What You Cryin' About - Gerald Levert

Before you turn your back on me

Before you turn the night lite out

Before you turn and fall asleep

Girl tell me what you cryin' about?

Before you turn your back on me

Before you turn the night lite out

Before you turn and fall asleep

Girl tell me what you cryin' about?

I thought we said, we would never

Go to sleep made at each other, no baby

And girl we said, ain’t gonna be no secrets keep between

One another no, no, no, no

For three days or so

Girl, you been dogging me strong

And it ain’t 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, yeah

Before you turn your back on me

Before you turn the night lite out

Before you turn and fall asleep

Girl tell me what you cryin' about?

Before you turn your back on me

Before you turn the night lite out

Before you turn and fall asleep

Girl tell me what you cryin' about?

Is it me?

Do I work to hard and not

Pay enough attention to you, tell me babe, baby?

Or is it them?

Somebody tell you I was doing something

I ain’t suppose to do, you know how your crew can do

For three days or so

Girl, you been dogging me strong

And it ain’t that time of the month

That excuse don’t work, don’t you front

Tonight we’re gonna nip this thing in the butt, yeah yeah

Before you turn your back on me

Before you turn the night lite out

Just strain and raising my voice

Desperate I’m on my knees

I’m just trying to make a better life for you and me
