[Intro: Ronald Isley]
La-da-da-da-da, da-da, oh, yeah
Oh, oh

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Been in the game since '59
Had a whole lot of women at that time
So many old, so many young
So many right, so many wrong
Pink pearls, pink diamonds, Learjets, beach houses
I kissed ’em, I tricked 'em, I spoiled 'em, I dissed ’em
Please believe, as a G, I've done it all
Everything you can see (I've seen it all)
But when I look at you, all of a sudden
Say the game means nothing and love means something
And you mean everything

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I'm on a road trip, I'm thinking about how
(I just gotta be with you)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you)
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I’m on a road trip, I’m thinking about how
(I just gotta be with you)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you)
[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
Do you remember ten years ago when we met after the show
I brought you to my home and you didn’t wanna give me none
You said, "Ronald, I wanna be your girl"
But Mr. Biggs had too many girls to settle down
But now I'm sure that, hoo, hoo, I can tell you what real lovers do
What real love is for
And I'm ready to give up everything
The game, the name, the fame, the plane (Well, maybe not the plane)
But we can fly, just me and you

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I’m on a road trip, I'm thinking about how
(I just gotta be with you, you know)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you, la-da-da-da-da, da-da)
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I'm on a road trip, I'm thinking about how
(I just gotta be with you, oh, oh)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you)

[Interlude: Jermaine Dupri, Ronald Isley]
Right about now, this is the time when I need you to
(I just gotta be with you, la-da-da-da-da-da, da, da)
Ha, grab that special somebody in your life
And just tell 'em, no matter what's going on
(I just gotta be with you, la-da-da-da-da-da, da, da)
Thank you, Ron (Oh, oh)
Yeah, now, all the fellas know what it is when I say, uh
You know, when find that special one, man, it ain't nothing like it, man
(I just gotta be with you)
No matter if you rappin', trappin'
Being a doctor, playing basketball or football, man, you know what I mean?
(I just gotta be with you)
It go down at some point when you gotta tell a girl like this
[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I'm on a road trip, I'm thinking about how (Oh yeah)
(I just gotta be with you, well, well, well, well)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth (Oh)
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you, la-da-da-da-da, da)
When I'm riding in my whip (Yeah)
When I'm on a road trip, I'm thinking about how (Oh yeah)
(I just gotta be with you, yeah)
If it's the last thing that I do before I leave this earth (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Girl, I (Just gotta be with you)

[Outro: Ronald Isley]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I just gotta be with you
I just gotta be with you
I just gotta be with you
I just gotta be with you
