Oh baby
Listen to me
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 to the bartender what i'm goin' through
He say if you got a good woman
She gon' catch you when you fall
So instead of givin' me an earfull
Here's a quarter
You need to call her
So here i am
Baby
1 - if tonight i cry
I need you to be strong
Will you be my shoulder
Girl you are my backbone
My backbone
And i'm falling apart
My little boy's birthday is coming
Yeah
And he want that playstation ii
Yes he do
What am i gonna tell him
Gotta save cuz the rent is due
The rent is due
You say you get another job
Yes you do girl
But i won't put you through that
Just hold me close tonight
Say everyting'll be alright
I jsut need to know
I need to know you got my back
So
Repeat 1
Girl i know this is really messed up
I think the lord is tryna test us
Yes he is
But i have 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
Repeat 1
I don't wanna cry
So i need you to be strong
for the kids and the family
Can't let 'em see us down
Cuz yo know they gon' kick ya
Backbone
backbone
When you're down and out
See nobody wants ya
Nobody even cares
Repeat 1 until fade
