What You Cryin' About

Gerald Levert


I need to know what the problem is

Before you turn your back on me
Before you turn the night lite out
Before you turn and fall asleep
Girl tell me what your crying about?

I thought we said we would never
go to sleep made at each other
no baby, and girl we said
aint gonna be no secrets keep between
one another no, no, no, no,
Pre Release 
For three days or so 
girl your been dogging me strong
and it aint that time of the month
that excuse don't work, don't front 
Can you tell me what the deal is 
no conversation no kiss
I put this on all of our love 
tonight we're gonna nip this in the butt 

Is it me? 
Do I work to hard and not 
pay enough attention to you, Tell me baby? 
Or is them? 
Somebody tell you I was 
doing something I aint suppose to do 
You know how your crew can do 
Pre Release 

Don't turn the night lite out 
till you talk to me, 
Talk to Big Daddy, talk to Big Daddy 
Tell me something 
I want to know right now 
I want to know right now 
I want to know right now 

Say, your leaving me with no choice 
just strain and raising my voice 
desperate I'm on my knees 
baby, baby, baby, baby please 

What your crying about? 
Somebody got to tell me 
Is it your friends hating on me? 
Did I do something? 
I'm just trying to make a better 
life for you and me 
and the kids and the dog
