(feat. Tami Chynn)

[Tami's answering machine:]
Hi, I'm not here right now, just leave a message

[Wayne Marshall:]
Girl, you need fi pick up de phone right now caw mi haffi talk. mi see de note and mi can believe that your girls a come between me and you. I know yuh can hear dis right now so yuh need fi pick up the phone

[Tami Chynn:]
What is it? wuh yuh haffi seh?

[Wayne Marshall:]
Whyyyyyyy, did you have to go, why now
You ran off with my heart
And I loved you from the start
Baby come back homeeeeee

[Tami Chynn:]
Well iiiiiiii, I really had to go
Cause I am not your ho'
Back then you had your way
Today's a diffrent day
I won't come back homeeeee

[Wayne Marshall:]
I gave you my all I give my everything
You were my queen you said I was your king
Now that you're gone you got me thinking
Why this relationship's sinking
Why is the question I ask
You keep bringing up things from the past
Where is the love that you said would last
You need to bring yuh ass back fast

[Tami Chynn:]
Don't even know where fi start or began
Tired of living like I'm a victim
Tell yuh di trute, I'm done pretending
I'm gone for good this is the ending
Why is the question yuh ask
Lemme give yuh this blast from the past
The calls on your phone
The girls in my home
Yuh lying and yuh cheat, now I'm goneee

[Wayne Marshall:]
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy, did you have to go, why now
You ran off with my heart
And I loved you from the start
Baby come back homeeeeee

[Tami Chynn:]
Welll iiiiiiii, I really had to go
Cause I am not your ho'
Back then you had your way
Today's a diffrent day
I won't come back homeeeee

[Wayne Marshall:]
You listening to your so called friends
Telling you things just to cause problems
Why not? think about back when

[Tami Chynn:]
Just stop, wid that whole argument

[Wayne Marshall:]
You never yet see the wrongs that you do

[Tami Chynn:]
Boy now I see I was wrong to choose you

[Wayne Marshall:]
I can't be alone

[Tami Chynn:]
I stand on my own

[Both:]
I really can't take anymoreee

[Wayne Marshall:]
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, did you have to go, why now
You ran off with my heart
And I loved you from the start
Baby come back homeeeeee

[Tami Chynn:]
Welll iiiiiiii, I really had to go
Cause I am not your ho'
Back then you had your way
Today's a diffrent day
I won't come back homeeeee

[Wayne Marshall:]
I gave you my all I give my everything
You were my queen you said I was your king
Now that you're gone you got me thinking
Why this relationship's sinking
Why is the question I ask
You keep bringing up things from the past
Where is the love that you said would last
You need to bring yuh ass back fast

[Tami Chynn:]
Don't even know where fi start or began
Tired of living like I'm a victim
Tell yuh di trute, I'm done pretending
I'm gone for good this is the ending
Why is the question yuh ask
Lemme give yuh this blast from the past
The calls on your phone
The girls in my home
Yuh lying and yuh cheat, now I'm goneee

[Wayne Marshall:]
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy, did you have to go, why now
You ran off with my heart
And I loved you from the start
Baby come back homeeeeee
