[00:03.85] Yeah, this is the best part of the trip
[00:06.84] Hold on to something, hold on to something
[00:10.99] We about to take the road less traveled
[00:19.45] You ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
[00:21.16] Let's go
[00:22.33] I get lonelier each time
[00:25.80] You go away I lose my mind
[00:28.20] I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
[00:33.19] (Yeah, yeah)
[00:33.98] I get lonelier each time you go away
[00:37.33] (C'mon)
[00:38.48] So baby won't you stay with me tonight?
[00:41.62] (Yeah)
[00:42.29] Check it out
[00:43.85] There's this lady I'm in love with
[00:45.87] (Yes, there is)
[00:46.68] Living inside this woman unknown
[00:47.48] But she's scared to let it show
[00:49.06] I know it sound like some bug shit
[00:51.05] (Yeah, it do)
[00:52.23] It's just she come with
[00:53.64] Hang ups and insecurities they gotta go
[00:54.90] She always nervous around me but see this lady inside
[00:57.37] She's ready to be my baby tonight and ever since this lady found me
[01:01.75] This woman think I'm dangerous
[01:03.52] And ain't ready to put her safety aside
[01:05.52] I try to tell her that I got her back
[01:07.46] And no matter where we at, in our lives
[01:10.19] I'll treat her like she my girl
[01:11.20] I asked her "What's wrong with dat?"
[01:12.69] (What's wrong with dat?)
[01:13.65] She like "It just ain't right
[01:14.86] There's so many more women and men in the world"
[01:16.52] I have to admit the girl got a point
[01:18.39] (True)
[01:18.80] Maybe my ambition's made to make me want something
[01:21.34] I just can't have, so now it's time for me to blow this joint
[01:23.65] I still know I'm in love, I just stay focused
[01:26.31] And true to my path, word
[01:27.56] I get lonelier each time
[01:30.86] You go away I lose my mind
[01:33.47] I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
[01:38.49] (Yeah, yeah)
[01:39.27] I get lonelier each time you go away
[01:43.16] (Uh)
[01:44.04] So baby won't you stay with me tonight?
[01:48.21] (Yeah, yeah)
[01:49.14] I got to get away
[01:50.80] Ladies you ever felt growing away
[01:53.17] By your man, asking "Baby, won't you stay?"
[01:54.79] He chilling with his crew, he should be building with you
[01:56.77] He got you feeling the blues, 'cause the children to glue
[02:00.33] He willing to do whatever it takes, to save 'em
[02:03.90] From a fate he can't see when he misbehaving
[02:05.55] Brave men don't let they ladies raise they children theyself
[02:08.18] You're so busy trying to save 'em, that you you're killing yourself
[02:10.75] With the stress and strife and the fights and the advice
[02:13.95] From the ladies of the night, who can't run they own life
[02:16.33] Up in your air, nothing is fair
[02:18.00] Why do you care? Why do you always take it there?
[02:20.55] The crying, the tears, you ain't prepared for the jewels
[02:24.79] That I'm trying to share, flying there
[02:27.13] Dying inside, hot in the fear, the writing is clear on the wall
[02:28.96] For you to read the sign, ayo, the fine is the way we design
[02:30.03] To be fine but still
[02:33.55] I get lonelier each time
[02:35.52] (I get so lonely)
[02:37.48] You go away I lose my mind
[02:51.12] I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
[02:52.72] (Mm, make it right, make it right, make it right)
[02:53.92] I get lonelier each time you go away
[02:57.52] (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
[02:58.67] So baby won't you stay with me tonight?

[03:17.21] Yo, you can tell when people wanna spend they life together
[03:19.25] Despite the weather
[03:20.91] They treat each other like a treasure
[03:22.17] Can't fight forever, you got to give it up
[03:24.85] I ain't got a lot of time, we got to live it up
[03:27.44] I make my music like I make my love
[03:30.12] People use it like they take they drugs
[03:32.36] In the morning when they wakin' up
[03:33.84] This music got me out late but
[03:35.58] I holla at you when I'm done, don't stay up
[03:38.55] Will love play with us? It sting like paper cuts
[03:41.02] Doused in alcohol, but if it's real
[03:42.56] They ain't no greater rush, I got faith in us
[03:45.44] It's only you who really know me
[03:46.76] I be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
[03:49.31] So baby won't you stay
[03:51.34] (Why won't you stay?)
[03:52.86] Baby won't you stay?
