Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby girl (Baby girl, take ya time) Baby girl, take ya time
(Please don't rush to go) Please don't rush and go
(I can never let you leave) I can never let you leave
(And I don't wanna have to see you go)
[Verse 2]
No, no, I can't let you go
No, no, I can't let you go
No, no, I can't let you go
No, no, I can't let you go
[Verse 3]
Im the life of the party, the flashy dude on the scene
I had the way with the ladies since the age of thirteen
See, I go city to city and it's the same ol' thang
Dis girl, dat girl, so many beautiful queens
Now, I can't say me fightin' temptations ain't hard
But, I never let another chick come tear us apart
Girl, you know you got yo name tattooed on my heart
Real talk, that's how I feel, you been my lady from the start
[Verse 4]
(Baby girl, take ya time) Baby girl, take ya time
(Please don't rush to go) Please don't rush and go
(I can never let you leave) I can never let you leave
(And I don't wanna have to see you go)
[Verse 5]
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, ever gonna let you go
[Verse 6]
Baby girl, don't leave, I need somebody right here to help smooth things out
Like comin' off the road from tourin' to a happy house
See, that's what I'm talkin' about, I'm givin' you the benefit of the doubt
You gettin' all mad and got me sleepin' on the couch
You tryin' to get chicken, but right here, girl, you got steak
Stop tryin' to break up somethin' good, you gotta have faith
'Cause it's in God's hands, plus, I'm bein' a bigger man
And I'm a veteran, come on, girl, give me one more chance
[Verse 7]
(Baby girl, take ya time) Baby girl, take ya time
(Please don't rush to go) Please don't rush and go
(I can never let you leave) I can never let you leave
(And I don't wanna have to see you go)
[Verse 8]
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, ever gonna let you go
[Verse 9]
You was there before the da deal, me and you was like Jack and Jill
All I wanted was a varsity jacket and a yearbook to remember the years
See, you stopped believin' in me when I needed you the most
Now you want a weddin' ring, the most I propose is a toast
I was beggin' you to stay, pleadin' with you not to leave
But you left me anyway and all that I could do is grieve
I thought I needed ya, thought I couldn't be nothin' without ya
Now I'm the one you beggin' to, because I made it without ya
[Verse 10]
Ooh, you're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're on my mind all the time
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're on my mind all the time
[Verse 11]
(Baby girl, take ya time) Baby girl, take ya time
(Please don't rush to go) Please don't rush and go
(I can never let you leave) I can never let you leave
(And I don't wanna have to see you go)
[Verse 12]
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, I can't let you go
No, no, never, never, ever, gonna let you go
