Can't Leave 'Em Aone
Ciara (featuring 50 Cent) Lyrics

I'm focused, man
I am driven and determined.

You should know this, man
You should be aware of my ambitions and capabilities.

Yes, one dose of me will have you addicted
Once you get to know me, you will want more of me.

To know me is to love me; I handle my business
I am efficient and competent; once you get to know me, you will appreciate me.

Any city, any town; touch down, I do my thing
I can thrive in any environment.

I'm a hustler, baby; I provide by any means
I am resourceful and will do whatever it takes to succeed.

I'm a great conversationalist; you should know what I'm about
I am articulate and can express my thoughts well, and you should try to understand my values and beliefs.

When you look at me, baby, you should see a way out
When you see me, you should see a better path and a brighter future.

Out the hood, out the drama, out the Bentley that's on
I want to leave behind the negative environment, conflicts and finesse the kind of lifestyle I deserve.

Out the headache and stress you done been through before
I want to remove the burden and the pain of the past experiences from our lives.

It's only been three months and I already got it bad
I have fallen hard for him, and it's only been a short while.

So hood that I keep on comin' back
His street smart character and style keeps drawing me to him.

My girlfriends telling me I don't know how to act
My friends believe that I am not making wise decisions when it comes to him.

But I'm tellin' them, baby, bye, fall back
I'm respectfully advising my friends to stay out of my business.

He's so good, and he knows how to love me
He treats me well, and he knows how to show me affection.

But so hood, and he's so heavy in the streets
He has a tough guy persona and is well respected in the streets.

He's my dude, and you better get used to things
He's my man, and you should accept that he's a part of my life.

And I don't care what you say about me
I am confident in myself and don't let other people's opinions affect me.

That he does it with the best, runs it in the west
He is successful in his endeavors and excels in the west coast.

Padding on his chest (uh-huh)
He is proud of his accomplishments.

I like it (so what), I like it
I am aware of his risky lifestyle, but I still like him.

And they say (that he's gonna hurt me)
Some people think he will cause me harm.

Just wait and see (but they don't know me)
Just because others think he will hurt me, they don't know me well enough to have such an opinion.

Cause I am what he wants, his girl and I love it
He considers me his girl, and I feel great about it.

I can't leave him alone
I am not able to walk away from him.

I tried that good boy game
I have attempted to be with a responsible guy in the past.

But the dope boys turning me on
I get attracted to the bad boys.

It's just that he know what I want
He understands my desires and satisfies my needs.

So bad, I love that; I can't leave him alone
I love that he can give me what I want, and I can't imagine leaving him.

The more I get, the more my ambition tells there's more
The more successful I become, the more motivated I am to aim higher.

I'll move a A for that girl, I'll move ahead on that boy
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make things work with him.

Then I flip that (double up) kick back (cuddle up)
I will take care of business, then relax and enjoy his company.

Ya friends try to confuse, but you know what
Your friends may try to mislead you, but you know better.

My intentions are good; I can't help it I'm hood
I have good motives, but sometimes my desire for the street life is too hard to resist.

I wouldn't change if I could; you shouldn't tell me I should
I am happy with who I am and don't appreciate others telling me to change.

Baby, you should take me as I am
You should accept me for who I am, flaws and all.

And be happy you're my girl 'cause I'm happy I'm ya man
Be happy to be with me because I am happy to be with you.

I can hear your call; it just takes one call
I am always available to you; just contact me.

I'll come running, boy; I promise I will be there for you
I will come to you as soon as I can and be by your side.

All my heart, it belongs to you
My heart is entirely yours.

I can't lose you, boy; I just can't leave you alone
I cannot bear the thought of losing you, and I cannot resist your charm.
