Deborah Cox Starting With You Lyrics

Look at you
Different day but same damn bags
You're on my porch
And I don't even have to ask
I see tears in your eyes
As you come inside and break down.

So
What's he done
And I hope this don't take long
Cause you know one call from him
And you'll be home before morn
Here's friendly hug
Followed by tough love
Are you ready

The way he knows he can (ohh yeah)
