[Verse 1]
Thought I get to see your face again
But my flight got cancelled, wouldn't stop raining
So two days three flights later I touch down
But there was trouble with you family
And now your outta town
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin' like theres something just dont want me near you

[Chorus]
The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like
Everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Cause it keeps getting in the way

[Hook]
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

[Verse 2]
And now we're in the same state
But I be in the studio workin' extra late (five in the morning)
And finally I get to leave (I'm comin' home to you)
But by the time I get there your already fast asleep
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin like theres something just dont want me near you

[Chorus]
The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like
Everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Cuz it keeps getting in the way

[Hook]
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way

[Chorus 2]
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin like theres something just dont want me near you
Baby The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like
Everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Said it keeps getting in the way

[Hook]
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way

Ne-Yo (who was born Shaffer C. Smith) got his stage name from collaborator and producer, Big D Evans, who claimed that Ne-Yo “sees music as Neo sees the matrix.”
