[
verse 1]
[Wyclef:]
Excuse me, if you see me screamin' but,
deep in my mind, I'm only dreamin'
cuz if I wake girl, and your not by my side
I'd feel half me, is no longer alive
so please shorty, before you walk out that door bovie,
would you listen to my song
[Claudette:]
if only, I give you one last chance
with the devil, you can no longer pray
you got to be faithful, so we can be proveful
build a family, and follow GOD's destiny
so just before I run to the block, I might listen to your song
[Wyclef:]
Ooh, before you walk out the door, listen
[chorus1]
[Wyclef(Claudette):]
they say two wrongs don't make it right(don't make it right)
so if I'm wrong I ain't tyrin' to fight (chorus2&3 i don't wanna fight)
I'm tryin' to have some dinner with candlelight(yeeah)
lay up in the bed and make love all night [chorus3(make love to me)]
so papi I won't leave maybe I'll just stay
but promise me that you'll do the same
girl I'ma love ya love ya like I never loved
(touch me like you never touch me)
yo if you give me the chance girl
(yeah baby)
I'm gonna show you
[verse2]
[Claudette(Wyclef):]
I'm gonna say(I understand)
that I forgive you
and I ain't gonna for get
that you brought me(baby,baby,baby)
[Wyclef:]
but I have grown
from a thug to a man
build my castle with bricks
and no longer with sand
oh girl
[Claudette:]
and just, before I run to the block, baby
I might listen to your song
[Wyclef:]
Ooh, before you walk out that door, listen
[chorus2]
[bridge]
[claudette:]
I'm so used to the pain that I
can't see the sunshine no more
I'm so used to the pain that the
the sickness feels like the cure
[Wyclef(Claudette):]
Ay, but if only you gave me
the keys to your soul
and let me in
I'm gonna love you
over (over), and over (over) again
[chorus3]
[Wyclef(Claudette)]
(show me, yeahhh)
I won't stay around the block no more
I'll come home early girl I promise
