12

Listen
14
[Verse 1: Ludacris]
15
Look, I lost my father to the bottle
16
I'd hug him everyday like I might not see him tomorrow
17
Got a enough sorrow for a lifetime
18
Cause when he was living I'm thinking how do I get him to listen
19
When he was seldom in his right mind
20
My early years I was too young to understand
21
But I remember the smell of beer and seeing all the empty cans
22
Waking up, crying in the night, hearing arguments
23
Hands off my momma, somehow I knew he was the cause of it
24
Got a little older and he got a little worse
25
Drinking must be his remedy, he got a little cursed
26
Well, tell me what's the cure for a man who miss his pops
27
The beat goes on, but the drinking's gotta stop
28
[Hook: Monica]
29
If I had have know I wouldn't see you tomorrow
30
I would've had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey
31
But now you got me drunk out that pain, gone after sorrow
32
Wishing every day you were here with me
33
But now that you're gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle
34
Ooh oh oh
35
[Verse 2: Ludacris]
36
Yeah, I lost my father to the bottle
37
Functioning alcoholics what they call it far as I know
38
Became a teenager and started to understand
39
But even through drinks he still taught me to be a man
40
So before the hospital, where the paramedics rushed him
41
He knew that everybody who met him, instantly loved him
42
I run the con concerts? Would have made him even sicker
43
Cause who gon' tell him he can't drink none of his son's liquor
44
And tell me without my father how am I supposed to manage?
45
He had the biggest heart, but also had that liver damage
46
Tell me what's the cure for a man who miss his paps
47
The beat goes on, but the drinking' gotta stop
48
[Hook]
49
[Bridge: Monica]
50
Not a day goes by that I don't miss ya, and don't wish you were here with me
51
No matter what you did, I forgive you
52
[Verse 3: Ludacris]
53
I lost my father to the bottle
54
Tell your parents you love 'em
55
You might not see them tomorrow
56
I swallow my pride, try to put my problems aside
57
But I feel so hollow inside
58
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize
59
Cause I'm steady wishing you were here
60
To see the goals that I plan to reach
61
You left the day after I put you into my Grammy speech
62
It's almost like you waited just to see me win
63
Well, pops I can't wait until the day we meet again
64
[Hook]
65
[Outro: Monica]
66
I can't get over you you you, hey
67
Love in a bottle, hey heyyy
68
Oh, I miss you
69
I wanna see you tomorrow
70
I wanna see you again
71
I wanna see you tomorrow
72
I miss you, you you you you
73
I love you, you you you
