About Be with Me

"Be with Me" is the debut single co-written and performed by R&B singer J. Holiday released off of his debut album Back of My Lac'. It was to be released early 2007, following the single. However, due to the single failing to top the charts peaking at #83 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and completely missing the Billboard Hot 100 all together, the album was pushed back to an unspecified fall release date, until finally being released October 2, 2007, following the success of his second single titled "Bed". The single's promotion fell through due to the merging of Capitol & Virgin Records; LeToya Luckett, Mims, Cherish, and Chingy had cancelled third singles, and Chingy was let go from the label, while J. Holiday's promotion for the song was also canceled.

Yo, look I know we been, been friends for a minute
And I think it's time we trust the situation
I know how you feel, you know how I feel
But I just wanna put it out there

I gotta say you're a hell of a woman
Like a new drop in the summer
Pull me over the weather when I'm under
Did you know you do that for me?

And I wonder sometimes
Why you be takin' your time
I, I know it's gon be right
Girl, I put that on my life

You be givin' me the coldest shoulder
'Coz you don't want your emotions takin' over
Instead of talkin' 'bout you lookin' for a soldier
Are you tryna say you don't see that in me?

I know that we're friends
But taken it there won't mess it up
Please just trust in me
Girl, I got you, can't you see?

Ooh, ooh, baby girl, it's killin' me
Why you tryna act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see?
You should be with, you should be with me

It's your heart but before you give it to someone
Someone who don't deserve it
Just don't hurt it, baby
You should be with me

Like a scene from my favorite movie
Hard to control myself when you next to me
If it's against the law to love, you sue me
Girl, this whole thing got me in disbelief

I know it takes time
To build somethin' that's worthwhile
But just in case you didn't hear me
I'ma say it again more clearly

I need ya like a bed need some covers
I need ya, baby, we need each other
Girl, I need ya like a comedian needs a joke
I need ya baby, I need you the most
Baby, my heart's beatin', can't you hear it?
If I'm the music, you're my lyrics

Ooh, ooh, baby girl, it's killin' me
Why you tryna act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see?
You should be with, you should be with me

It's your heart but before you give it to someone
Someone who don't deserve it
Just don't hurt it, baby
You should be with me

I know you're lookin' out for you
But you gotta understand
That I'm lookin' out for us too
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So, baby, you should just give me your heart
And I swear I won't tear it apart, no

Ooh, ooh, baby girl, it's killin' me
Why you tryna act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see?
You should be with, you should be with me

It's your heart but before you give it to someone
Someone who don't deserve it
Just don't hurt it, baby
You should be with me

Baby girl, it's killin' me
Why you tryna act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see?
You should be with, you should be with me

It's your heart but before you give it to someone
Someone who don't deserve it
Just don't hurt it, baby
You should be with me

Baby girl, it's killin' me
Why you tryna act like you don't
Like you don't see what I see?
You should be with, you should be with me

It's your heart but before you give it to someone
Someone who don't deserve it
Just don't hurt it, baby
You should be with me
