Text: Latif. Love In The First. Can't Let Love.
I keep tellin' myself it's all a lie
Until something made me realize
You're the best thing that happened to me
You're my pride and joy, my destiny
Girl, you know I love my music first
Don't be calling, getting on my nerves
(I ain't tryna hear it no)
'Cause what's best for me is best for her
I wanna give you, girl, what you deserve
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
After months of being out of town
I popped up in your door unannounced
Hoping that I would've seen the worst
If shorty messing 'round, getting hurt
But the outcome was so beautiful
She was cooking something in her robe
(Um hmm, it smelled so good)
She was sexy as she wanted to be
She's my baby girl, my everything
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
Maybe later we could play
Can't let love get in the way
Girl, I wish that I could stay
Gotta go, baby, I can't stay
Maybe later we could play
Can't let love get in the way
Girl, I wish that I could stay
Gotta go, baby, I can't stay
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
Baby, let me tell you something
You know what I gotta do, girl
I'm always on the road
Oh, yeah
I said, I get lonely, baby
Ooh, said I get lonely at night
I'm laying by myself
'Cause I know I gotta treat my baby right
Until something made me realize
You're the best thing that happened to me
You're my pride and joy, my destiny
Girl, you know I love my music first
Don't be calling, getting on my nerves
(I ain't tryna hear it no)
