I used to pride myself on being the other man 
But now it's flipped and I don't want you with no other man 
Why can't you understand anything I'm offering
I gave you the world, but you just wanted arguing 
From the time I picked you up, until the time I dropped you off again 
Even if flipped out on me at the mall again 
"It's all his fault again" that's what you telling all ya friends 
I ain't pointing no fingers ma, I just want to call again 
See how ya day going, I know they stressing on ya I know them times 
Get hard that's why I'm checking on ya 
It's yours truly ma, I got little message for ya anything he can do, 
Girl I can do better for ya Cause 

Cause When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather
We goin' still be as one it's forever, it's forever 

Won't you come on and go with me (oh girl) Come on over to my place 
Won't you sit ya self down and take a seat and let me ease ya mind girl 
We gon' do it our way (our way) 

I heard your friend tell a friend that told a friend of mine 
That you was thinking that we should do it one more time 
This ain't the truth then hopefully it's not a lie 
Cause I ain't got no issue with hitting that another time 
We never had a problem with getting it done 
Disagreed upon a lot ma, but the sex wouldn't one 
Now check it I know you get excited when I come around and bite it 
Quit frowning up and quit acting like you don't like it 
I like it (I know you like), I like it (You really like it), 
I really, really like it, I want it (You really want it), adore it (adore it)
So come let me enjoy it
So come let me enjoy it

Cause When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather
We goin' still be as one it's forever, it's forever 

Won't you come on and go with me (oh girl) Come on over to my place 
Won't you sit ya self down and take a seat and let me ease ya mind girl 
We gon do it our way (our way) 

Shawty where you been 
Feels like a long time, long long time since I seen ya 
Yes it has girl, 
And I know I said some dumb things to you before 
But girl you know I didn't mean it 
I didn't mean one single word I never meant one single word 
(I didn't mean one single word, I didn't mean one single word) 
If I could take back every word I would and 
more for sure If I thought that you believe it 
Cause you make my life so convenient for me 

Cause When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather
We goin' still be as one it's forever, it's forever 

Won't you come on and go with me (oh girl) Come on over to my place 
Won't you sit ya self down and take a seat and let me ease ya mind girl 
We gon do it our way (our way) 

I like it (I know you like), I like it (You really like it)
I really, really like it, 
I want it (You really want it), adore it (adore it)
so come let me enjoy it

I like it (I know you like), I like it (You really like it)
I really, really like it, 
I want it (You really want it), adore it (adore it)

Cause When we laugh or we cry it's together
Through the rain and the stormiest weather
We goin' still be as one it's forever, it's forever
