What you doin', Papa?
Hi
No, uh-uh, say hi
Hi
Don't you know I'm no good for you?
I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
But nothin' ever stops you leavin'
Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (like it like that)
I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
In three days, you'd meet Papa (like it like that, mm)
The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The ravin', the pacing
The praying, the shaking
I must admit, I was breaking
I must admit, I was taking
I must admit, my heart was racing
Telephone ring
He didn't make it
I just believed you wakin'
A memory in the makin'
Call me
Won't you call me? (Call)
No, you gone
Are you gone already? (Don't you know too much already?)
I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
And I'll call you when the party's over
Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
So deal, Nika
Yes real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Don't stress, Onika
So blessed, Onika (like it like that)
Today, it's 12-3-23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Your baby's three
He's the best, Onika (like it like that)
Set me, set me, set me free
Why didn't you come back to get me?
Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
Why would anyone want to love me?
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
You've already made your peace with me
One day you'll have to forgive Mommy
But she knows you know too much already
I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
And I'll call you when the party's over
Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
Nothin' is better sometimes
Once we've both said our goodbyes
Let's just let it go
Let me let you go
Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
