[Intro]
Your love is wonderful, yeah
And I don't want to lose you
So baby...

[Chorus]
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do

[Verse 1]
Sleepless nights and lonely days are all that fill my head
All of the time, oh baby
But all I do, is think about the way you make me feel
'Cause baby, this love is so real

[Chorus]
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do

[Verse 2]
If I try to spend some time with you to make you happy
Would you feel better?
And if I could, with you I would be forever
Forever in love, so in love

[Pre-Chorus]
Making love all through the night
We could hold each other tight
I can take away the pain
If you would only let me
Just forget about the past
'Cause I want to make it last
Baby, I apologize
'Cause boy, I really need you in my life

[Chorus]
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do
Soon as I get home, I'll make it up to you
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do

[Bridge]
Baby, if you give me just another chance (Oh baby)
I can show you love (More love)
Promise I'll be true to you
(You don't ever have to worry)
Don't ever have to worry (No, no, no)
'Cause I'm gonna treat you right
(Baby, I miss you)
Baby, I miss you, just want to kiss you
Hold you in my arms

[Chorus]
Soon as I get home
Baby, I know what I gotta do
'Cause I don't need no one but you
Soon as I get home
Baby, I know what I gotta do
'Cause I don't need no one but you
Soon as I get home
Baby, I know what I gotta do
'Cause I don't need no one but you
Soon as I get home
Baby, I know what I gotta do
'Cause I don't need no one but you

Faith Evans is a singer-songwriter-producer who was the first lady of Bad Boy Entertainment and former wife of the label’s star, The Notorious B.I.G.

After working as a background singer for Al B. Sure!, Faith was writing songs and singing background for artists such as Mary J. Blige, Usher, and Tony Thompson before releasing her own debut album, Faith, in 1995. The album was certified platinum and featured the gold singles “You Used To Love Me” and “Soon As I Get Home”. After Biggie’s murder on March 9, 1997, Faith—along with Puff Daddy and 112—paid tribute to him on the #1 pop single “I’ll Be Missing You”, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1998.

Her second album, Keep the Faith, also achieved platinum status and featured the gold single “Love Like This”. She left Bad Boy after her third album, Faithfully, and released several albums through multiple labels, including the 2017 duet project, The King & I, which mixed her vocals with acapellas from The Notorious B.I.G. She appeared in the 2003 movie The Fighting Temptations, as well as the reality television shows R&B Divas and Love & Hip Atlanta.
