Lyrics

Time on my (hands)
Since you been away, boy
I ain't got no plans
No, no, no, no
And the sound of the rain
Against my window pane (is what?)
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane
Boy, I'm goin' (down)
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
Sleep don't come easy
Boy, please, believe me
Since you've been gone (what?)
Everything's goin' wrong (yeah-yeah, why?)
Now, why'd you have to say goodbye? (Look!)
Look what you've done to me (I can't)
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh, baby
I'm goin' (down)
I'm goin' (down)
'Cause (you ain't around), baby
My (whole world's upside down)
Whoa!
New York is in the building (yes)
Yeah, I need all the real Mary J. Blige fans to make some noise!
Oh, boy, I'm goin' down (yeah)
Yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh (I, I)
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
Oh, boy, oh-oh
I'm goin', see, I got too much time on my hands, y'all
I don't know what to do
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Now, I don't know what to do, mm
If I ever lose you
I don't care about losin' you
I don't care about losin' nobody
See, 'cause I'm goin' down, I don't
Hey, hey
I been chasing too much foolishness all my life
And I'm sick and tired of bein' sick and tired, yeah
So, now, I'm goin' down
I'm, I been goin' down too long, too long
Too long, too long, too long
Now, I think I'm a little too strong
Now, I think I'm a little too strong, y'all
Too strong, y'all
Mm, oh, hey-hey, hey-hey
Mm, I'm, I'm goin' down
I, I been goin' down, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, one more, goin' down
And we got up, because we did something that
That-that, that-that, that-that, that, that-that, that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby
