4 Minutes

Hold up, hold up

Slow down, slow down

Listen, give me ten minutes

Well, gimme five minutes

Alright, but before you leave, I just need these last 4 minutes

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

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

Who are these people I don't know

In my house and they scratching my floors

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 that I had off in the streets?

Nevermind 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 seconds

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'm a changed man

'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

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

I only got 4 minutes

Oh, I got 4

And I'm running out of time

I only got 4 minutes, only 4 minutes

Ooh, ooh

I only got 4 minutes

In 4 minutes, I'll never have my girl again

In 4 minutes, I'ma 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 tell you everything I love about you

4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live

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
