Song Lyrics

[Intro]
Talk to your girl dog she down for you you just got to make sure you down for her

[Verse 1 (Nick Cannon)]
We was doin from day one a feeling that i couldn't escape from seems like a dream i don't want to await from a lot of things
that i can't get away from a lot of stress i just want to erase em you da reason why i'm hard at work you think my job is
chasin baller skirts i ain't got to search baby doll you're first see you got this touch that revolve to earth i know you
sweat when i'm out on tour i was max and maturable and adorable for a lot of balls to step from my hotel door couldn't even
recall what i go there for but i was much younger much dumber out of touch so i bring my less on the summer crazy amazingly
you forgave me turn around and say to me

[Chorus (Mary J. Blige)]
Whenever you need me babe just call my name no matter whatever you done you know that i'll be there i'm down for you
whatever you're goin through whenever you need me babe you know that i'll be there

[Verse 2 (Nick Cannon)]
yo every man needs a rider beside her my rider to is clinon was to pick em up off the bottom whatever he need she got em
and vise versa even though his style might hurt her a phone call is a phone call to a fella but to women it falls under the
same umbrella it's trust plus honesty respect gotta jugle em all try not to neglect 'cause if something go wrong it be hard to
correct they forgive but never forget no matter how many diamonds you sit on they neck you look at invisible set they be
they be invisible next that's why i hold my home team down no matter how much of this world i'm going around i'm gonna treat
you da right way it always feel good when you say...

[Repeat chorus]

[Verse 3]
now as soon as the media get a hold of the vocal they gonna try figure the motive the reason i wrote who da girl on my arm
at the movie premiere who da one in the drop with the wind in her hair poparatzzi
watch but to see pops don't like me and that's wherever i might be so i need a girl to stand and to understand and stand
next to cannon 'cause i got a plan and i ain't tryin put no weight on ya girl but it's hard to have alove affair in front of
the world everytime you move every step you make bein watched possibly videotaped that's why i need a place where i can
escape from and another soul and which my soul can relate and i probably make a lot of mistakes but i still need to hear
somebody say...

[repeat chorus 3x]
