Monica Denise Arnold (born October 24, 1980), professionally known as Monica, is a Grammy Award-winning American R&B singer, songwriter, composer and occasional actress. She debuted in 1995 under the guidance of Rowdy Records head Dallas Austin and became the youngest recording act to ever have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B Singles chart. Following a major success with "The Boy Is Mine", a duet with singer Brandy, in 1998, a series of hit records established her position as one of the most successful of the new breed of urban R&B female vocalists to emerge in the mid-to late 1990s. Her popularity was in decline between the early 2000s, during which time she dealt with more personal tribulations including the suicide of her boyfriend Jarvis "Knot" Weems, an up-and-down relationship with former fiancé Corey "C-Murder" Miller and the delay of her heavily-bootleged third album, All Eyez on Me.

Mo: There's something on your mind
I can see right through you
I know your girl been treating you wrong
but she ain't know good for you
why do u hold it inside
boy you should let me know
i just wanna make it right
wanna be the one you can cry on
X: Baby its like i love my wife
but we going through things
and i ain't going home tonight

or is he still with you
wanna meet at the same spot
or should i come and get you
aiight i'll be there in 10

X: I ain't goin nowhere, when you wake up i'm gonna be right there
don't you worry bout a thing(i ain't worried bout...)

X:Look its like i love my wife we going through things and i ain't going home tonight
Mo:Its kinda strange that when you call
she's never home, and your there all alone and
you deserve so much more baby
i can treat you better than she can
it doesn't make sense to keep on lovin'
and keep on trustin when in return all you get is nothing
X:Damn you got me f'ed up
and i'm feelin it more
never had a mistress this stressed before
C'mon ma, like it ain't that deep
like there ain't no love there,
like i don't hate that i gotta creep
we go to sleep in eachothers arms(yeah)
and i feel like this is where i belong
if loving you is right then i ain't wrong
its the same ol' song life and fam'
gotta be a father and a husband
but i'm still your man
chorus:
Mo:The situations getting critical
I watch so many tears fall
I know she ain't what you want
So why you keep on holding on
when i'm right here
All you need to do is call
Don't be afraid
Cuz she won't kno at all
Chorus:2x
