Seven Years
It's been 7 years down the road
I got no more tears in me left to flow
When I did my baby wrong
She left me lonely for so long
Now I'm out here all alone
Lord won't you please bring my baby home (5x)
It go one for the treble two for the bass
Used to mess with this girl way back in the day
She was from the PJs
And she went both ways
Yeah the girl was a freak
I used to call her Monique
And before I even speak about knockin the boots
I say her name been changed to avoid law suits
So now we gettin' down to the nitty and the gritty
She brought her friend 'round and damn she was pretty
But Betty was twisted
Said her number was listed
Grabbed my love two fisted
Hugged it and kissed it
They say one in the hand is worth two in the bush
But when shove came to push
Yo I hard my own theory
World Series of love
It's 2 on 1
'Til I got caught with the smoking gun
????? came home and she bursted in
Now I'm looking for my heart like I'm made from tin
The road that I travel ain't got yellow bricks
My old woman thinks that all men are pricks
And she flipped the scripts
Went lip to lip
Every time I think about it I just lose my grip
Cause I've been up and I've been down
I've been fast and I've been slow
I've been square and I've been round
I've been high and I've been low
I've been cool and I've been calm
I've been kind and I've been crass
I held the whole world right in my palm
I tried to spread it around but it sure went fast
Lord won't you please bring my baby home
Lord won't you please bring my baby home
Bring my baby home
Seven years sure done gone by
I got no more tears in me left to cry
When I did my sugar bad
I lost the best thing I ever had
Now I'm out here on my own
Lord won't you please bring my baby home (5x)
Bring my baby home
