[Intro: Ashanti & Ja Rule]

Always there when you call (Buckshots, heh, heh)

Always on time

Gave you my

Baby be mine

Always there when you call

Always on time

Gave you my

[Chorus: Ashanti & Ja Rule]

Baby, I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all (Uh)

Now baby be mine (Yeah, yeah)

I'm not always there when you call (Uh huh)

But I'm always on time (Holla back)

And I gave you my all (Beyotch, heh, heh)

Now baby be mine

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]

C'mon and get a piece of this late-night lover

You know, the one that swing dick like no other (Shit)

I know, I got a lot of things I need to explain

But, baby, you know the name, and love is about pain

So, stop the complaints and drop the order restraints

Our sex life's a game, so back me down in the paint

'Cause I can't wait no more

'Cause it's about a quarter past three and shorty's eyein' me

I got the Bentley valeted

And I'm just outside of Jersey, past the Palisades

And I'd love to see that ass in boots and shades

Throw down on the bed while I'm yanking your braids

Thug style, you never thought I'd make you smile

While I'm smackin' your ass and fucking you all wild

[Pre-Chorus: Ja Rule & Ashanti, Ja Rule]

But we share something so rare

But who cares? You care

[Chorus: Ashanti, Ashanti & Ja Rule]

Baby, I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine

I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine

[Verse 2: Ja Rule]

Girl, get a grip, c'mon, pull it together

It's only a sunshower, we been through worse weather

Like, the stormy nights you wrote a Dear Ja letter

And took my Benz and keyed and cut the leather

Bitch, you know better, we live M-O-B

Money over bitches, Murder, I.N.C

I got two or three hoes for every V

And I keep 'em drugged up off that ecstasy

I'm a playground legend like Kirkland Pee-wee

Name a nigga in the league got more game than me

I play hard, there's so many women I fathered

Meet 'em with scars and send 'em home hot and bothered

Truth or dare, this life ain't apparently fair

And a love with no glare is a crystal stare

[Pre-Chorus: Ja Rule & Ashanti, Ja Rule]

But we share something so rare

But who cares? You care

[Chorus: Ashanti, Ashanti & Ja Rule]

Baby, I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine

I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time (yeah)

And I gave you my all (yo)

Now baby be mine

[Verse 3: Ja Rule, Ja Rule & Ashanti]

Oh I, feelin' like you livin' a, double life

'Cause you don't be coming home, sometimes

Baby, but you're always, on time, checking for one time

You and I, got a special bond together

We go back like bombers, boo, in the coldest weather

And when I play, you play the same way

You freak me baby, I fuck you crazy, then I'm gone

Baby don't really want me to get up and leave off that easy

She'll be wakin' up wet for sheezy

Remind these bitches to mind they business

Believe me, this pimp game is very religious

And I'm built like the Don Bishop

Gon' keep this money-green Benz and my hoes as my witness

The life we share is a thug affair

But who cares? You care

[Chorus: Ashanti, Ashanti & Ja Rule]

Baby, I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine

I'm not always there when you call

But I'm always on time

And I gave you my all

Now baby be mine

[Outro: Ashanti]

Always there when you call

Always on time

Gave you my

Baby be mine

Always there when you call

Always on time

Gave you my

Baby be mine
