[Intro]
Konvict

[Verse 1]
Shorty, I've been tryna feel you out
Let me know what's goin' on
Seems to me that you ain't got no man
'Cause the love is always gone
But you keep on tryin' to brush me off
And then you find yourself callin' me
But you don't wanna jeopardize what you got
Even though you'd rather be with me

[Chorus]
You got a man, he never home
Pretty little thing cryin' on the phone
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone
You got a man, he never home
Only stuck around 'cause your love was strong
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone

[Verse 2]
Day by day keep on passin' you by
Got you feelin' like you're sittin' on a passenger side
At the booty club getting drunk and high
While you're home all alone, cryin', wonderin' why
Oh no, girl, I can't have that
Too cute to be havin' an attitude and all that
When you're fallin' down, I be the one to grab at
And when you're on your feet, you go right back, yeah

[Chorus]
You got a man, he never home
Pretty little thing cryin' on the phone
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone
You got a man, he never home
Only stuck around 'cause your love was strong
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone

[Bridge]
'Cause I got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Gotta make up your mind if you want me on your team
You don't want me to stay, you don't want me to leave
But you wanna hug me up until a brother can't breathe
Like, what do you want from me?
You say you wanna love me, but your man's in the way
Still, what do you want from me?
I guess I cut it up again and call it a day 'cause

[Chorus]
You got a man, he never home
Pretty little thing cryin' on the phone
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone
You got a man, he never home
Only stuck around 'cause your love was strong
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone

[Chorus]
You got a man, he never home
Pretty little thing cryin' on the phone
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone
You got a man, he never home
Only stuck around 'cause your love was strong
City lights came on and then went off again
And you're still alone

Akon

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
