Lyrics

Wish I could keep you much longer I know you gotta go 'cause you got things to do Wish I could keep you much longer Now you too busy for me girl, like I was to you (to you) Wish I could stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Wish I could just stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side The tables have turned and I've finally learned That this is makin' up for everyday I was gone And that's why I'm concerned, but now it's confirmed That you spread your wings and learned to fly, but all alone Darkness in the night, I'll find that light for you As long as I got eyes, I'll have a sight for you Long as I'm alive, baby, I'd die for you Wanna be with you Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) I know you gotta go 'cause you got things to do Wish I could keep you much longer Now you too busy for me girl, like I was to you Wish I could stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Wish I could just stop by and maybe say hi (maybe say hi) Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side You're always on my mind, while I'm racin' (hey), while I'm paper chasin' (hey) You were there when I said one day I'd get up out that basement Playin' as my agent (hey), for you there's no replacement (hey) You will always be my girl, they can hold me on that statement Darkness in the night, I'll find that light for you (for you) As long as I got eyes, I'll have a sight for you Long as I'm alive, baby, I'd die for you (for you) Wanna be with you Wish I could keep you much longer I know you gotta go 'cause you got things to do Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) Now you too busy for me girl, like I was to you (to you, yeah) Wish I could stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Wish I could just stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Baby, I know you and how we do Doin' exactly what I taught you Gotta get that money first before you Come spend that precious time with your boo And know I gotta just take it Even though it's drivin' me crazy Always wanted to see my girl make it (ooh, yeah) Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) I know you gotta go 'cause you got things to do (things to do) Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) Now you too busy for me girl, like I was to you 'Cause I wish I could stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Wish I could just stop by and maybe say hi (wish I could just stop by) Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side (yeah) Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) I know you gotta go 'cause you got things to do Wish I could keep you much longer (keep you much longer) Now you too busy for me girl, like I was to you Wish I could stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side Wish I could just stop by and maybe say hi Wish I could just stop by and lay by your side I just wanna keep you longer I just wanna keep you longer
