Without You

Frankie J. · The One [2005]

It feels like yesterday that you were lying here wit me.

I still hear you say... OOO Yea,

I love the way you say OOO Yea.

But now it's just a memory.

Now I'm knowing that it was my fault

By thinking I could brush it off.

You always with my saying... OOO Yea.

So what it's 5 a.m when I'm checking in when I check in.



Chorus:

Baby I was thinking, I'm so slick.

Knowing that I've done you wrong

But you never know what you've got

Til what you've got is gone.



Got to try and make it through without you

And there's nothing I can do.

Come on home baby (repeat)



I remember coming home that night

Knowing something wasn't right.

I was saying... OOO Yea

I'm sure that all her things are package

And it's just too late to get her back.

Didn't even have to read the note

Just to know that your heart was broke.

I was thinking... OOO Yea

You had more than you can stand.

I should have been a better man.



Chorus:

Baby I was thinking, I'm so slick.

Girl I was doing you so wrong

But you never know what you've got

Til what you've got is gone.



I'm so sorry for the things I've done.

I should have put you number one

But I've been playing myself

Cause I know that you're all I want

But if you give me one more chance

I'll break it down for you lady.

No more playing around.

Baby I want to be there for you.

Gonna make it through
