Baby girl
Baby girl, take ya time
Please don't rush to go
I can never let you leave
And I don't wanna have to see 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
No, no, I can't let you go
See, I'm the life of the party, the flashy dude on the scene
I had the way with the ladies since the age of 13
See, I go to city to city and it's the same ol' thang
Dis girl, dat girl, so many beautiful queens
Now, I can't say that me fightin' temptation ain't hard
But I never let another chick come tear us apart
You know you got ya name tattooed on my heart
Real talk, that's how I feel, you been my lady from the start
Baby girl, take ya time
Please don't rush to go
I can never let you leave
And I don't wanna have to see 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
No, no, I can't let you go
Baby girl, don't leave I need somebody right here
To help smooth things out
Like comin' home off the road from tourin' to a happy house
See, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'm givin' you the benefit of the doubt
You gettin' all mad an' 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, ya gotta have faith
'Coz it's in God's hands, plus I'm being a bigger man
An' I'm a veteran, come on, girl, give me one more chance
Baby, girl, take ya time
Please don't rush to go
I can never let you leave
And I don't wanna have to see 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
No, no, I can't let you go
You was there before da deal, me an' you was like 'Jack and Jill'
All I wanted was a varsity jacket
An' 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' wit you not to leave
But you left me anyway an' all that I can do is grieve
I thought I needed you, thought I couldn't be nothin' without you
Now I'm the one you beggin' to because I made it without you
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 me soul
You're on my mind all the time
Baby, girl, take ya time
Please don't rush to go
I can never let you leave
And I don't wanna have to see 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
No, no, I can't let you go
