Partners For Life lyrics - Diddy (feat. Jamie Foxx)

[Intro/Chorus: Jamie Foxx]

I've been thinkin, times is hard

'Fore it get worse and fall apart

Maybe you should quit your job.. and do what's right

And make you my partner for life

So we can chill (and have a little fun)

So we can chill (and have some little ones)

So we can chill (until our living's done)

[Diddy - over Foxx]

Can I talk to you for a second?

There's some things I've been meanin to tell you

Some things that have been on my mind

Listen to me baby (let's go)

[Jamie] Girl, maybe we should think about it (think about it baby)

[Diddy] Boo you know what? (What)

[Diddy + (girl)]

The day when I first seen you

You know I didn't stand, but I ain't mean to (yes you did)

Back then it wasn't oh so fair

You came through like some good clean air

Skin softer than the softest fabrics

You heard about me (I heard about you)

How I ball like the Dallas Mavericks

Sayin, anything you want, you can have it (give it to me)

That's Harlem World, I get on my grizzly savage see?

From the first day, we laid eyes on each other

at the office I knew we was gon' be lovers (I remember)

Mark hotel under the covers

You said I was cool and not like a lot of them brothers

Who used and abused you and took you for granted

See you a Goddess, that's why you was put on this planet (I love you)

Since you got me all sentimental

[Chorus w/ Diddy ad libs]

[Diddy] C'mon, don't stop

[Jamie] Girl, maybe we should think about it (think about it baby)

[Diddy]

You're so amazin

All I can see is us now in the sun just grazin

Boo your brown complexion, I never seen a

same color as coffee a teaspoon of creamer

'Member when I had the Beemer? Remember?

Goin through tough times and knowin the other side was greener

We had a dream, we pursued it

'Member that conversation, all or nothin before we lose it?

You remember - it's all words like music

Came at a time I needed soothin, soul body and mind

At times I felt violent, you kept me in line

Where-ever I went you wasn't far behind

Girl, we got a bond no one can break

And I'm sayin, I pray to God every night we make it - pray to God

I'm hooked and I don't wanna shake you - c'mon

[Chorus - faded into deep background]

[Diddy talks over Chorus]

Yeah I've been doin a lot of thinkin lately baby, yeah

Now I know I done put you through a lot of shit

I know it's hard fuckin with a nigga like me

Yeah, you get a lot of respect for that shit

Ridin with a nigga

You know.. you might as well.

[Diddy]

Now sit back and reflect, on all our accomplishments

The mansions, the plush apartments and

The big boats and the cases of whole klicko

I don't ever wanna let you go

It's a certain kind of feelin, you know that feelin you get

When your girl right and you know what's what, uhh

You got me on some lay low stuff

You stood by me, all through that J-Lo stuff

Brush your shoulders off girl, go 'head and brush 'em

Without you around, I can't function

We gon' be together 'til the day we die

And when they put us in the ground we'll be side by side

I never had a girl make me feel like you

And every day I wake up, I feel brand new

I live for you and I'll die for you too

I love you girl

[Chorus]

[Jamie Foxx]

Girl, maybe we should think about it

Oh we could be down for life

Have a couple kids and make you my wife, baby

You're beautiful lady

My beautiful, so wonderful

I love you so..

Oh we could be down for life

Have a couple kids and make you my wife, baby

You're beautiful lady

Baby let's chill

Baby let's chill

Baby that's real forever [fades out]
