Too Long Lyrics

[Intro]
Aw yeah
Don't that sound good?
Well, this song goes out to anybody that got somebody
Somebody they might want to hold onto
Somebody that they go home to at night
See, that's what I call a good thing
I got me a good thing too, and
See, I don't wanna lose it
Listen

[Verse 1]
I use to hang out every night
Running around in the clubs
Yeah, I thought I had everything
I thought I never needed love
That's when God sent an angel
Straight down from up above
She came and swept me off my feet
Showed me the meaning of true love
Now my friends, yeah they ask me
Why I don't hang like I usе to
Some even laugh and call mе names
Like old man and party pooper

[Pre-Chorus]
But I found me a good thing (Good thing)
And I don't care what they say (Oh no)
Tell 'em when I get time, I might come through
But I can't come through to stay
[Chorus]
Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waiting (My girl, she waiting)
I don't wanna be foolish (Oh no, no)
Got a good thing going on
And I ain't tryna lose it
Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

[Verse 2]
See my girl, she at the house (Oh yeah)
I know that she waiting on me
With a big smile on her face, yeah
Looking real good, smelling real nice and sweet
She know I'm out on the road (On the road)
Doing my music thing
She know the temptation comes (Lord knows temptation comes)
She know I'm only just a man (Know I'm only just a man)
But see, I try to make the right decisions (I try)
But some women have they own intentions (Ah yeah)
And you will be surprised what some people might do
When they really want your attention

[Pre-Chorus]
But I found me a good thing (Found me a good thing)
Won't let nothing get in my way
Tell 'em when I get time, I might come through
But I can't come through to stay
[Chorus]
Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waiting (My girl, she waiting)
I don't wanna be foolish (I don't wanna be foolish)
Got a good thing going on (I got a good thing)
And I ain't tryna lose it (I ain't tryna lose it)
Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long, baby)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')
My girl, she waiting (My girl, she waiting)
I don't wanna be foolish (I don't wanna be foolish)
Got a good thing going on (I got a good thing going)
And I ain't trying to lose it (Oh no)
Can't stay too long (Can't stay too long)
I gotta keep movin' (I gotta keep movin')

[Outro]
Wave your hand if you know you got a good thing
Somebody feel like me
Somebody got a good thing
Aw yeah
Real, real, real, real
Real good thing
She don't have to worry
She, she don't have to worry
