I can't leave you alone
You got me feenin' (feenin', feenin')
Got me going crazy

Yeah, yeah

You got me feenin'
And I'm thinking and I'm dreaming about your love (that's real)
Double cup how I'm drinkin' (yeah)
Oh girl you got me feenin' (what?)
Yes ma'am, come move into my palace (yeah)
Then let me change your address
I can't

I cannot leave you alone
She said, "Call me when you be alone"
42 I don't drink no Patron
I can't wait 'til I get you alone (you got me feenin')
I can't wait 'til you get out them clothes
Got your nails done and they matchin' your toes
I'm tryna be committed, ma
Just let me hit it before I get back on this road (oh yeah)
She text my phone say she all alone
And she got a room at the Westend (that's real)
I hope she got over that attitude
I tried to send a DM to her best friend (that's real)
She left my name at the front desk
Got an extra key when she checked in (oh, oh)
No panties on, only sweats (ooh, ooh)
I know we 'bout to make a mess (Oh, oh, yeah)
I don't wanna sound like I need you
But it's so hard to leave you alone
I was thirsty for the kill for real, it feel like I needed the bone
Two numbers just to keep in touch
It be so hard to keep up with phones (whoa, whoa, whoa)
It be so hard to get out my zone (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Three car garage and new key to my home
I like to fuck her to Jodeci (yeah)
She down to ride if I gotta slide (yeah)
Fuck it I might let her go with me
Go put on some clothes you could roll with me (oh, oh)
This time I do not got the bro with me
She get on top of me, she started chokin' me

Then let me change your address (your address)

I can't leave you alone (leave you alone)
You got me feenin' (feenin', feenin')
And I'm drinkin', double cup thinkin' about your love

I hope she can see that I'm grown
Her body got me in the zone (can't leave her alone)
(The zone)
We ain't gotta speak on the phone (don't gotta speak on phone)
As soon as I see her it's on (can't leave her alone)
I like to look at it while I'm up in it, these lights we keeping 'em on
She got tired of sleepin' alone (alone)
On God I can't leave her alone (right)
I do not wanna leave her alone
Her body got me in the zone (can't leave her alone)
We ain't gotta speak on the phone
As soon as I see her it's on (can't leave her alone)

Pack your bag and catch a flight
Rub you down with oils, ain't no need for paramedics
