You Before Me

(album: Layover - 2017)

Girl, there's something when you wear them shoes
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, girl, I see it in your swag and the way you move
Shawty, you be playing
I don't even mind when I'm sitting here waiting (Oh-woah)
Just thinking 'bout you while I'm sitting here waiting (Waitin')
Plus, I just got on that Jodeci lately
Stevie Wonder, none of these girls can see my baby
And she know, and she know, and she know
She the baddest thing in many places
That's, that's, that's, that's in any state
Open ride, I'm doing a hundred-five on the interstate
It's my babycakes, matter fact, that's my dinner plate

Oh-oh
Since we be gone, this'll all be so close
I give my all just to keep you here at home
Some might think it's soft, I call it "take care of home"
I just want you to be home
Ooh-ooh

Tryna get you before me
Oh, ladies first, ain't no thirst (Ooh, ladies first)
You before me (Hey)
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on (Tryna get you on, yeah)
That be why I go so hard
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on (You on, yeah)
That be why I go so hard (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on

I'm still pumping out these old-school tunes (Oh)
Got some Stevie Wonder, got a little God
Got some Kingsway tunes
Baby, everything I do is just to set the mood
(Na-na) Ayy, ayy (Na-na)
Pull up on me, me, right there, there
You ain't gon' leave, leave unhappy
We gon' do all the things that you reading 'bout
I'ma make sure that you be thanking me when you leaving now (Facts, oh)
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
Hey, I just wanna be with my baby
I just wanna, I just wanna be with my baby, yeah
I put her before me (Before me)
At all times, yeah

Since we be gone, this'll all be so close
I give my all just to keep you here at home (You at home, yeah, yeah)
Some might think it's soft, I call it "take care of home" (Home)
I just want you to be home
Ooh-ooh

Tryna get you before me (Before me, yeah, yeah)
Oh, ladies first, ain't no thirst (Ladies first)
You before me (You before me, yeah, yeah)
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That be why I go so hard
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on (Why I go so hard, tryna get you on, yeah)
That be why I go so hard (Why I go so hard)
Tryna get you on, tryna get you on (Yeah, yeah, oh-woah)

You're the reason I go (You're the—, yeah)
You're the reason (You're the—, yeah)
You're the reason (You're the reason, yeah)
You're the reason I go
I go (Yeah) I, I go (Yeah)
Yeah (Put you on, yeah)
Reason why I done pulled up in them fancy cars (In them fancy cars)
That's how it be for me (For me, for me)
It's never the other way for me
That's why I go so hard
