It seems like every time I come around

You say, "Jay, where have you been?"

'Cause you can't get your mind off all

The things you hear from your friends, whoa

Well, I don't give a damn

'Cause they don't understand

The things that we do, whoa

They don't even know me

How they gonna know what's best for you?

So I do what I gotta do

I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt

I do what I gotta do

I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now

Living in the city, it can be so hard to stay on your feet

Girl, that's why it's good to know that I'm there for you and you're there for me

While we're trying to get that paper, it's a struggle just for us to get by

But if we stick together, we gon' make it, baby, we'll be alright

I do what I gotta do

I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt

I do what I gotta do

I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now

I do what I gotta do

I'm gonna get through to you, I'm yours no doubt

I do what I gotta do

I'm trying to get through to you, right here, right now

I've got you, babe

I've got you, baby

I hold you down

And I do what I gotta do

I'm yours right now

I've got you, baby

I've got you, baby

I hold you down, yeah

I do what I gotta do, hey-yeah

I'm yours right now
