Umm, oh, yeah Well, well, well, well Well, well, well, well Umm, oh baby Listen to me 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 to the bartender what I'm goin' through He say if you got a good woman She gon' catch you when you fall So instead of givin' me an earfull Here's a quarter, you need to call her So here I am, baby If tonight I cry I need you to be strong Will you be my shoulder Girl you are my backbone, my backbone And I'm falling apart My little boy's birthday is coming, yeah And he want that PlayStation II, yes he do What am I gonna tell him Gotta save 'cause the rent is due, the rent is due You say you get another job, yes you do girl But I won't put you through that Just hold me close tonight Say everyting'll be alright I just need to know I need to know you got my back, so If tonight I cry I need you to be strong Will you be my shoulder Girl you are my backbone, my backbone And I'm falling apart Girl I know this is really messed up I think the Lord is tryna test us, yes he is But I have 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 I need you to be strong Will you be my shoulder Girl you are my backbone, my backbone And I'm falling apart I don't want to cry So I need you to be strong For the kids and the family Can't let 'em see us down 'cause yo know they gon' kick ya (Backbone, backbone) When you're down and out See nobody wants ya Nobody even cares If tonight I cry I need you to be strong Will you be my shoulder Girl you are my backbone, my backbone And I'm falling apart
