Uhh oh yea
well well well well well well well
uhh oh baby
listen to me
oh huh
Just got laid off from work today
I can€™t go home
What am I gonna say
Guess I€™ll go to the local bar toss up a few
Tell the bartender what I€™m going thru
He said if you got a good woman
She gon catch you when you fall
So instead of giving me an earful
here€™s a quarter you need to call her
So here I am baby

If tonight I cry (oh baby)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (oh baby)
Girl you are my backbone (my backbone)
And I€™m falling apart

My little boy birthday is coming (yeah)
And he want that playstation too (yes he do)
What am I gonna tell him
Gotta save cause the rent is due the rent is due
You say you€™ll get another job (yes you do girl)
But I won€™t put you thru that
Just hold me close tonight
Say everything will be alright
I just need to know I need to know you got my back

So If tonight I cry (oh I cry)
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder (my shoulder)
Girl you are my backbone my backbone
And I€™m falling apart

Girl I know it€™s really messed up
I think the Lord is trying to test us (yes he is)
Better half never meant so much to me
Like any real man
I want my family to have everything and anything
But I€™m struggling to get on my feet

If tonight I cry oh baby
I need you to be strong baby
Girl you€™re my shoulder
Baby you€™re my backbone my backbone
And this man is falling apart (ooh)

I don€™t wanna cry (ooh) so I need you to be strong
For the kids and the family
Can€™t let€™em see us down
Cause you know they gon kick ya
when ya down and out (backbone backbone)
See nobody wants you nobody even cares

(If tonight I cry)

If tonight If tonight If tonight If tonight I cry
Baby wont you be strong ooh ooh
Cause you are, will you be, you need to be, you gotta be my shoulder
