Where would I be without you, baby?
So if ya need me, if ya want me to put it on you
Because I love ya yeah, and don't you forget it
Whenever you need me, if you want me to put it on you, c'mon

Ooh and darlin', where would I be?
(Yeah, Vita Ja Rule)
(Where would I be without you?)
Be, be without you

Where would I be without my baby?
The thought alone might break me
And I don't wanna go crazy
But every thug needs a lady

Girl, it feel like you and I bein' born in together
Inseparable, you chose pain over pleasure
For that you'll forever be a part of me
Mind body and soul ain't no I in we, baby

When you cry who wipes your tears?
When you scared who's tellin' you there's nothin' to fear?
Girl, I'll always be there when you need shoulder to lean on
Never hesitate knowin' you can call on

Your soul mate and vice versa that's why I'll be the first to
See Jacob frost your wrists up
Now ya own me, I know you're tired of being lonely
So baby girl, put it on me

What would I be without you?
(What would I be without you?)
I only think about you, yeah
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(Need someone to hold me)
So baby girl put it on me
(I will, I will, I will)

What would I be without you?
(What'd I be without you?)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(So I need you to hold me)
So baby girl put it on me
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

And I appreciate the rocks and gifts that you cop me, baby
And the house on the hill when you dropped like 80
On a down payment thinkin' damn ain't life gravy
And ever since for my honey, I've been twice the lady

What would I do without the nights that you kept me warm?
When this cold world had a girl caught in the storm
And I except who you with when you caught in the wrong
And respect when you flip 'cause our love is strong

And when you hit the block I watch for 10-4's
And when my pop's was sleep you snuck in the back door
Baby boy, we've been down since junior high
So when life gets hot in July it's the world against you and I

Be ballin' tied together and never
Part from the heart knew that it would last forever
When you told me, you would never leave me lonely
So baby boy, put it on me

What would I be without you?
(What would I be without you?)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(I need someone to hold me)
So baby girl put it on me
(I will, I will, I will)

What would I be without you?
(What'd I be without you?)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(Yes, I need you to hold me)
So baby girl put it on me
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Since we met it's been you and I
A tear for a tear baby, I won't cry
And you know that my heart don't lie
If you leave me lonely 'cause you not just my love you my homie

Who's gonna console me, my love?
I'm outta control hold me, my love 'cause I'm yours
And I don't wanna do nothin' to hurt my baby girl
If this was our world it'd be all yours

Baby
A thought alone might break me
And I don't wanna go crazy
'Cause every thug needs a lady

Feelin' you baby 'cause them eyes ain't lyin'
Wash away all them tears there'll be no more cryin', baby
And you complete me and I would die if you ain't with me
So baby girl, put it on me c'mon

What would I be without you?
(What would I be without you?)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(Need someone to hold me)
So baby girl put it on me
(I will, I will, I will)

What would I be without you?
(What'd I be without you?)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(So I need you to hold me)
So baby girl, put it on me
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

What would I be without you?
(Yeah, yeah)
I only think about you
(Oh, what you're sayin' is true)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(I need you to hold me)
So baby girl, put it on me
(Hold me, hold me)

What would I be without you?
(What'd I be without you?)
I only think about you
(I think about you too)

I know you're tired of bein' lonely
(Give some, some time)
So baby girl, put it on me
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

Where would I be if it weren't for you, baby?
'Cause I'm so tired of bein' lonely
Where, where would I be if it weren't' for you, you, you, you?
'Cause I'm so tired of bein' lonely, yeah c'mon
Don't you know that I love ya? I need ya, I want ya
