[Intro: Phonte] Look... You know that so many people be askin me like, "Man, how do you do it? How do you stay happy in love?" Ehehe, I think it's really just a state of mind I mean, I know single men that would k** for a home-cooked meal I know, married men that'll k** for a quiet house Haha sh** it's just, it's just all depend on your perspective Youknahmean? Ain't nothin' perfect [Phonte] Yo, my mind in another zone, and voice in another tone Arguin about some sh** rooted in some other sh** Long story short, it was a night that I ain't feel like comin home So I hit the streets, to a couple places I ain't hit for weeks Saw a pretty girl, kissed her cheek - mwah, say magnifique She favored my ex, some harmless flirtin A total diversion, but sometimes that's all a n***a need to get from one day to the next She's placin her bets, and payin respect Next thing, we walkin out and I'm payin the check Aw man. [Chorus: Carlitta Durand] No pretending, baby I'm sending Sending, all my love to you [Phonte] Here she goes again, I can feel her eyes closin in It's like a rigged game, but how the f** am I supposed to win? The O.G. say, "Cheer up" But wifey wants a scholar and a traveler Hunter and a gatherer, and after I capture her Now I gotta put +MY+ spear up? Man, I don't fear much But the thought of losing her hits me in the tear ducts Too much honesty ahead, get earplugs Something in the way society rears us Commitment wears us, out it tears us, apart and makes us feel we don't need to and that turns into "I don't need you" People want what grandma and granddaddy had But the ain't have options, n***a, we do and we choose, to act foolish Not Jewish, but when you hurt a man, baby he bruise/He-brews Can barely handle one, I don't need two Really don't wanna run, but I need to I need to... Lemme get outta here [Chorus 2: Carlitta Durand] No pretending, baby I'm sending Sending, all my love to you No pretending, I am defending Sending, all my love to you [Bridge: Durand] (Phonte) Sending, all my love to you (Oh yeah, yeah) Sending, all my love to you (Yeah, yeah) I am defending (I wanna send it on home) Sending, all my love to you [Outro: Phonte] Lemme just take it on, take it on to the house C'mon, c'mon Tigallo, be strong Be strong, Tigallo! Be strong, just take it home I know she get on your nerves sometimes But man, you got a good woman at home, man Just go home, it-it-it's 'bout 4: 30 Ain't nothin open this time of night but legs and hospitals Just go home, just take it on home Martin Luther King did not die for n***as to be trickin off on HOES, n***a Just, just take it home (all my love to you) You the upstanding family manm you got a good thang, man C'mon Tigallo, c'mon Tigallo, be strong Be, be real strong I-I mean n***a, be REAL strong N-n***a, be STRONG. ...tss, the f**?
