Whenever You Need Me

[Intro: Nick Cannon]

Talk to your girl, dog

She down for you

You just got to make sure you down for her

They're way stronger than we are

[Verse 1: Nick Cannon]

We was doin from day one a feeling that i couldn't escape from

Seems like a dream I don't wanna awake from

A lot of things that I can't get away from

A lot of stress I just wanna erase 'em

You're the reason why I'm hard at work

You think my job is chasing baller skirts

I ain't got to search baby doll, you're first

See you got this touch that revolve to earth

I know you sweat when I'm out on tour

I was IMX and mature before

A lot of broads to step from my hotel door

Couldn't even recall what I go there for

But I was much younger much dumber

Out of touch, so I bring my lust on the summer

Crazy amazingly, you forgave me

Turned around and say to me

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]

Whenever you need me, babe

Just call my name

No matter whatever you done you know that I'll be there

I'm down for you

Whatever you're goin through

Whenever you need me babe you know that I'll be there

[Verse 2: Nick Cannon]

Yo, every man needs a rider beside him

A Rodham to his Clinton to pick him up off the bottom

Whatever he need she got 'em and vise versa

Even though his style might hurt her

A phone call is a phone call to a fella

But to women it falls under the same umbrella

It's trust plus honesty respect

Gotta juggle 'em all, try not to neglect

'Cause if something go wrong it be hard to correct

They forgive but never forget

No matter how many diamonds you sit on they neck

And that invisible set should be invisible next

That's why I hold my home team down

No matter how much of this world I'm going around

I'm gonna treat you the right way

It always feel good when you say

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]

Whenever you need me, babe

Just call my name

No matter whatever you done you know that I'll be there

I'm down for you

Whatever you're goin through

Whenever you need me babe you know that I'll be there

[Verse 3: Nick Cannon]

Now as soon as the media get a hold of the vocal

They gonna try to figure the motive, the reason I wrote it

Who the girl on my arm at the movie premiere?

Who the one in the drop with the wind in their hair?

Paparazzi watch me to see pops

Don't like me and that's wherever I might be

So I need a girl to withstand and understand

And stand next to Cannon 'cause I got a plan and

I ain't tryin put no weight on ya, girl

But it's hard to have a love affair in front of the world

Every time you move every step you make

Being watched and possibly videotaped

That's why I need a place I can escape

From and another soul in which my soul can relate

And I probably make a lot of mistakes

But I still need to hear somebody say

[Hook: Mary J. Blige]

Whenever you need me, babe

Just call my name

No matter whatever you done you know that I'll be there

I'm down for you

Whatever you're goin through

Whenever you need me babe you know that I'll be there

Whenever you need me, babe

Just call my name

No matter whatever you done you know that I'll be there

I'm down for you

Whatever you're goin through

Whenever you need me babe you know that I'll be there

Whenever you need me, babe

Just call my name

No matter whatever you done you know that I'll be there

I'm down for you

Whatever you're goin through

Whenever you need me babe you know that I'll be there
