Please Baby

Yeah
Sometime, women complain about the fact that
They might get a man that don't wanna work
And then, they end up with a workaholic and
They complain about the fact they got a man who's not never at home
So I guess it's like, the gift and the curse
Or maybe you should watch what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it, uh

I need a clock with more hours, a calendar with more days
To compensate for spending so much time away
It drives me insane when I'm signing autographs
And she sends me pictures of my daughter in the bath

And I miss that, because I wish I was there
Who wins? The player or the square, call it in the air
I'm just not your nine-to-five, suit and tie, clock punching type of guy
But we both knew that

Please baby, believe me when I tell you it's true
That I'm not thinking 'bout any other woman but you
That's why I do what I do and keep it moving
My love is perpetual and forever be improving

I send you shopping with the babies and buy you things
To compensate for the time with furniture and rings
Like to say that I'ma stop, but that'll be a lie
I just need you by my side and believe me when I say

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh

I hate leaving you, but my faith is strong 'cause I believe in you
I know how men do and women too
I put you in a position to protect my best interests
Knowing that you could make me resent this

Please, baby, I know I'm always gone
Either always on the road, or always on the phone
And it kills me, cause I'd rather be at home
Can't speak my mind, so I do it with these songs

Please, baby, accept the fact that I've changed
I'm not the person that I was when we started this thing
Please, baby, believe that I know it's not a game
For this to end on crooked terms would be a shame

So I gave you a ring, and I gave you my name
Hoping you would feel repaid for the temperament and pain
And you passed every test with flying colors
And that's why motherfucker die for ya

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh

I'm knowing other women envy you
They want their last name to be Winfrey too
Go to the pen for you, go to the hole for you
And this work that you see me doing is all for you

Please, baby, just stay down like four flats
If for no other reason, I always had your back
And you should never wonder where my heart or my head's at
I said, "I do" and knew what I was doing when I said that

For better, for worse, sickness and health
Like everyone who ever loved me, I done put you through hell
Please, baby, be cautious because you have the authority
To make a bad decision and destroy me

That's what it means to love completely
I'ma give you what I got and if you beat me, you beat me
We seem to have it under control for now
'Cause we done, came too damn far to turn around, uh

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh

Please, baby, understand that there is no perfect man
Lil' momma, I promise I'm doing the best that I can
Please, baby, stay focused and stay right here by my side
And don't cry, please baby, don't cry uh-uh
