Can't Let You Go
Fabolous Lyrics

Baby girl
Addressing or calling his lover.

You know my situation
He is explaining to his lover that he is already in a committed relationship.

And sometimes I know you get impatient
He understands that she might get impatient with their situation.

But you don't put to on a show to get ovations
She doesn't have to pretend or show off to impress him.

Take it to court and go through litigation's
She won't have to fight or argue with him, just accept his situation.

And I respect ya gangsta
He respects her toughness or coolness in handling their situation.

Treat you like a princess
He treats her with love and respect.

And put some' on your neck to thank ya
He rewards her with gifts to appreciate her loyalty.

She's my pinch hitter
She is his go-to girl when his primary relationship is not working.

When the starting lineup ain't playing right
His primary relationship is not working well sometimes.

I come off the bench with her
He seeks comfort or support from his lover when his primary relationship is not working.

It might sound like I'm gassing ya
He is aware that he might be misrepresenting his feelings towards her.

But it took time to get from the back seat to the passenger
Their relationship took time to develop, and he appreciates her being his supporter.

We been creeping and sneaking
They are secretly having a relationship.

Just to keep it from leaking
They are keeping their relationship a secret.

We so deep in our freaking
They are deeply involved in their sexual relationship.

That we don't sleep on the weekend
They spend most of their weekends together, engaging in sexual activities.

Wifey
His primary relationship partner or wife.

A little bit uptight
His primary relationship partner is a bit anxious and worried.

Wondering why I coming home in the middle of the night
His primary relationship partner is suspicious of his behavior.

It'll be alright, if y'all bump heads it'll be a fight
He is willing to fight with his primary relationship partner if they get into an argument.

But I said it'll be alright
He believes everything will work out in their relationship.

I really wanna be with you (be with you)
He desires to be in a relationship with her.

But I gotta be real with you (real with you)
But he recognizes that he cannot leave his primary relationship.

I can't leave you alone (no)
He cannot leave his lover or end their relationship.

And I know I'm living wrong
He is aware that having two relationships is not morally right.

You're the one I want in my life (want in my life)
He admits that he loves her and wants her in his life.

I already got a wife (got a wife)
But he is already committed to his primary relationship.

You ain't ever step out of line
He appreciates that his lover has never questioned or complained about their situation.

Or get out a pocket
She has never acted out of place or out of character.

So I made sure canary sent out your locket
He expresses his affection by sending her a valuable gift.

To protect you, I'll get out and cock it
To make her feel safe, he is willing to fight or use his weapon.

And you know the barrel of my gun is big enough to spit out a rocket
He has a powerful weapon to protect her if necessary.

Oh, you gon' play dumb if cops do come through
He trusts that she will act smart if they are caught by the law or his primary partner.

I gotta keep the top up if my drop do come through
He has to keep the roof of his car closed if he drives with her around town to avoid being seen by others.

But I know the boutiques and the shops you run through
He knows her shopping habits and preferences.

So I cop her one, and cop you one too
To please both women, he buys them each an expensive gift.

You always get a daily page, weekly ring
He stays in touch with her regularly, either by phone or text messages.

Plus you ain't too shy to do them freaky things
He appreciates her sexual openness and willingness to experiment.

I ain't gotta put a band on your finger
He is not ready to marry or commit to her fully.

Or worry about you telling the whole world I'm your man while I spring her
He is concerned that she might reveal their relationship to others.

At first you were something I denied
Initially, he resisted having a relationship with her.

Something I would slide
He was treating their relationship as a fling or a casual affair.

Just do something in the ride
They used to hook up only in his car.

But shorty
He refers to her as an endearment.

There's something you provide
He realized that she gives him something that his primary relationship partner cannot.

'Cause the entree ain't as good without something on the side, you know?
He cannot enjoy his primary relationship without having her on the side.

Uh oh, I might be leaving the earth soon
He is worried that his behavior might get him into trouble with his primary relationship partner or the law.

My girl gon' kill me if she smell the scent of your perfume
His primary relationship partner will be upset if she discovers his lover's scent on him.

It's gon' be a clip tossed if I go back
He will get into trouble if he goes back to his primary relationship partner smelling like his lover's perfume.

With stains of your lip gloss on my throwback
He has marks or traces of his lover's lip gloss on his clothes.

She won't care if I'm a platinum rapper
His primary relationship partner will not care about his fame or success.

If she catch me with an empty Magnum wrapper
She will be upset if she finds a used condom that he used with his lover.

So keep it on the down low, call the car celly
To avoid being caught by his primary relationship partner, he asks his lover to keep their relationship secret and to use a disposable phone.

You seen what happened with Mr. Big and R. Kelly
He refers to the publicized scandals involving music industry figures, where infidelity or sexual misconduct was exposed.

You know I care for you (care for you)
He does care about his lover.

And anytime this chick is there for you (there for you)
He appreciates that she is there for him when he needs her.

These feelings I'ma share with you
He wants to express his affection and feelings to her.

Which makes it a little more clear for you
He hopes that his confession will make things clearer to her and help her understand their situation better.
