Backbone lyrics

Backbone
The G Spot CD
Gerald Levert


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
