It's just one of those nights, one of those nights
Where I'll take the long way, I'll take the long way home
I can't leave you alone, no, I can't leave you alone, no
And have you ever felt like you need somebody
And clear that somebody be me, baby
You feel like the world's a lonely place, but
As long as I see your face it's been somewhat of a good day
Ye-yeah[Hook]
It just one of those nights
It just one of those nights, yeah
It just one of those nights
I got a lot on my mind, ye-yeah
A lot on my mind
But will I ever have time?
Are you so blind?
Cause you can't see, no, no
[Verse 2]
How could you, find better, you see what's happenin' now
You see I'm pa**ionate now, 'bout somethin' other than you
It ain't nothin' to prove, ha, you know the deal
You tried to take me out of this world, and on the real
I never been better, my n***as proud I'm lit
Conversations wit' mama, yeah, I'm 'bout to have her quit, yeah
Collect that retirement, I made that my requirement
All the way to London, ain't that really a trip?
These haters want me to slip, but I'm as good as it gets
So who are you if you 'on't have me on your favorites list
Remember many years ago when I was prayin' for this
Around the same time my big homies was loadin' them clips
And now I'm right here, knew sooner or later it'd be my year
Same style for years, I really should be the pioneer
But I don't trip, I walk the path that was meant for me
Cause thinkin' 'bout things like that can mess you up mentally, look
Lord willin' I walk the path of the legends
Keep my spirit in place, I preach to you like a Reverend
Teach you a couple lessons, move when I'm under pressure
Stayin' true to the essence, acknowledging every blessing, yeah
She told me without tellin' me I wasn't good enough
True enough, I guess you really can't tell your heart who to love
Now who the plug? These n***as comin' to me
There's really no love lost, I'm still keepin' the peace like
[Hook]
It just one of those nights
It just one of those nights, yeah
It just one of those nights, oh, yeah
[Outro]
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home
Ohhh, yeah yeah
I'll take the, I'll take the long way
I'll take the long way
I'll take the, I'll take the long way
Yeah, I'll take the long way home
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
I'll take the, I'll take the
I'll take the, I'll take the long way home
