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 can't go home
What am I gonna say

Guess I'll go to the local bar toss up a few
Tell the bartender what I'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
here'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 I'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 you'll get another job (yes you do girl)
But I won'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 I'm falling apart


Girl I know it'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 I'm struggling to get on my feet


If tonight I cry oh baby
I need you to be strong baby

Girl you're my shoulder
Baby you're my backbone my backbone
And this man is falling apart (ooh)


I don't wanna cry (ooh) so I need you to be strong
For the kids and the family

Can't let'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
Baby wont you be strong ooh ooh

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