Long Way From Home

0

[Intro]
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai

[Verse 1]
Where you think you going, baby? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't be gone too long
You're right where you belong
I can tell there's something wrong, baby (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Won't pick up the phone
Now you'd rather be alone
I can't do this all on my own, baby
Said that you're confused
This ain't the life for you
Oh, word, you tryna make your move, baby (Oh, you tryna make your move)
Go 'head, do what you gotta do, baby (Go do what you gotta do)
I'll be right here when you need me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna hold you back no more
Don't you forget everything I taught ya
Money can't buy everything I taught ya
(And as the day goes by) It's only getting hardеr, baby
(Sun goes down) All I do is think of you
(Don't know why) We can't seem to work it out
(But) All I know is you don't wanna leavе me now

[Chorus]
You tried but the truth is you know better
(Hold up, wait) Hold up, wait a minute, get yourself together
(Hold up, wait) Hold up, wait a minute, let me take control
'Cause all I know is you don't wanna leave me now
You don't wanna, you don't wanna
Don't wanna leave me now
You don't wanna, you don't wanna

[Verse 2]
Saw you on the weekend, we were barely speakin' (Barely speakin')
It was always something, girl, you had your reasons (Had your reasons)
You said I been out here running wild with my dogs now
I said I been out here really tryna beat them odds now
I know you been through it, girl
I been through it, we all been through it (Hey)
This is more than you're used to, I know, but I can prove it (Hey)
Ain't nobody gon' ever do it quite like I do it
And you know that I'll be right there when you need me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna hold you back no more
Don't you forget everything I taught ya
Money can't buy everything I taught ya
(And as the day goes by) It's only getting harder, baby
(Sun goes down) All I do is think of you
(Don't know why) We can't seem to work it out
(But) All I know is you don't wanna leave me now

[Chorus]
You tried but the truth is you know better
(Hold up, wait) Hold up, wait a minute, get yourself together
(Hold up, wait) Hold up, wait a minute, let me take control
'Cause all I know is you don't wanna leave me now
You don't wanna, you don't wanna
Don't wanna leave me now
You don't wanna, you don't wanna

[Bridge]
I don't wanna hurt you, baby
I just wanna love you like I used to
You know that we need this more than ever
So you don't wanna leave me now
I don't wanna hurt you, baby
I just wanna love you like I used to
You know that we need this more than ever
So you don't wanna leave me now

[Outro]
You don't wanna, you don't wanna
Don't wanna leave me now
You don't wanna, you don't wanna
