Go to Bed Mad

Monica · After the Storm

{CHORUS}
I think you're wrong,
You think you're right,
And all that equals up to is a fight,
Lets compromise,
Before we go to bed tonight,
'Cause if the fight don't die before,
The sun rise,
We may wake up on the,
Wrong side,
Lets not go to be mad tonight.

{VERSE I}
[MONICA]
Time is tickin',
My eyes are gettin' heavy,
But I know we gotta squash this,
So boy whats poppin',
It's time for droppin',
Coppin' attitudes right now,
Not for nothin',
'Cause this ain't nothin',
Don't you know that I love you,
So start to stoppin',
Think about it,
You'll see its to bad to.

Argue about things uncritical,
And you're heated over nothing,
Then just hang up the phone,
I wanna talk in the morn,
See we need a resolution,
Like that Aaliyah song,
Come on.

{CHORUS}
I think you're wrong,
You think you're right,
And all that equals up to is a fight,
Lets compromise,
Before we go to bed tonight,
'Cause if the fight don't die before,
The sun rise,
We may wake up on the,
Wrong side,
Lets not go to be mad tonight.

{VERSE II}
[TYRESE]
What time is it,
I'm not on a mission,
To stay up with you all night,
It makes me so sick,
To my stomach,
Every time we argue and fight,
I mean it girl my head gets light,
It just ain't right,

It's 2:15 in the morning,
There is no need baby.

To Argue about things uncritical,
And you're heated over nothing,
Then just hang up the phone,
I wanna talk in the morn,
See we need a resolution,
like that Aaliyah song,
Ooooh............

{CHORUS}
I think you're wrong,
You think you're right,
And all that equals up to is a fight,
Lets compromise,
Before we go to bed tonight,
'Cause if the fight don't die before,
The sun rise,
We may wake up on the,
Wrong side,
Lets not go to be mad tonight.

[TYRESE]
I'm not tryin' to be mad at you,
Why you make me not wanna fool with you,
Can't you see I'm tired girl.

[MONICA]
Besides the fact it's a quarter past 2,
A girl like me got things to do,
So let's see each other's point of view,
Point of view.

{CHORUS 2X}

{BOTH}
I just want to love you baby,
I place no one above you baby,
You're the only one for me,
Lets not argue oh my baby,
Everything you want or need,
You're my baby come and take my hand,
I got you babe,
Let me be the man you want in your life babe.

{CHORUS}
