Ciara
I'm focused, man (Darkchild)
You should know this, man
Just one dose of me will have you addicted
To know me is to love me, I handle my business
Any city, any town, touch down, I do my thing
I'm a great conversation, you should know what I'm 'bout
When you look at me, baby, you should see a way out
Out the hood, out the drama, out the Bentley, it's all
Out the headache and stress you done been through before
It's only been three months and I already got it bad
So hood that I keep on comin' back
My girlfriends telling me I don't know how to act
But I'm tellin' them, baby, bye, fall back
He's so good, and he knows how to love me
But so hood, and he's so heavy in the streets
He's my dude, and you better get used to things
And I don't care what you say about me
They say
That he does it with the best, runs it in the west
Tatted on his chest (uh huh)
I like it (so what), I like it
And they say (that he's gonna hurt me)
Just wait and see (but they don't know me)
'Cause I am what he wants his girl and I love it
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that good boy game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
See when I had a good guy he didn't do that much for me
Tried to be hard but that he could never be
Always tell me that no one could compare to me
But couldn't handle it when other guys was staring at me
Now the top lays back so everyone could look at me
From the A to hills up in Beverly
He's so fly that he knows how to carry me
First class when they talk we don't hear what they say
That he does it with the best, runs it in the west
Tatted on his chest (uh huh)
I like it (so what), I like it
And they say (that he's gonna hurt me)
Just wait and see (but they don't know me)
'Cause I am what he wants his girl and I love it
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that good boy game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
The more I get, the more my ambition tells there's more
I'll move an eighth for that girl, I'll move a half for that boy
Then I flip that,double up, kick back, cuddle up
Your friends try to confuse but you know what
My intentions are good, I can't help it I'm hood
I wouldn't change if I could, you shouldn't tell me I should
Baby you should take me as I am
An be happy you're my girl 'cause I'm happy I'm your man
If he gets caught, it just takes one call
I'll come running, boy I promise I will be there here you
All my heart it belongs to you
I can't lose you, boy I just can't leave you alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that good boy game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that good boy game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
I can't leave 'em alone
I tried that game
But the dope boy's turning me on
It's just that he know what I want
So bad, I love that, I can't leave 'em alone
The lyrics to Ciara's song "Can't Leave Em Alone" featuring 50 Cent are quite straightforward as the main theme is about it being challenging to let go of a bad boy. Ciara admits that even though she has tried to switch from bad boys to good boys, it doesn't seem to work as she keeps coming back to the bad boys. She describes her attraction to a "dope boy" who satisfies her needs in a way that the "good boy" never could. She argues that no one else can understand what she wants the way this guy does, even though he's not good for her, she can't leave him alone. The verse from 50 Cent adds weight to the argument as he boasts about his ability to satisfy his girlfriend's needs both financially and physically in ways a "good boy" never could.
Ciara's lyrics show that she finds it challenging to kick the bad boy habit. No matter how hard her friends try to make her change her mind and choose a meaningful relationship, she continues to feel attracted to her bad boy lover. Even more, the lyrics acknowledge that her lover is involved in illegal activities, yet she still can't get him off her mind. This song depicts how it is sometimes hard for one to leave an intense relationship, even though the relationship might be harmful to one's well-being.
