Faith Evans

Producer: R. Kelly

[Intro]
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na

[Verse 1]
Just coming home from work to a cold and empty house
Can't even eat, so hurt -- Anticipating on this couch
Waiting on the phone to ring, or the sound of your keys
I'm faced with this reality that you're not coming home to me

[Refrain]
Mailman, is there a letter for me?
Please make it better for me
Say that it's only a dream
He's really here with me

[Verse 2]
Folding up the sheets as I think about the way it was
I'm missing you, I'm not gon' lie, you were my first and only love
It's taking every piece of me to be strong enough to live
Late at night I get so weak, it's the fact that you're not here

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
I tried my best to stop you when you were trying to leave
I tried to tell you that your seed's inside of me

[Refrain]

Her second album, Keep the Faith, also achieved platinum status and featured the gold single “Love Like This”.
