Lyrics

[Intro]
Loving life and life is living
It's very special (My love)
Ahhh
Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
Baby, don't go, uh
Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
[Verse 1]
It's such a shame, but I'm leaving (Leaving)
Can't take the way you're mistreating me (Treat me)
And it's crazy, but oh, baby
It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me (Uh, uh, uh,)
I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute, don't bounce baby
Let's talk about this mess
[PreChorus]
Well I'm bouncing, and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone
'Cause I'm good, holding down my spot
And I'm good, repping the girls on the block
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right?
[Chorus]
All my pride is all I have
Your pride is what you had baby girl, I'm what you have
You'll be needing me, but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The path you chose to run along
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone? Huh?
[Verse 2]
Some nights I waited up for you
Promises you made about coming through
So much time you wasted
That's why I had to replace you (Uh, uh, uh)
It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down
Especially me, I was creeping all over town
I thought my tender touch could lock you down
I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
The way you used to giggle right before I put it down
It's better when you're angry
Come here, I'll prove it now, come here
[PreChorus]
Stop playing, you gaming
I gotta leave you alone
'Cause I'm good, holding down my spot
And I'm good, repping the girls on the block
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right?
[Chorus]
All my pride is all I have
Your pride is what you had baby girl, I'm what you have
You'll be needing me, but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The path you chose to run along
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone? Huh?
[Verse 3]
People make mistakes to make up, to break up, to wake up
Cold and lonely chill baby, you know me, you love me
I'm like your homey instead of beefin' come hold me
I promise I'm not a phony
Don't bounce baby, console me, come here
Ain't nothing you can say to me that can change my mind
I gotta let you go now
And nothing will ever be the same so just be on your way
Go ahead and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you know
I know your game, I'm not feeling what you do
[PreChorus]
So I'm bouncing, and I'm out, son
I gotta leave you alone, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
All my pride is all I have
Your pride is what you had baby girl, I'm what you have
You'll be needing me, but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The path you chose to run along
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone? Huh?
[Bridge]
All my pride is all I have
Your pride is what you had baby girl, I'm what you have
You'll be needing me, but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The path you chose to run along
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone? Huh?
[Outro]
I promise you
You know what I'm sayin'?
But you gotta give me a little time though
