Keep You Much Longer
Akon · Freedom [2008]
[Chorus]:
Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go, cause you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me, girl like I was to you
Wish I could stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could just stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
[Verse 1]:
The tables have turned, and I've finally learned
That this is makin'-up for every day I was gone
And that's why I'm concerned, but now it's confirmed
That you spread your wings, and learned to fly all alone
[Hook]:
Darkness in the night, I'll find that light for you
As long as I got eyes, I'll have a sight for you
As long as I'm alive, baby I'll die for you
Wanna be with you
[Chorus]:
Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go, cause you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me, girl like I was to you
Wish I could stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could just stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
[Verse 2]:
You're always on my mind,
While I'm racin', while I'm paper chasin',
You were there when I said one day I get up out that basement
Playin as my agent, for you there's no replacement
You will always be my girl, and you can hold me on that statement
[Hook]:
Darkness in the night, I'll find that light for you
As long as I got eyes, I'll have a sight for you
As long as I'm alive, baby I'll die for you
Wanna be with you
[Chorus]:
Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go, cause you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me, girl like I was to you
Wish I could stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could just stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
[Verse 3]:
Baby I know you, and how we do
Doing exactly what I taught you
Gotta get that money first before you
Come spend that precious time with your boo
And I know I gotta just take it
Even though it's driving me crazy
Always want to see my girl make it, but lately
[Chorus (x2)]
Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go, cause you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me, girl like I was to you
Wish I could stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could just stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go, cause you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me, girl like I was to you
Wish I could stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
Wish I could just stop by, and maybe say hi
Wish I could just stop by, and lay by your side
