Been a while since I been home
It took a second 'cause my baby don't know—I
Been so hesitant, I'm such a no show—why?

If you can realize
You say I never fight
Why do you want me to?

But why you gotta take so long?
[Verse 3]

People say it's crazy now
Honestly it feels the same

No need to plan a ride when we get down.
[Chorus]
It's been a while since I've been home
It took a second 'cause my baby don't know—I
Been so hesitant, I'm such a no show—why?
My baby got fed up with my ego, oh
Oh—wasn't even wishin' to be known worldwide
Figured it was better than the southern life
