Don't Gotta Go Home (feat. DMX)

Monica

Compositor: Earl Simmons, Ryan Bowser, Antoine Macon

Ain't no sense whinin' about it now
I mean, we knew what it was
When we became a part of it, feel me? Uh
Yeah, it's like

There's something on your mind
I can see right through you
I know your girl been treatin' you wrong
But she ain't no good for you
Why do you hold it inside?
Boy, you should let me know
I just wanna make you right
Wanna be the one you can cry on

Baby, it's like, I love my wife
We goin' through things, and I ain't goin' home tonight
I ain't got time for a nigga, or is he still with you?
Wanna meet at the same spot, or should I come get you?
Alright, I'll be there in ten, be in the front
I've been gettin' what I need, so I'ma give you what you want
One on one, 'cause you know how to talk to a dawg
You walk the dawg, and understand New York is hard

Showin' you you ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (I ain't goin nowhere)
(When you wake up, I'm gonna be right there)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (I ain't worried 'bout shit)
You're here with me (look, it's like, I love my wife)
(We goin' through things, and I ain't goin' home tonight, alright?)

It's kinda strange
When you call, she is 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'

Damn, you got me fucked up and I'm feelin' it more
Never had a mistress distressed before
Come on, ma', like, it ain't that deep
Like, there ain't no love there
Like, I don't hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each other's arms (yeah)
And I feel like this is where I belong
And if lovin' you is right, then I ain't wrong
This is the same old song: Wife and fam'
Gotta be a father and husband, but I'm still your man, baby

You ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me, stay with me (I ain't goin' nowhere)
(When you wake up, I'm gonna be right there)
Oh, I, don't you worry 'bout a thing (I ain't worried 'bout shit)
You're here with me (uh, it's like, I love my wife)
(We goin' through things, and I ain't goin' home tonight, alright?)

This situation is getting critical (uh-huh)
I watch so many tears fall (uh-huh)
I know she's not what you want
So, why you keep holdin' on, when I'm right here?
(What?) All you need to do is call (what?)
Don't be afraid, 'cause she won't know it, oh

You ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me (stay with me, stay with me)
(I ain't goin' nowhere, when you wake up, I'm gonna be right there)
Oh, I, don't you worry 'bout a thing, no, no (I ain't worried 'bout shit)
You're here with me, you're here with me, here with me (uh, it's like, I love my wife)
(We goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight, alright?)

You ain't gotta go home tonight, no
You can stay right here with me, stay right here with me
(I ain't goin' nowhere, when you wake up, I'm gonna be right there, yeah)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (I ain't worried about shit)
You're here with me, you're here with me (look, it's like, I love my wife)
(We goin' through things, and I ain't goin' home tonight, alright?) Stay with me
