Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold up, hold up
Slow down, slow down
Listen, give me ten minutes
Well, gimme five minutes
Alright, before you leave, I just need these last 4 minutes
[Verse 2]
Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words
I heard you were leaving town, I thought I'd be the one to know first
If you have a minute, let me talk to you and see what's going on
Don't say it's nothing when it's gotta be something that's gone wrong
Now let me explain, but I don't know what to say
'Cause I don't know what the hell happened
I come in the house to try to work it out and all you're doing is packing
Close your suitcase, let me think straight
Damn, what could be the reason?
Baby, talk to me, I'm almost outta time
[Verse 3]
I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do
To prove to you that I'm gon' do anything
Only got 4 minutes to say what I gotta say
To make you stay and show you that I done changed
'Cause in 4 minutes, I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes, I'ma lose her to some other man
Four, no less, no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
[Verse 4]
Who are these people I don't know
In my house and they scratching my floor
Taking furniture outside and the U-Haul pull up to my door
What's the reason that I get this feeling
That you can't keep it real with me?
Is it 'cause of the prior relationships I had off in the streets?
[Verse 5]
Never mind that, this is your conscience speaking
And you need to get your girl back
You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart
I'm takin' suggestions, I've learned my lesson
Think conscience, you're my last lifeline
I'm down to my last second
[Verse 6]
I only gots 4 minutes to do what I gotta do
To prove to you that I'm gonna do anything
Only got 4 minutes to say what I gotta say
To make you stay and show you that I done changed
'Cause in 4 minutes, I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes, I'ma lose her to some other man, I'll be all alone
For no less, no more
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's ticking
Only got 4 minutes to go
[Verse 7]
I've done, I've done things in my past
I thought this love would last
But I can't let you go, baby
You're my everything, lady
The reason I smile and the reason I talk, baby
The reason I breathe, the only one for me, yeah
You can't go through with this
If you left me, my life wouldn't exist
'Cause I'm still in love with you
And that's my word, I don't give a damn what you heard
Oh, baby, I'll be true
[Verse 8]
I only got 4 minutes
Oh, only got 4
And I'm running out of time
I only got 4 minutes, only 4 minutes
Ooh, ooh
I only got 4 minutes
[Verse 9]
In 4 minutes, I'll never have my girl again
In 4 minutes, Imma lose her to some other man
For no less, no more
And I just can't take it, I don't want it to happen, I won't let it happen
Only got 4 minutes to go
[Verse 10]
Only got 4 minutes to tell you everything I love about you
4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live without you
I'm out of time, gotta say what's on my mind
Just to keep you in my life
Aw, damn, I'm out of time
