Leave Her Alone
Freeway/Memphis Bleek/Nate Dogg/Young Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
Never leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Never leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Never leave me alone

[Nate Dogg]
They tell me that temptation, oh, is very hard to resist
You tell me that you want me, i tried to hide my feelings, d-o-gs
Ain't supposed to feel like this
You can call it what you want to, but I don't even know what it is
You've got me singing in the morning, you bring me breakfast in my bed
And when it hurts you rub my head
Ill ask you one time only, baby, wont you be there when its hectic
When I don't have a hit record (never leave me alone)

[Chorus]

[Nate Dogg]
Ive traveled so many places, I've seen so many faces
There were times I didn't think Id make it through (alone)
I went through so many phases, that got me so many cases
Three strikes you're gonna then what you gonna do
I guess Ill call my lady, and tell her to kiss my baby
They tell me that crime is all I know how to do
Tell him his daddy's sorry, let him know all about me
There's one more thing Id really like for you to do

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg]
Somebody was naughty when they snitched on me
A'm mobbing through the county mainline
Back in 9500 just trying to handle mine
Spitting game at the homies about the good ol days
As we try to pass time waiting for the chain to chino
I see no reason to cry but I miss my baby boo
And my nigga spanky too
Its true that the dirt I did from an o.g. to a snotty nose kid
Got me caught up in the rapture like maze days gone by
And real gs gon cry
But I try to walk the yard with my head to the sky
And hope my baby boo ain't fucking niggas on the outside
But whats the chance it ain't cracking
If I was out and she was in Id probably be macking
I cant lie
So I say I would now my girl in a world of player hood
A player should show a nigga love and look our
But the niggas I know would probably turn your ass out
So keep away better yet stay away
And hope I get out one day, OK
But if I don't I guess this is home
My girl is tripping she got a block on the phone





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Leave Her Alone" is a collaboration between Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Nate Dogg, and Young Chris. The chorus is sung by Nate Dogg, who pleads with his lover never to leave him alone. Nate Dogg confesses how temptation is hard to resist but he still tries to hide his feelings because it's not right for a dog (a player) to catch feelings. However, the lady sings in the morning, brings breakfast to his bed, and he rubs his head when it hurts. He asks her to always be there when things get hectic in his life and even when he doesn't have a hit record. In the second verse, Nate Dogg reflects on his life's journey, how he's been in so many places and seen so many faces. He's had it all, been through so many cases, and still going through phases. He tells his lady to tell his baby about him, and he would really appreciate it.


Snoop Dogg's verse delves deeper into the theme of men asking their women not to leave them alone while they're behind bars. Snoop is nostalgic, reflecting on good old days and spitting game to pass the time as he waits for his chain to go to Chino. He misses his baby boo and his friend Spanky but has no reason to cry. He knows his girl could be "f#@king niggas" on the outside, and he would not blame her. He confesses that he, too, would probably be "macking" if he was out, but he hopes his girl would show him love and look out for him. He advises his girl to stay away from the player hood and hope he gets out one day, but if he doesn't, then jail is his home.
