Gerald Levert
Uhh oh yea
well well well well well well well
uhh oh baby
listen to me
oh huh
Just got laid off from work today
I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t go home
What am I gonna say
Guess Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll go to the local bar toss up a few
Tell the bartender what Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m going thru
He said if you got a good woman
She gon catch you when you fall
So instead of giving me an earful
hereâ"š¬â"ž¢s a quarter you need to call her
So here I am baby
If tonight I cry (oh baby)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (oh baby)
Girl you are my backbone (my backbone)
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m falling apart
My little boy birthday is coming (yeah)
And he want that playstation too (yes he do)
What am I gonna tell him
Gotta save cause the rent is due the rent is due
You say youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll get another job (yes you do girl)
But I wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t put you thru that
Just hold me close tonight
Say everything will be alright
I just need to know I need to know you got my back
So If tonight I cry (oh I cry)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (my shoulder)
Girl you are my backbone my backbone
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m falling apart
Girl I know itâ"š¬â"ž¢s really messed up
I think the Lord is trying to test us (yes he is)
Better half never meant so much to me
Like any real man
I want my family to have everything and anything
But Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m struggling to get on my feet
If tonight I cry oh baby
I need you to be strong baby
Girl youâ"š¬â"ž¢re my shoulder
Baby youâ"š¬â"ž¢re my backbone my backbone
And this man is falling apart (ooh)
I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t wanna cry (ooh) so I need you to be strong
For the kids and the family
Canâ"š¬â"ž¢t letâ"š¬â"ž¢em see us down
Cause you know they gon kick ya
when ya down and out (backbone backbone)
See nobody wants you nobody even cares
(If tonight I cry)
If tonight If tonight If tonight If tonight I cry

Cause you are, will you be, you need to be, you gotta be my shoulder
