Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Vita, Ja Rule, uh, uh, uh
Huh, where would I be without you?
Haha, yeah
Where would I be without my baby?
The thought alone might break me
And I don't wanna go crazy
But every thug needs a lady
Girl, it feel like you and I been mourning together
Inseparable, we chose pain over pleasure
For that you'll forever be a part of me
Mind, body and soul ain't no I in we (baby)
When you cry, who wipes your tears?
When you scared, who's tellin' you there's nothin' to fear?
Girl, I'll always be there
When you need a shoulder to lean on
Never hesitate knowing you can call on your soul-mate
And vice versa, that's why I be the first to
See Jacob and frost your wrist up
Now you owe me, I know you're tired of being lonely
So, baby girl, put it on me
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me (put it on me)
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me, yeah, yeah
Yo, and I appreciate the rocks and gifts that you cop me, baby
And that house on the hill when you drop like 80
On a down payment thinking, damn, ain't life gravy?
And ever since for my honey I been twice the lady
What would I do without the nights that you kept me warm?
When this cold world had a girl caught in a storm
And I accept when you riff when you're caught in the wrong
And respect when you flip, 'cause our love is strong
And when you hit the block, I watch for 10-4
And when my pops asleep you snuck in the backdoor
Baby boy, we been down since junior high
So when life get hot as July it's the world against you and I
We ballin', tied together and ever
Heart from the heart, knew that it would last forever
When you told me, you would never leave me lonely
So, baby boy, put it on me
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me (put it on me)
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me, yeah, yeah
Since we met, it's been you and I
A tear for a tear, baby, eye for an eye
And you know that my heart gon' cry
If you leave me lonely
'Cause you not just my love, you my homie
Who's gonna console me, my love?
I'm outta control, hold me, my love
'Cause I'm yours
And I don't wanna do nothin' to hurt my baby girl
If this was our world it'd be all yours, baby
The thought alone might break me
And I don't wanna go crazy
'Cause every thug needs a lady, yeah, yeah
I feel you, baby, 'cause them eyes ain't lyin'
Wash away all the tears, there be no more cryin' (baby)
And you complete me, and I would die if you ain't with me
So, baby girl, put it on me
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me (put it on me)
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me, yeah, yeah
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me (put it on me)
Where would I be without you? (Uh)
I only think about you (yeah)
I know you're tired of being lonely (lonely)
So, baby girl, put it on me, yeah, yeah

When you are scared, who is telling you there's nothing to fear? I’ll always be there when you need a shoulder to lean on." In the second verse, the artist acknowledges the material gifts his lover has given him, but he's also grateful for the emotional support she has provided. He says, "And ever since for my honey, I've been twice the lady. What would I do without the nights that you kept me warm?" He also raps about the additional support they provide each other, saying "And when you hit the block, I watch for 10-4. And when my pops asleep, you snuck in the backdoor."
