Waddup Ashanti?
Heyyy
Mmm mmmmmm
Dont leave me alone [x3]
Boy wont you just lay with me stay with me,
I would love it if you had your way with me, 'cause I just...
Cant get enough of your touch.
You do the things I need to me so much,
I dont wanna let you leave, I dont wanna go,
So... dont leave me alone [x3]
Ooooooo
Now if I could just be wit you, breathe wit you, if you woulda asked me
I would leave with you I would go... around the globe as long as I know
I will be right by your side wherever you go I aint gonna let you leave
I dont wanna let you go, ooh I need you here with me
Dont leave me alone
(I dont wanna leave you alone)
Dont leave me alone
(I dont wanna see you go)
Dont leave me alone [x2]
Wherever you go... I will follow
Dont leave me alone


'cause I dont wanna be alone... I dont wanna let you go
Dont leave me alone

ONE OF THE REASONS I DON'T EVER WANNA BE ALONE
IS THAT I LIKE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I'M IN YOUR ARMS
IT FEELS LIKE HOME
WHERE I BELONG
Ohh baby baby
'cause my heart smiles from inside out, only you can do it to me baby, you can do it to me so... I cant leave you alone
Dont leave me alone
I just wanna be in ur arms all night long
Dont leave me alone
I just wanna be in ur arms all night long
Dont leave me alone
Ooooooooooo
Ooo ooooh baby baby baby oooh baby baby baby
Be alone.....
Dont leave me alone
Dont leave me alone
I just wanna be in your arm
Dont leave me alone.....

So I'm gone close my eyes
And I'm gone live my life
Despite what you think I'm be free
Cause I'm be me.(2x's)
(Verse 1)
See I ain't never think that I would have a situation, where the people around me just envy I must replace them. See I always thought that the people that watched me grow, would want to see me blow, fo'sho but little did I know. They ain't never really wanna see me smiling, they could'nt take the fact that I was really shining. And in my heart I know they wishing I would stop, cause they don't want me to rise and be on top. And all that jealousy and hate, could be right in front of your face, and it's gon hurt for you to see, but it ain't your fault so just let it be.
So I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'm gonna live my life
Despite what you think I'm be free
Cause I'm be me.(2x)
See everybody wanna have something to talk about, so they pointing their fingers and always running they mouth. No matter how you try to satisfy someone else, giving so much of yourself, your love, but its never enough. The more you give the more want, and they ain't happy, and they dont see all that you do to make em happy, they dont appreciate it untill you walk away, but you dont wanna hear it by now it's to late.
And all that jealousy and hate, could be right in front of your face, and its gon hurt for you to see, but it aint your fault just let it be.


So I'm gone close my eyes
And I'm gone live my life
Despite what you think I'm be free
Cause I'm be me.(2x)
What they don't understand is that I'm gonna keep livin my life and surving, and I'm gonna keep pushing and striving and climbing and grinding, 'cause aint no time to be crying, I been providing with the strength to carry my weight(carry my weight)
And I'm gonna be ok(I'm gone be ok), 'cause I'm gone live my life my way, you can say what you wanna say.It won't affect the way I'm living I'm winning by being free again(yeah)
So I'm gone close my eyes
And I'm gone live my life
Despite what you think I'm be free
Cause I'm be me.(2x)

[Intro: R. Kelly]

Huuuummma€|ha, ha, ha, huuummma€|.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]

If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels

And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.

Would you still want me (Want you)?

Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?

You be loving me (I'll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?

[Verse 1: Ja Rule]

Wanna keep you flawed with no dough?

Pimpin' ain't easy. Trust me I know.

When gangstas' and hos',

Go, go, go, go, go, go together like chinchilla and bad weather,

I'm good but been better.

All my bros, chedda and glamorous things, copped a few cars.

A crib with a east and west wing.

Cause this is how I'm livin' and y'all women know the secrets of how to get it and keep it, how to prey on my weakness,

Cause I want the P-U-S-S-Y.

Got a lotta niggaz wonderin' it ain't just I,

Gotta keep ya cash comin' and that's on my life.

If it wasn't for the money and the things I got,

Shit, she probably wouldn't like me.

But I keep her and Irv and Jeffrey quite icy

Sip seraphin'.

Who doesn't like me and the Murderous I-N-C?

[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]

If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels

And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.

Would you still want me (Want you)?

Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?

You be loving me (I'll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?

[Verse 2: Ja Rule (R. Kelly)]

I wonder why love is about money

and why you wanna take it all from me?

Honey,

My life is dark but its lovely.

Crimes, cars, cribs.

Ain't that right Kelly

( Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!)?

Y'all bitches don't know,

Money ain't a thang.

Mami need a lil' change,

Girl, I'm pitchin' quarters.

Closest to the arches but live in a fortress.

New Benzes, new Porsches,

New cases, new lawyers.

I'm becoming the infamous Notorious Rule.

Niggas', couldn't walk a mile in my shoes,

Niggas' don't possess the heart that I do.

And it's a wonder that I'm still here (Gaw.),

Thought I was gone but I'm still here (Gaw.),

And all you bitches that left me here (OH!),

It's kinda funny (OH!) how you (OH!) right back there

(OH!).

[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]


If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels

And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.

Would you still want me (Want you)?

Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?

You be loving me (I'll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?

[R. Kelly (Ashanti), and {Irv Gotti}]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (mmmma€|)!

Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeaha€|)!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh (owwwa€|)!

Oh, oh, oh, oh (hey-yeah, mmmma€|)!

{Ashantia€|}

[Verse 3 (Leads into Verse #4): Ashanti & (R. Kelly)]

Now, how many nights does it take to make you,

belive my love, through all these years?

Done had yo' kids.

How could you wonder, hey-yeah?

See, I was wit' you through the rain and thunder,

And all that cryin' and that pain who-cha-run to

Now, tell me baby, do you still wonder, hey-yeah?

a€?Cause I'm that chick from I-N-C;

Some try to front, but then, chicks ain't me.

[Bridge: Ashanti]

Straight to the top, y'all all gon' see; all my ladies say uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh.

[Verse 4: Ashanti & (R. Kelly)]

It's no wonder why we still here (Gaw.,)

And all this hatin' and we still here (Gaw)

You didn't think that we would be here (OH!),

Ain't (OH!) no mistakin', this is (OH!) our year

(OH!).

[Chorus: R. Kelly and (Ashanti)]

If it wasn't for the money, cars and movies stars and jewels

And all these things I got, I wonder, hey.

Would you still want me (Want you)?

Would you still be calling me (Still calling you)?

You be loving me (I'll be loving you, uhhh-uhhh-uhhh-uhhh)?

[Outro: R. Kelly]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!
