Can't Leave Em Alone
Ciara Lyrics

I'm focused, man (Darkchild)
I am fully committed to my goal, with Darkchild's support

You should know this, man
You are aware of my determination

Just one dose of me will have you addicted
My presence is irresistible and captivating

To know me is to love me, I handle my business
Once you understand and experience my capabilities, you will appreciate and admire me

Any city, any town, touch down, I do my thing
I am confidently capable of success anywhere I go

I'm a hustler, baby, I provide by any means
I am a hard-working go-getter who will do whatever it takes to provide for myself and those I care about

I'm a great conversation, you should know what I'm 'bout
I am engaging and interesting to talk to, and you should make an effort to understand who I am

When you look at me, baby, you should see a way out
I am an example of a way out of negative situations, and you should see me as a source of hope and inspiration

Out the hood, out the drama, out the Bentley, it's all
I am leaving behind the negative influences and situations of my past and moving on to a better life

Out the headache and stress you done been through before
I am no longer causing you distress and frustration like others have in the past

It's only been three months and I already got it bad
I have fallen deeply for someone in a very short amount of time

So hood that I keep on comin' back
Their rough background and mannerisms keep drawing me back to them

My girlfriends telling me I don't know how to act
My friends are telling me that I am not acting in a rational manner

But I'm tellin' them, baby, bye, fall back
I am disregarding my friends' advice and pushing them away

He's so good, and he knows how to love me
My partner is wonderful to me and understands how to show love

But so hood, and he's so heavy in the streets
However, my partner still has rough mannerisms and is heavily involved in criminal activities

He's my dude, and you better get used to things
He is my partner, and you should accept that

And I don't care what you say about me
I am unbothered by what others think of me

That he does it with the best, runs it in the west
People say my partner is highly capable and successful in illegal activities in the Western United States

Tatted on his chest (uh huh)
His tattoos are a symbol of his affiliations and activities

I like it (so what), I like it
I am attracted to my partner's roughness and criminal activities, despite the consequences

And they say (that he's gonna hurt me)
Others are warning me that my partner will cause me emotional or physical harm

Just wait and see (but they don't know me)
I am confident that my decision to be with my partner will turn out fine, and others cannot judge me accurately

'Cause I am what he wants his girl and I love it
I am the type of partner my partner wants, and I am happy to fulfill that role

See when I had a good guy he didn't do that much for me
When I was with a well-behaved partner, they did not do as much to please or satisfy me

Tried to be hard but that he could never be
They attempted to act tough, but were not actually capable of it

Always tell me that no one could compare to me
They were always complimenting and admiring me

But couldn't handle it when other guys was staring at me
My partner became jealous and insecure when other men showed interest in me

Now the top lays back so everyone could look at me
Now I am in a position of status and attention, and others admire me more due to my partner's criminal activities

From the A to hills up in Beverly
I am successful and respected in both urban and wealthy areas

He's so fly that he knows how to carry me
My partner is confident and charming enough to handle me

First class when they talk we don't hear what they say
We are above the judgement and opinions of others

The more I get, the more my ambition tells there's more
As I achieve more, I become more motivated to continue achieving

I'll move an eighth for that girl, I'll move a half for that boy
I am willing to sell drugs for my significant other

Then I flip that,double up, kick back, cuddle up
After selling drugs, I relax and enjoy life with my partner

Your friends try to confuse but you know what
Your friends attempt to dissuade you, but you know what you want

My intentions are good, I can't help it I'm hood
I have good intentions, but my upbringing and surroundings have influenced me to value criminal activities and attitudes

I wouldn't change if I could, you shouldn't tell me I should
I am comfortable with who I am and do not want to change, and you should not try to persuade me otherwise

Baby you should take me as I am
You should accept me for who I am

An be happy you're my girl 'cause I'm happy I'm your man
We are both happy in our relationship, so you should not try to change me

If he gets caught, it just takes one call
If my partner gets caught committing crimes, they have connections that can help them get out of trouble

I'll come running, boy I promise I will be there here you
I am loyal to my partner and will support them in times of need

All my heart it belongs to you
I am deeply in love with my partner

I can't lose you, boy I just can't leave you alone
I cannot bear the thought of losing my partner and will continue to be with them, even if it means staying involved in criminal activities

I can't leave 'em alone
I cannot resist my attraction to my partner and their criminal lifestyle

I tried that good boy game
I attempted to be with a well-behaved partner, but it did not satisfy me

But the dope boy's turning me on
I am turned on by my partner's involvement in illegal drug activities

It's just that he know what I want
My partner understands my desires and how to fulfill them

So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
My attraction to my partner and their criminal lifestyle is so intense that I cannot walk away from them
