
[Monica] Don't you worry about a thing, you're here with me
[DMX] It's like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I ain't goin home tonight, aight?

[Monica]
It's kinda strange that when you call, she's never home
Now you're there, all alone, and you deserve so much more
Baby, I can treat you better than she can
It doesn't 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 I'm feelin it more
Never had a mis-tress, this stress be-fore
Aw, come on ma, like it ain't that deep
Like ain't no love there, like I don't hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each other's arms
And I feel like this is where I belong
If lovin you is right then I ain't wrong
But it's the same old song, wife and fam
Gotta be a father and husband, but I'm still your man, baby

[Monica] You ain't gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I ain't goin nowhere, when you wake up I'ma be right here
[Monica] Don't you worry about a thing, you're here with me
[DMX] It's like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I ain't goin home tonight, aight?

[Monica]
The situation is gettin critical, I watch so many tears fall
I know she's not what you want, so why you keep on holdin on?
When I'm right here, all you need to do is call
Don't be afraid, cause she won't know at all

[Monica] You ain't gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I ain't goin nowhere, when you wake up I'ma be right here
[Monica] Don't you worry about a thing, you're here with me
[DMX] It's like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I ain't goin home tonight, aight?
[Monica] You ain't gotta go home tonight, you can stay right here with me
[DMX] I ain't goin nowhere, when you wake up I'ma be right here
[Monica] Don't you worry about a thing, you're here with me
[DMX] It's like I love my wife, but we goin through things and I ain't goin home tonight, aight?
[Monica] Ooohh, stay with me...
