[DMX:]
No sense in whinin' 'bout it now
I mean, we knew what it was
When we became a part of it
Feel me?
(Monica:yeah)
Huh?
It's like...

[Monica:]
There's something on your mind
I can see right through you
I know your girl been treatin' you wrong
But she ain't no good for you
Why do you hold it inside
Boy you should let me know
I just want to make you right
I wanna be the one you can cry on

[DMX:]
Baby, it's like I love my wife
But we going through things and I ain't going home tonight
You got time for a *****
Or is he still with you
Wanna meet at the same spot
Or should I come and get you
A'ight, I'll be there in 10
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 gets hard baby

[CHORUS:]
[Monica:]
You, you ain't gotta go home tonight ([DMX:] Uh)
You can stay right here with me
([DMX:] I ain't going nowhere, when you wake up I'm gon' be right there)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
([DMX:] I ain't worried 'bout shhh...)
You're here with me
([DMX:] Look it's like I love my wife but we're going through things and I ain't going home tonight a'ight?)

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

[DMX:]
Damn, got me ****ed up and
I'm feelin' it more
Never had a mistress this stressed before
Uh come on ma
Like it ain't that deep
Like ain't no love there
Like I don't hate when I gotta creep
([Monica:] When I gotta creep)
And go to sleep in eachothers' arms, yeah
And I feel like this is where I belong
If loving you is right then I ain't wrong
It's the same ol' song
Wife and fam, gotta be a father and husband but I'm still a good man, baby...

[CHORUS:]
[Monica:]
You, you ain't gotta go home tonight ([DMX:] Uh)
You can stay right here with me
([DMX:] I ain't going nowhere, when you wake up I'm gon' be right there)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
([DMX:] I ain't worried 'bout shhh...)
You're here with me
([DMX:] Look it's like I love my wife but we're going through things and I ain't going home tonight a'ight?)

[Monica:]
The situation's gettin' critical
([DMX:] Uh huh)
I watched so many tears fall
([DMX:] Uh huh)
I know she's not what you want
So why you keep on holding on when...
I'm right here ([DMX:] What)
All you need to do is call([DMX:] Yeah, what)
Don't be afraid cause she won't know at all

[CHORUS (x2):]
[Monica:]
You, you ain't gotta go home tonight ([DMX:] Uh)
You can stay right here with me
([DMX:] I ain't going nowhere, when you wake up I'm gon' be right there)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
([DMX:] I ain't worried 'bout shhh...)
You're here with me
([DMX:] Look it's like I love my wife but we're going through things and I ain't going home tonight a'ight?)

[Monica:]
Stay with me...
