Our House
T.G.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been a long day and you need me
I'm thinkin I should be down yea yea
Watchin TV, get me lonely
I know that I should be there, yea
When the bed's cold or the rent's due
I barely wanna be there with you
It's killing me, baby and it's wearing me down oh oh
Oh, girl

I hate it when it's time to go
Leave this room when all night we've been close oh oh

[Chorus]
So we gotta go with something, damn this ain't working out no
'Cause it feels like I'm driving the wrong way
I swear I shouldn't be leaving my baby now
You know what? I'm a I'm a stop it, turn this, turn this thing around
What the hell I'm thinking bout? Straight back to your house
Sleeping on your couch, Your trash I'm taking out
You know what? I think I gotta turn around
Go back home to what should be our house
Our house, our house
Damn I need to go back to our house
Our house, our house
Girl, I come back to our house

You work hard baby, over lunch break
I think that I should be there
When you're sleeping and you're naked
Goddammit I should be there uh uh
I'm thinkin it's time for me to go and get my clothes
And finally I'll have my own keys to your door
When it's over and neither one of us should be alone
Alone, no no no

I hate it when it's time to go
Leave this room when all night we've been close oh oh

[Chorus]
So we gotta go with something, damn this ain't working out no
'Cause it feels like I'm driving the wrong way
I swear I shouldn't be leaving my baby now
You know what? I'm a I'm a stop it, turn this, turn this thing around
What the hell I'm thinking bout? Straight back to your house
Sleeping on your couch, Your trash I'm taking out
You know what? I think I gotta turn around
Go back home to what should be our house
Our house, our house
Damn I need to go back to our house
Our house, our house
Girl, I come back to our house

Our house, our house
Yea you always hold me yea
Always cookin' me that good food, yea
Our house, our house
Our house!

Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house
Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house
Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house
Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house
Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house
Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house




Right back where you been waitin', right back in the bed with my baby
Baby you are back to our house

2020 and this is still the best r’n’b album! These guys need to be together our ears deserve for them to be together!

Tyrone Williams

I can keep this song on repeat! In fact when I'm in the house, I'm listening to this song, and when I'm the ride I'm playing this song! The entire album is nice with the  exception of the second tract. I'm sharing no lady with my menz. I'm too old for that type of stuff.
