(feat. Tyrese)

[Chorus]

Every time I try to leave
Somethin keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

Every time I try to go
Somethin keeps tellin me that, me that
Everything gon be alright

Every time I try to leave
Something keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

It was meant to be
You were meant for me
So that means we gotta make it work


[Verse 1]
It was all good at first,

Spendin money, goin shoppin
Eatin at the finest restaurants
And then from club hoppin

She was right there with me bottle poppin livin that life
She just didn't understand my lifestyle and that i ain't like
We didn't have a worry in the world, got u diamonds got u pearls

Cut can't help it if Ching-A-Ling been attracting all the girls
Baby I'm a superstar and that come wit it
You got a good ^!$$% on the side, u betta run wit it,

Even though I'm on tha road doin shows,
I make time for me n her, relationship to grow
They tell me don't trust a woman in this industry

But she not any woman, more like a sacred friend to me
Plus, when I'm outta town, always think of her
May conversate with some chicks, but no one come above her,

(Uh)I thought i was your man
Guess u ain't understand,
N now I'm sittin herre, lookin crazy like

Damn!

[Chorus]

Every time I try to leave
Somethin keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

Every time I try to go
Somethin keeps tellin me that, me that
Everything gon be alright

Every time I try to leave
Something keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

It was meant to be,
You were meant for me,
So that means we gotta make it work



[Verse 2]

Walkin to house from hard work, my head hurts,
Instead of arguin, can i have dinner with some dessert (uh uh)
She talkin 'bout this phone number she found,

Hey, give me time to put my bags down,
She's straight up, clowned
Before we end up fightin, let me leave,

I'm exhausted and this hurr, I don't need
Now I'm wit the fellas ridin n drinkin
She's blowin my two way up but I need some time for thinkin(Yeah)

I wanna go back, but something sayin naaaw
Give her some space and the next day I might call
What should I do

Look, let me ask ya'll
Should I stay and talk, or let this relationship fall
I ain't down on havin' my feelings crushed

But it happens some time
It's either love it or give it up
I thought I was your man

Guess u ain't understand
N now I'm sittin' herre lookin crazy like
Damn!


[Chorus]
Every time I try to leave
Somethin keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

Every time I try to go
Somethin keeps tellin me that, me that
Everything gon be alright
Every time I try to leave
Something keeps pullin me back, me back

Telling me I need u in my life
It was meant to be,
You were meant for me,
So that means we gotta make it work



[Verse 3]
All the fellas know u feel me, if u eva had a woman,
Good times led to bad times n u ain't see it coming,
Try the best to make her happy,

But it wasn't enough,
Cuz mamma told me in relationship to roll ya bluff
N i don't wanna have my head down
Weak n stressed out
As bad as it hurts i gotta move to the next round
(Uh) I thought i was her man

Guess she ain't understand
N now she's sittin' herre lookin crazy like
Damn!

[Chorus]
Every time I try to leave
Somethin keeps pullin me back, me back

Telling me I need u in my life
Every time I try to go
Somethin keeps tellin me that, me that
Everything gon be alright
Every time I try to leave
Something keeps pullin me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life

It was meant to be,
You were meant for me,
So that means we gotta make it work
