Stay Strong Baby [for Sajdah and I]

This Is Called 'Stay Strong Baby' It Is A Song, And It Is Soul/ Jazz/ Whatever You Wanna 
Call It. Its Deep, And Soft, And Smooth, Sung Low In A Way That Brings Shivers Down Your 
Sprin, Tingels In Places You Havent Felt In A Long Time, A Beat In Your Heart Just A Little Off 
Tempo, And Goosebumps All Down Your Arms. This Was Written By Me, For Sajdah And I. 
And Anyone Else Who Gets This And Can Feel The New Orleans Blues Crawling Over Their 
Skin. Please Enjoy. 




Baby come and share your tears
me and you are both crying here
lost our men
lost our souls
dont know where else to go
we're finding now 
that we're broken down 
dont know where to be 
without our babys

oh oh oh whoa
whoa whoa whoa 
So Dry Your Tears 
Cause you and i are both here
Stuck in this land of love
with out our men to hug
And baby please
just stay strong for me
cause ive lost my mister 
and i can barely see
its the water we're staying above
on the hopes of returned love
mmmh, mmmmh,
mmm mmmh mh mmmh 

babys off on a fight
our men took their guns tonight
going to shoot down somebody 
gonna find their no longer free
but baby dont they see
that we dont care bout no body 
cause they made a crime
stealing out hearts
one at a time

oh oh oh whoa
whoa whoa whoa 
So Dry Your Tears 
Cause you and me are both here
Stuck in this land of love
with out our men to hug
And baby please
just stay strong for me
cause youve lost your mister 
and you can barely see
its the water we're staying above 
on the hopes of returned love
mmmh, mmmmh,
mmmmmmmh mmmh
mmmmh mmh mmh

and now dont they see
how much we're missing them baby
cause without their touch
we're just not enough
and with out their skin
baby we feel like nothing
without their kiss
its only them that we miss
mhmm mmhmmm mhmmm

but 
we
must
stay 
strong
strong
strong
oh 
we 
must
stay 
strong
strong
strong

oh baby 
oh baby 
hear me 
calling to thee
a jailbirl song
baby we knew all along
but we need 
oh its you i need
I needed you all along

Cause its our men that we're missin
our men we aint kissin
our men we cant sleep without 
oh baby just come back 
just come back now
just come back now
just come back now [hold last note]
