Love is life and life is living
It's very special
All my love

Oh
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go (yeah)
Baby, don't go, uh
(Don't go) baby, don't go (yeah) (come talk to me)
Baby, don't go
(I understand, just chillin') baby, don't go
Yeah, yeah (why you act like that?)

It's such a shame, but I'm leaving (leaving)
Can't take the way you mistreated me (treated me)
And it's crazy, but oh, baby (come on) (yo, uh, uh, uh)
It don't matter, whatever, don't phase me
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, man

Well, I'm bouncing and I'm out, son (what you want baby)
I gotta leave you alone (come on now)
'Cause I'm good holding down my spot
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (don't go baby)
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right? (Come on, baby)

All my pride is all I have
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 alone
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 (oh yeah)

The nights I waited up for you (oh, boy)
Promises you made about coming through
So much time you wasted (uh, uh, uh)
That's why I had to replace you
It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down
Especially me, I was creeping all over town (creepin')
I thought my tender touch could lock you down (yeah)
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 angry, come here, I'll prove it now, come here (come here)

Stop playing
You gamin'
I gotta leave you alone (what you want now?)

'Cause I'm good holding down my spot (stop acting like that)
And I'm good reppin' the girls on the block (now you know you need to stop)
And I'm good, I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right (here we go)

All my pride is all I have
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 alone
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 (oh yeah)

People make mistakes to make up, to break up
To wake up cold and lonely, chill, baby, you know me (oh)
You love me, I'm like your homey instead of beef you 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 I'm good) (chill, baby)
And nothing will ever be the same, so just be on your way (and I'm good)
Go ahead and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you know (come on now)
I know your game and I'm feeling what you do (come on now) (and I'm good)
So I'm bouncing and I'm out, son (and I'm good)
I gotta leave you alone, yeah, yeah (don't bounce, don't bounce, don't bounce baby)

All my pride is all I have (don't bounce baby, don't bounce baby, don't bounce baby)
Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have
You'll be needing me, but too bad (don't bounce baby)
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh

All my pride is all I have (don't bounce baby)
Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have (baby don't go)
You'll be needing me, but too bad (you're everything to me)
Be easy, don't make decisions when you mad (you mean everything to me, baby)
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own (and we all make mistakes, you know what I'm sayin')
Here with me you had a home, oh, yeah (I still love you, baby)
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone, huh (I'll always love you baby)

I promise you
You know what I'm sayin' (all my, all my, all my love)
You just gotta give me a little time, baby
