Always On Time
Ja Rule (ft Ashanti) Lyrics

If you were me, what would you do?
Asking someone to put themselves in my shoes and tell me what they would do.

Always a lie and never the truth
You were always dishonest, and you never told me the truth.

Now as for me, I'm moving on
I'm done with this relationship and moving forward without you.

You'll always be my baby
Despite everything, I will always have a place for you in my heart.

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
I have to let you go for the moment, even though it hurts.

Thought I could take it for a while
I thought I could handle the situation for a bit longer.

Maybe you'll make it back around
Perhaps in the future, we'll find our way back to each other.

Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
I need to focus on myself and live my life to the fullest.

Can't see me changing for a while
I'm not willing to change myself anytime soon.

Hope I can make it back around
Hopefully, I can find my way back to where I belong.

Anything that I want, I can get it, boy
I can have anything I desire, and you're part of that list.

You know you turn me on and on
You know that I'm attracted to you, and it keeps growing.

That's why I switch my frame of mind
I'm changing how I see things because of you.

Of being there when you call, always on time
I was always there for you when you needed me, no matter what time it was.

I'm looking to spread my wings and party
I want to have fun and experience different things.

Everything and for everybody
I want to try everything and be with everyone.

Need my space, my time alone
I require personal space and alone time to be healthy and happy.

It's like our hearts don't match no more
It seems like our hearts are no longer aligned with each other.

Still everything that you want, you can get it, boy
You can still have anything you want, even though we're not together.

You know I still got love for you
I still have love in my heart for you.

In court I'll plead the fifth, my baby (baby)
I won't say anything that could incriminate you, even if I wanted to.

When you were cheating, you were probably thinking
You were probably not thinking clearly when you cheated.

I won't sense a thing
I was completely unaware of your infidelity.

But love got a funny way of catching up to lies
The truth always comes out in the end, especially in relationships.

And your lies can't look me straight in the eyes
You can't even look me in the eyes after what you've done.

I'm not surprised that you would hurt me, baby
I'm not shocked that you hurt me, but it still hurts.

Though why me, baby?
I don't understand why you would do this to me.

Just let me breathe
Give me space and time to think.

And I'll fly freely
I'll move on and live my life without you.

Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl?
Why would you want to leave me for someone else?

Is there something out there that you feel is better than what's here at home?
Did you find something better than what we have together?

And I know a bitch can do bad on her own
I know you can do bad all by yourself.

You're not alone, the way you hurt me, baby
You're not alone in hurting me.

Shit, why me, baby?
Why did you have to hurt me?

I feel your pain a little, but I know that love is real
I understand that you're hurting too, but I believe in love.

And as long as I let you go that you feel
As long as I let you go, you'll realize what you lost.

The need to come back to me, baby
You'll feel the urge to come back to me.

Who else gon' hold you and sex you crazy?
Who else will treat you the way I did in bed?

R-U-L-E, come on back, holla at me, baby
Ja Rule wants Ashanti to come back to him and reconnect.
