Keep You Much Longer Lyrics

Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me girl like I was to you

Wish I could stop by
and maybe say "Hi"
Wish I could stop by
and lay by your side

The tables have turned
and I've finally learned
That this is making up for everyday I was gone
and that's why I'm concerned
But now it's confirmed
That you spread your wings and learned to fly all alone

Darkness in the night
I'll find that light for you
As long as I got eyes
I'll have a sight for you
Long as I am alive
Baby I'd die for you
I wanna be with you

Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me girl like I was to you

wish I could stop by
and maybe say "Hi"
Wish I could stop by
and lay by your side

You're always on my mind
While I'm racin
While I'm paper chasin
You were there when I said "One Day I'd get up out that basement"
Playin' as my agent
For you, there's no replacement
You will always be my girl
and you can hold me on that statement

Darkness in the night
I'll find that light for you
As long as I got eyes
I'll have a sight for you
Long as I am alive
Baby I'd die for you
I wanna be with you

Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me girl like I was to you

wish I could stop by
and maybe say "Hi"
Wish I could stop by
and lay by your side

Baby I know you
and how we do
Doin exactly what I taught you
Get that money first before you come spend that precious time with your boo
and I know I gotta just take it
Even though it's drivin me crazy
Always wanted to see my girl make it

Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me girl like I was to you

Wish I could keep you so much longer

wish I could stop by
and maybe say "Hi"
Wish I could stop by
and lay by your side

Wish I could keep you much longer
I know you gotta go cuz you got things to do
Wish I could keep you much longer
Now you too busy for me girl like I was to you

wish I could keep you baby
I just wanna keep you longer

It seems to be about a girl he misses and longs to be with. He used to not have time for her and now the "tables have turned" and he has time for her but she doesn't have time for him. So they have very little time together. Great song imo.

My Interpretation

one of my guy friends told me to listen to this. he was always too busy to even just catch up and say hi... but now im the one who is always busy, i know he loves me , but i keep going out with these tossers ,(its easy to say that about them now, but when ur in the moment your blinded by love) he knows there not good guys for me...i never learn but he is always wanting to be with me.. its a shame i dont love him the way he loves me,
