๐ Lyrics
And I'm still here in the sun
Getting my work done
Won't you cooperate
Headaches and heartaches
You're my inspiration where's my motivation
Palm trees swaying on the beach
My cellphones within reach
And when the day is done
You're still the one
Still, yeah
Still the one, baby
I don't know what to say I'm just tired
I'm just tired baby
Every time I tell you I'm in Miami
You act like I'm just out on the beach just
Laying down, sun fun
Baby it's more to Miami than the beach
I'm workin'
You think the people who live in Vegas
just, oh
Are out playing poker
Playing the wheel, playing cards
Playing the slot machines
You gotta live somewhere
You think all the people in New York
They just hanging out on Broadway going to the theatre
You think all the people in DC
All they doing is just hanging out at the White House
And playing over in lady Michelle's garden
C'mon, you don't even act like a grown man sometimes
I'm just tired
And it ain't like I don't bring my money home
And when I, when I come home I don't come home broke
Not like some of them other people you been dealing with
And you know I know, right?
Mhm
Just tired
And you know the Bible says
In all thy get and get a understanding
I don't have an understanding
About the way that you treat me, you treat me like a stranger
You know I don't roll like that
It ain't like I'm out partying or nothin'
When I say palm trees swaying on the beach
That's what I see 'cause I'm driving by
The studio is on the beach couple of the places that I work
Are on the beach
What you want?
What you want from me you don't want me to go to work?
How we gone eat?
Times rough everywhere
So I'm not trynna put you on front street
I'm trynna tell you exactly how it is
Now if money is not flowing for you
If it's flowing for me please let it flow for me
Please don't do this
'Cause see this confusion
Nothing good can come out of this
Hey, I got visions and I'm just trying to make
Provision of the vision
And I don't need no division
And then people asking me why my eyes red
Like they think I hang out at night
Man I'm tired of crying over this stupid stuff
This is stupid
You know I'm your girl
I've proven that to you time and time again
Don't make me go there
'Cause you know I will
And you know I can
Watch too much TV
Whether you know it or not, I'm sure
Beyond love can't fix this
You a grown man and you should know
I'm a grown woman and I do know
Said we're grown people and we should know
On-on-on-only God can fix this
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Said I just get tired, baby
Said I just get tired, baby
I get tired, baby
So tired, so tired
Hey, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Getting my work done
Won't you cooperate
Headaches and heartaches
You're my inspiration where's my motivation
Palm trees swaying on the beach
My cellphones within reach
And when the day is done
You're still the one
Still, yeah
Still the one, baby
I don't know what to say I'm just tired
I'm just tired baby
Every time I tell you I'm in Miami
You act like I'm just out on the beach just
Laying down, sun fun
Baby it's more to Miami than the beach
I'm workin'
You think the people who live in Vegas
