Gerald Levert - Backbone Lyrics

Send "Backbone" ringtone to your cell

Well well well

Well well well well

Oh baby listen to me

Just got laid off from work today

I can't go home what am i gonna say?

Guess i'll go to the local bar toss up a few

Tell the bartender what i'm going through

He said "you got a good woman

She gon' catch you when you fall

So instead of giving me an earful

Here's a quarter you need to call her"

So here i am baby

If tonight i cry oh baby

I need you to be strong

Will you be my shoulder oh baby

Girl you are my backbone my backbone

And i'm falling apart

My little boy birthday is coming yeah

And he want that playstation 2 yes he do

What am i gonna tell him

Gotta save 'cause the rent is due the rent is due

You say you'll get another job yes you do girl

But i won't put you through that

Just hold me close tonight say everything will be alright

I just need to know i need to know you got my back

So if tonight i cry oh i cry

I need you to be strong

Will you be my shoulder my shoulder?

Girl you are my backbone my backbone

And i'm falling apart

Girl i know it's really messed up

I think the lord is trying to test us yes he is

Better half never meant so much to me

Like any real man i want my family to have everything and anything

But i`m struggling to get on my feet

If tonight i cry oh baby

I need you to be strong baby

Girl you're my shoulder

Baby you're my backbone my backbone

And this man is falling apart

I don't wanna cry so i need you to be strong

For the kids and the family you can't let 'em see us down

'cause you know they gon' kick ya when ya down and out

See nobody wants you nobody even cares

If tonight i cry

I need you to be strong

Will you be my shoulder?
