When I Need You
Lyrics
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
Living on an old dream now
And it's not what it seems, what I need when I'm
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
You put the light out for clout
Imma let it go and ride out for now
Wow, congratulations in order
Better thank the academy, happy to be a part of
Your latest production, heard you break at the luncheon
Really had us convinced that you were grateful for loving I gave you
Straight from the jump, now you got me asking
If what I gave was enough, 'cause I'm feeling like a 6th man
Cuffing season draft, swear these women got like 6 plans
Never added up, just like the kid who always skipped math
Lupe taught me bitch bad, but Kenny taught me if that
Name fits, you can't blame the language
So I let it rain if the circumstance calls for it
Left me to hang and now I'm taking the fall for it
Thought you was on board, sailed while you was busy with the old work
Shoulda checked the timesheets, woulda noticed there's a slow burn
Use me while convenient, meaning only when you fiending
Soon as I reach out for you, then suddenly it's "why so needy?"
Not so easy to be vulnerable these days
Guard up in the garden while I walk over these snakes
You happy with him? Well go and be that, imma hit the evac
And when this shit is platinum spare the reacts, 'cause I know you'll be
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
Living on an old dream now
And it's not what it seems, what I need when I'm
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
You put the light out for clout
Imma let it go and ride out for now
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go and crash my vehicle into your party
When you were dressed to nines, and it was 10 O'clock, and you were looking hardly
Good enough to drive, but good enough to jump in his Ferrari
Or was it on his Harley? (Heh)
I didn't mean to call you, involve you, in all the bullshit
I feel when enthralled you, push against the wall like he's balled you up
Mixed up, I need a pick me up; I need every girl bent over like she's fixed me up
Vroom, vroom, look now, man, she's gassed me up
(And you were supposed to hold me-)
I hate starving, but can only work when I'm hungry
I hate pardons, so I'll always stay in my country
I hate stalling, so I'll always merc for the money
I hate bitches, but I need the love like a dummy, I swear
So here we are, girl
Where we supposed to go now since it went down, girl?
Where you really at when you say you 'round, girl?
Hold me down, girl, hold me down (yeah)
Been staring at old pictures from golden days
When you was my heart, and I was your sole flame
We lit up the night, and it kept our souls blazed
I'm talking creole food and Old Bay, soul food and beignets
Both fooled in a new way
It's close enough, but closed on a Tuesday
We were close enough, but we couldn't choose fate
We broke apart like we was two states arguing over "Who Dey"
Arguing over who'd stay—well I guess I was right
You never knew me
And now you're off with him, and you're catching bouquets
A wedding's a terrible place to lose faith, I guess you'll always keep me
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
Living on an old dream now
And it's not what it seems, what I need when I'm
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
You put the light out for clout
Imma let it go and ride out for now
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
Living on an old dream now
And it's not what it seems, what I need when I'm
Falling, tell me where were you when I was calling?
You were supposed to hold me down
You put the light out for clout
