Monica - Hustler's Ambition (Lyrics)

[Verse 1: Akon]

Miles in between us

It's been so long since we last talked

I hear your voice [?]

On the [?] every day we have to say goodbye

[Chorus: Akon]

A hustler's ambition keeps me on the road

I do it for our family that I need to provide for

I know you're tired of sleeping alone

Cause I've been gone so long, so lo-lo-lo-long

Girl tonight, tonight

'Fore you turn off the lights, off the lights

Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes, close your eyes

Pray I'll make it back home safe tonight, safe tonight

And when you wake up, I'm by your side

I'll be home in the morning

Home in the morning, home in the morning, home in the morning

I'll be home in the morning

[Verse 2: Monica]

How I wish you could stay

Still I pack your suitcase just the same

Don't know how long you'll be away

But these pictures in the frame

We must be together every day, yeah

[Chorus: Monica + (Akon)]

A hustler's ambition keeps you on the road

You do it for our family that you need to provide for

I know you're tired of sleeping alone

Cause you've been gone so long, so long long long

Boy tonight (tonight)

Will you turn out the lights (out the lights)

Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes (close your eyes)

Pray you'll make it back home safe tonight (safe tonight)

And when you wake up, I'm by your side

You'll be home in the morning

[Bridge: Akon + (Monica)]

Sunlight shines upon your face

Sunlight upon your face

Put down my bags and crawl into bed, crawl into bed

Try not to wake you as I put my arm around your waist

(Oh, but I know you're there)

(I feel whispers in my hair)

[Outro: Akon + (Monica)]

Girl tonight (tonight)

'Fore you turn off the lights (turn the lights)

Lay your head on my pillow and close your eyes (close your eyes)

Pray I'll make it back home safe tonight (make it safe, baby)

And when you wake up, I'm by your side (by your side)

I'll be home in the morning (oooh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh)

Home in the morning, home in the morning, home in the morning (in the morning)

I'll be home in the morning

I'm home in the morning, home in the morning (I'm home)

Home in the morning, I'll be home in the morning

(I'm on my way)

(I'm coming home to you)
