Overall Meaning

In this song, Jay Love is asking a woman if she is willing to leave her current partner to be with him instead. The chorus repeats the question "Are you leaving with me?" multiple times, indicating that Jay Love is quite insistent on knowing what her decision will be. The pre-hook describes the situation they are currently in, standing in VIP (presumably a nightclub) and Jay Love touching her body. He seems to be very attracted to her and wants her to make up her mind quickly.

The rest of the lyrics suggest that the woman is a bit of a rebel, "not playing by the rules." Jay Love, however, is willing to do whatever it takes to be with her. The song suggests a sense of urgency and desire, with Jay Love seemingly unable to resist the woman's appeal. The lyrics, though quite simple, convey a sense of lust and recklessness.

Overall, "Leavin'" is a classic R&B track about the pursuit of love, specifically the pursuit of someone who may be taken. It's a catchy track with a definite dance vibe and a good melody, and it's easy to see why it would be popular in the club scene.
