Verse 1:]
You kicked your feet up while I played the fool
One too many incidents and now we're through
You wasted my time but lose my cool I won't do that to you
[Verse 2:]
Ha, please I already got the bag packed
Don't tell me that I can't walk out like that
Tryna tame the lion but I'm dying, trying, and crying hard to get past
[Hook 1:]
I thought you were for me, boy
It seems we shouldn't be, but
This is just my little speech so hopefully you'll chase after me
[Chorus:]
And stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
Stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
[Verse 3:]
Ooh, I tried to tell you how I felt but no use
Your ears were open to the stories
'Bout what goes to the truth
At that point in time, what'd you expect me to do
[Verse 4:]
Like, why should I wait
For you to go and get away just escape
Start to take, take a break from the one who was playin
With my heart, all that pain and restraint
From someone who couldn't claim me (no, ohh, ohh)
[Hook 2:]
I wasn't real in to it (ohh, no)
But I found somebody else (for sure)
And if he ever gets this speech
Then hopefully he'll chase after me
[Chorus:]
(And then he'll) stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
Stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
[Music/instrumentals]
[Chorus:]
And then he'll stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
Stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close
Whisper softly,
Baby, please don't leave
Stop me at the door (baby, don't leave)
Hold me extremely close (ohhh)
Whisper softly, (nooo)
Baby, please don't leave (baby don't leave)
Stop me at the door
Hold me extremely close (don't you leave me baby)
Whisper softly, (ohh, don't you leave me baby)
Baby, please don't leave
