Hey girl, keep your head high
I never said I
Wouldn't be back when I'm leaving on a red eye
Gotta do this show so I can get my dough
Blow then lay low with you and I
Huggin' up at the house on the top of the hill
Where we can drop and get ill
A little spot we can chill
Or hide out whenever things get real
Shorty, wontcha tell me how ya feel
If I will
How can I be sure
If you love me too
Well, I gotta go
Until we get this gig
Ya just gotta know
When you're not there I be so tight
No matter what I try, it won't go right

My shorty
Coz you got my back
My shorty
We keep it real like that
My shorty
I wanna be where ya at
My shorty
That's why I feel like that

[Chorus]
Shorty ain't around
I don't feel right
My shorty
My baby
My lady
Come with me
Short ain't around
I don't feel right
My shorty
My baby
My lady
Come with me

Onto a 2 months 8 weeks 60 days later
I threw so many groupies off
One I even made her cry
Had to tell her I really didn't hate her, right?
Couldn't lay awhile
Coz we had to say goodbye
I never thought that I'd
Never see the day that I
Fall for her the way that I did
So I'll say that I
Never stray cuz I find a better way when
I hold it down and keep it tight
Could never say goodbye

My shorty
Cuz you got my back
My shorty
We keep it real like that
My shorty
I wanna be where ya at
My shorty
That's why I'm gettin' like that

[Chorus]

My shorty
My shorty ain't around
My shorty
My shorty ain't around

[Chorus]

Shorty ain't around(My shorty ain't around)
I don't feel right
My shorty
My baby
My lady
Come with me
Shorty ain't around(My shorty ain't around)
I don't feel right
My shorty
My baby
My lady
Come with me
(x2)
