TOO LONG

Aw, yeah
Don't that sound good
Well, this song goes out to anybody that got somebody
Somebody they might want to hold onto
Somebody that they go home to at night
See, that's what I call a good thing
I got me a good thing too, and
You see, I don't wanna lose it
Listen

I used to hang out every night
Runnin' 'round in the clubs
Yeah, I thought I had everythin'
I thought I never needed love
That's when God sent an angel
Straight down from up above
She came and swept me off my feet
And showed me the meanin' of true love

Now my friends, yeah, they ask me
Why I don't hang like I used to
Some even laugh and call me names
Like "old man" and "party pooper"
But I found me a good thing (good thing)
And I don't care what they say (no, no)
Tell 'em when I get time, I might come through
But I can't come through to stay

Can't stay too long (can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waitin' (my girl, she waitin')
I don't wanna be foolish (oh, no, no)
Got a good thing goin' on
And I ain't tryna lose it
Can't stay too long (can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

See my girl, she at the house (oh yeah)
I know that she waitin' on me
With a big smile on her face (yeah)
Lookin' real good, smellin' real nice and sweet
She know I'm out on the road (on the road)
Doin' my music thing
She know the temptation comes (Lord knows temptation comes)
She know I'm only just a man (only just a man)

But see, I try to make the right decisions (I try)
But some women have they own intentions (oh yeah)
And you'd be surprised what some people might do
When they really want your attention
But I found me a good thing
Won't let nothin' get in my way
Tell 'em when I get time, I might come through
But I can't come through to stay

Can't stay too long (can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waitin' (my girl, she waitin')
I don't wanna be foolish (I don't wanna be foolish)
Got a good thing goin' on (I got a good thing)
And I ain't tryna lose it (I ain't tryna lose it)
Can't stay too long (can't stay too long, baby)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

Can't stay too long (can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waitin' (my girl, she waitin')
I don't wanna be foolish (I don't wanna be foolish)
Got a good thing goin' on (I got a good thing)
And I ain't tryin' to lose it (oh no)
Can't stay too long (can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

Wave ya hand
If you know you got a good thing
Somebody feel like me
Somebody got a good thing
Aw, yeah
Real, real, real, real
Real good thing
She don't have to worry
She, she don't have to worry
