| Uhh oh yea |

| Just got laid off from work today |
| I can’t go home |
| What am I gonna say |
| Guess I’ll go to the local bar toss up a few |
| Tell the bartender what I’m going thru |
| He said if you got a good woman |
| She gon catch you when you fall |
| So instead of giving me an earful |
| here’s a quarter you need to call her |
| So here I am baby |
| If tonight I cry (oh baby) |
| I need you to be strong |
| Will you be my shoulder (oh baby) |
| Girl you are my backbone (my backbone) |
| And I’m falling apart |
| My little boy birthday is coming (yeah) |
| And he want that playstation too (yes he do) |
| What am I gonna tell him |
| Gotta save cause the rent is due the rent is due |
| You say you’ll get another job (yes you do girl) |
| But I won’t put you thru that |
| Just hold me close tonight |
| Say everything will be alright |
| I just need to know I need to know you got my back |
| So If tonight I cry (oh I cry) |
| I need you to be strong |
| Will you be my shoulder (my shoulder) |
| Girl you are my backbone my backbone |
| And I’m falling apart |
| Girl I know it’s really messed up I think the Lord is trying to test us (yes he is) |
| Better half never meant so much to me Like any real man |
| I want my family to have everything and anything |
| But I’m struggling to get on my feet |
| If tonight I cry oh baby |
| I need you to be strong baby |
| Girl you’re my shoulder |
| Baby you’re my backbone my backbone |
| And this man is falling apart (ooh) |
| I don’t wanna cry (ooh) so I need you to be strong |
| For the kids and the family |
