[Intro: DMX & Monica]
Grr, yeah
I mean, we all men (We all men)
We know how the shit go
Love one, fuck another
I mean, it is what it is (It is what it is)
I mean, we knew what it was when we became a part of it (Yeah)
Ain't no sense whinin' about it now, you feel me?
It's like

[Verse 1: Monica & DMX]
There's something on your mind (What?)
I can see right through you
I know your girl been treatin' you wrong (Yeah)
But she ain't no good for you
Why do you hold it inside? (Uh)
Boy, you should let me know
I just want to make you right
Wanna be the one you could cry on

[Verse 2: DMX]
Baby, it's like, I love my wife
But we goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight
You got time for a n***a, or is he still with you?
Wanna meet at the same spot, or should I come and get you?
Aight, I'll be there in ten, be in the front
I been gettin' what I need so I'ma give you what you want
One-on-one, 'cause you know how to talk to Dog
You walk the Dog and understand New York is hard, baby
[Chorus: DMX & Monica]
So you, you ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
I ain't goin' nowhere
When you wake up, I'm gon' be right there
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I ain't worried about shit
You're here with me
Look, it's like I love my wife
We goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight, aight?

[Verse 3: Monica & DMX]
It's kinda strange, that when you call (Mm)
She's never home, now you're there all alone
And, you deserve so much more baby (What?)
I can treat you better than she can (What?)
Doesn't make sense to keep on loving, and keep on trusting
When, in return all you get is nothing

[Verse 4: DMX]
Damn, you got me fucked up and I'm feelin' it more
Never had a mistress distress before
Oh, come on, ma, like it ain't that deep
Like ain't no love there, like I don't hate that I gotta creep
We go to sleep in each others arms (Yeah)
And I feel like this is where I belong
If lovin' you is right then I ain't wrong
But this is the same ol' song, wife and fam
Gotta be a father and husband, but I'm still yo' man, baby
[Chorus: DMX & Monica]
So you, you ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
I ain't goin' nowhere
When you wake up, I'm gon' be right there
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I ain't worried about shit
You're here with me
Look, it's like I love my wife
We goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight, aight?

[Bridge: Monica & DMX]
The situation's getting critical (Uh-huh)
I watched so many tears fall (Uh-huh)
I know she's not what you want (Uh-huh)
So why you keep on holding on? (Grr)
When I'm right here (What?)
All you need to do is call (What?)
Don't be afraid (Yeah)
'Cause she won't know at all

[Chorus: DMX & Monica]
You ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
I ain't goin' nowhere
When you wake up, I'm gon' be right there
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I ain't worried about shit
You're here with me
Look, it's like I love my wife
We goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight, aight?
You ain't gotta go home tonight
You can stay right here with me
I ain't goin' nowhere
When you wake up, I'm gon' be right there
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I ain't worried about shit
You're here with me
Look, it's like I love my wife
We goin' through things and I ain't goin' home tonight, aight?
