Ain't Goin Nowhere

(album: Gotta Be Me - 2015)

If it was a secret
I couldn't keep it from you
You know as well as I do
To keep my feelings to myself, I try to
But what's the use when you know me?
You tried to show me something different
I wasn't with the roses and the ribbons
And you came and you changed me a little bit
But when you left it all felt like some bullshit
I had to pull it together
You had your reasons though
And other things in the game that I didn't even know

And even though there's a lot of shit I want to forget
All in all, yo I have no regrets
And I'm glad what we had was real
Just in case you wanted to know how I feel...

You don't have to ask me babe
You know I still care
Don't have to walk past me babe
Like I ain't there
You don't have to ask yourself
You know just how I feel
My love ain't going nowhere

Who's right, who's wrong
When the night is long
Fussing and cussing
And the fight is on
Using weapons of words
Not thinking that heaven heard us
Kind of nervous up in Sunday service
And then we make amends
And we friends again
It's only right that we stay tighter than the skin I'm in
And even if we're not together and we're miles apart
Just hearing your voice brings a smile to my heart

Now let me stop before I go too far
And start thinking of your touch
My [?] the tingle in my nuts
I want to make love still, just in case ya wanted to know how I feel

You don't have to ask me babe
You know I still care
Don't have to walk past me babe
Like I ain't there
You don't have to ask yourself
You know just how I feel
My love ain't going nowhere

No easy problem solved
It wasn't all peaches and cream
Throughout the process
I thought that I could teach you some things
Since I'm a veteran of the game
And I've been up to battle few
But I retired my jersey just to flatter you
Then shattered you with empty promises I couldn't keep
As soon as I went to sleep, you started to creep
You had your girls night out
I didn't try to regulate but I couldn't help but to speculate you're tryna catch a date

Looking back, it's all cool, just a lesson
In fact, to go through it was a blessing
And if I had the chance to do it over, I will
Just in case ya wanted to know how I feel

You don't have to ask me babe
You know I still care
Don't have to walk past me babe
Like I ain't there
You don't have to ask yourself
You know just how I feel
My love ain't going nowhere
