[Verse 1: LL Cool J]
Just starin' at these four walls closin'
In on me, feelin' like time's frozen
Fadin' in and out, noddin' and dozin'
Guilt tearin' up my brain like erosion
What I did to you was wrong, I admit it
I regret that I did it like a junkie when he's jonesin'
All alone in what used to be a home
But you packed up our joy in that bag you put your clothes in
The voicemail that you left me was scaldin'
Hot enough to burn a hole in a cauldron
'Cause it was all true, that's why we all through
Now your girl's pickin' up the cell when I call you (She don't wanna talk to you)
Talkin' slick like, "She ain't here
She don't want you no more, punk, disappear," click
I need to hit her with a brick
But that'll only lead me to a worse predicament
I hope your girlfriend ain't got you on a liquor binge
With her bitter attitude just cause she's sick of men
But I'ma keep on callin', fightin' 'til the end
On my knees 'til they bleed to prove my love again
[Chorus: Ryan Toby]
I sit in front of your crib in the pourin' rain
Wildin' out, screamin' your name
And keepin' ringin' your bell 'til you mad as hell
And call the po-po, I ain't afraid
You can get your folks and your cousins and them
And try to run me off your block, uh
But I ain't scared, I ain't goin' nowhere
And I ain't stoppin' 'til I gotcha to show you I changed, shawty
[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
I seen you at the movies with some tall cat
So I bust his headlights with a ball bat
When I was with you, he would give me dap and all that
Now you in his arms in the mall, what you call that?
That's what I get for creepin' and crawlin'
Every other weekend gone until the mornin'
Sneakin' out to my dirt, dead wrong
Comin' back past dawn with the guilty mask on
And I never counted the cost, took heed to warnings
Try to hurt a rose, you get pricked by a thorn and
It don't feel nice when you wake up nights
Shakin' in cold sweats and your whole life's a wreck
That was the old me, the one I still regret
The one you couldn't respect, the one you should forget
But I'ma keep on callin', fightin' 'til the end
On my knees 'til they bleed to prove my love again
[Chorus: Ryan Toby]
I sit in front of your crib in the pourin' rain
Wildin' out, screamin' your name
And keepin' ringin' your bell 'til you mad as hell
And call the po-po, I ain't afraid
You can get your folks and your cousins and them
And try to run me off your block, uh
But I ain't scared, I ain't goin' nowhere
And I ain't stoppin' 'til I gotcha to show you I changed, shawty
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Toby & LL Cool J]
Show you I changed, shawty
I really did change, shawty (I'm tellin' you, I changed!)
I wanna show you I changed, shawty (I still love you!)
[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
I don't care if the cops got me surrounded
SWAT teams, whatever, tell 'em to send the hounds in
My mind's in an altered state
Like I'm headed for a wall, top speed, foot off the brake
I make a fool of myself, girl, whatever it takes
I already played the fool when I let you escape
You're as good as it gets, your friendship, your sex
Everything about you and yours connects
From your beautiful smile to the scent of your skin
The sheets smell different, this is not livin'
It feels like dyin', God knows I'm tryin'
Ain't no sight sadder than a grown man cryin'
Please find it in your heart to forgive me
Realize only God can convict me
We all make mistakes, so have you
If God show mercy on me, then you should too
[Chorus: Ryan Toby]
I sit in front of your crib in the pourin' rain
Wildin' out, screamin' your name
And keepin' ringin' your bell 'til you mad as hell
And call the po-po, I ain't afraid
You can get your folks and your cousins and them
And try to run me off your block, uh
But I ain't scared, I ain't goin' nowhere
And I ain't stoppin' 'til I gotcha to show you I changed, shawty
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Toby & LL Cool J]
Show you I changed, shawty (I'm tellin' you, I changed!)
I really did change, shawty
I wanna show you I changed, shawty (I still love you!)
[Outro: Ryan Toby & LL Cool J]
Oh (I'm tellin' you, I changed!)
