Before I Let You Go
Blackstreet Lyrics
Hey, here comes Sherry
What's up with her and her homeboy?
Don't know, man
One minute they're kicking and one minute they're not
I know what it's gonna take
What? That one kiss goodnight, that's it
1-Before I let you go, before I let you go
Can I get a kiss, goodnight, baby (2)
Lately, I've been thinking something's going wrong
'Cause you got an attitude
And you're not in the mood like you used to
Girl, I can feel it when I hold you in my arms
The feeling is not the same
Can I be the one to blame?
2-I don't want to lose your love, mmm
I don't want to say bye-bye, oh no no
True love is so hard to find
And it's right between your lips and mine, and mine
(rpt 1, 1)
Turn the lights down low
Let's take it nice and slow
My mission is to keep you mine
Don't want this to be the last time
We make sweet love
Baby, I know you feel it, too
It's bigger than the both of us
There's one thing I'm so certain of
(rpt 2)
It's always the little things, I remember
And I can't just let it slip away
Slip away (rpt 1)
Teddy, won't you play the music for me
Teddy, won't you play Backstreet side?
Baby I get so lonely
Sometimes, I...
Baby my heart is broken sometimes
I need you right now, I don't...
I can't let you slip away, slip away
(rpt 1)
I don't see it being a problem
If I just get one little bitty kiss baby...
I just can't let you get away, oh yeah...
Lord, have mercy...
I don't want lose your sweet love
So don't say good-bye, say good-night

The band members were: Teddy Riley, Chauncey Hannibal, Eric Williams, and Terrell Philips (and formerly Joe Stonestreet, Levi Little, David Hollister, and Mark Middleton). Their debut album, Blackstreet, was a moderate success due to the singles "Booti Call" and "Before I Let You Go", both Top 40 hits ("Before" hit the Top 10). The follow-up, 1996's Another Level was a breakthrough success due to the top single "No Diggity" (with Dr. Dre), which was a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1996, and won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, along with the Top 40 hit "Don't Leave Me". Another Level eventually went four times platinum in the United States and peaked at #3 on the Billboard chart. "No Diggity" is ranked at #91 on Rolling Stone and MTV: 100 Greatest Pop Songs, while Blackstreet comes in at #214 of the Top 500 Pop Artists of the Past 25 Years.
Blackstreet has also collaborated with Jay-Z on his single "The City is Mine". With the help of the Janet Jackson single "Girlfriend", Blackstreet finally had a top ten album with Finally. But personnel shifts wracked the group and contributed to the relative failure of Finally in 1999, and Blackstreet soon broke up. After rumors of legal action and a preemptive countersuit, the group re-banded and released Level II in 2003.
In 2006 They are part of New Jack Reunion Tour Line up.
