Before Goodnight describes Mya begging Swoope to stay, while he is looking for an excuse to leave.
This song samples Natalie Lauren’s hook from the similarly named song “Before Goodbye” from the album Circa MMXI by High Society Collective (HiSoC), of which Swoope and Lauren are both members.
[Intro: Swoope]
I don't really know what I'm doing here
But it feels good, yeah
It's just me and you in here
And it feels good, yeah
[Verse 1: Swoope]
I remember those late summer nights, talking 'till we both fall asleep on the phone
Voice like honey, tastes so right, baby girl sounded so sweet on the phone
Now yesterday done turned to tonight, and she calling me just to see if I'm home
I said nah, I'm finna step out, she said, "What's the fun of cheating alone?"
[Hook: Natalie Lauren]
Baby I want you, want you, want you, why don't you want me?
You ain't gotta ask, I'll be bad, as long as you're good to me
Come inside, say goodnight (x2)
I don't really know what I'm doing here
Come inside, say goodnight (x2)
I don't really know what I'm doing here
[Verse 2: Swoope]
What I'm supposed to do when you're flaunting that dress that looks right on your hips
Walking the dress up to right where I live, ringing my bell, then you start knocking
H-Town, you thinking Doc Martin's
I'm standing with my hand on the knob, finna open up the door and plan your response
Thinking that I ain't gon' get caught if it stays in the dark but that ain't what my grandmomma taught
It all comes to the light huh? Everything done with the lights off
Baby girl said that's an easy switch, just do everything with the lights on
Everything she speaks so free throw, on point even though I know it's kinda foul
Was my shot to pass, I missed it, I'm such a sinner, why I keep letting my guard down?
She ain't playing no games in that Vicky's Secrets, we ain't playing no games, why you call it cheating?
You know I got a wife but you in my head, you said "Never tell and we'll call it even"
Call it sneaking, making love, we can call it sleeping together, whatever as long as you don't call it evil
It's a good thing, nah, it's a crime of passion, no way I can call it legal
But uh, it's just one, I ain't gotta have it all, just some
It's no harm, it's just fun and I'm down, so what's up?
[Bridge: Swoope]
I don't really know what I'm doing here
But it feels good, yeah
It's just me and you in here
And it feels good, yeah
Now I'm involved, happened so fast, all in a rush
Funny how this friendship evolved to a guilty conscience from an innocent crush
Now I'm an addict, now I gotta have it
I'm feeling those matters, I can't get enough
Now this attraction is bound to be captive, made me a slave, I'm craving this lust
[Hook: Natalie Lauren]
Baby I want you, want you, want you, why don't you want me?
You ain't gotta ask, I'll be bad, as long as you're good to me
Come inside, say goodnight, yeah (x3)
Why won't you come inside, say goodnight, yeah
[Verse 3: Swoope]
Yeah
Thinking about my life, fighting against remorse, thinking about my wife, fighting against divorce
Tried to check my insides bruh, thought this wrestle was minor, uh
Now I'm fighting for kids in court
Tried to stop this, coz I ain't wanna start wars
Now I'm fighting against the force
Screaming at the top of our lungs like it's The Voice, reverse
I don't want you, of course, the curse
Of the human heart
No matter how much I try to silence it
I'm still hearing my insides saying
[Hook 2: Natalie Lauren and Swoope]
Come inside, say goodnight (x2)
I don't really know what I'm doing here
Come inside, say goodnight (x2)
I don't really know what I'm doing here
