Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling

I heard for the first time time

Studied all the words to the rhyme

You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon

There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight[Mary J. Blige]

Be a man, no matter what the circumstances

A grown man ain't supposed to cry

So why does water fill my eyes when

I hear your voice[Blige]

You've learned a house is not a home

When you're living all alone, and you want back home[Chorus: Wyclef]

A grown man ain't supposed to cry

So why does water fill my eyes when

I hear your voice(What about the baby~! What about the baby~!)

Everything gon' be alright
