Leave You Alone
Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you feel so good, she said, she said, what if I could?
But I gotta leave you alone, ah
She said I gotta leave you alone
I, she said, I know you bad, but I want you bad
She said, she said, makes me so sad
That I gotta leave you alone
She said, I gotta leave you alone, look, look, look
I got my mind on my money,
All I need is a bad bitch
That I can run through the city spend this cash with
That I can run through this city spend this cash on
Wake up in the morning get my smash on
I don't want much much baby egg whites
Keep your stomach and your thighs and your legs right
While I’m out here focused getting this bread right
But if the head right, Jeezy did it errynight
Wake up in the morning and I'm still here
Wake up in the morning and I ain’t gone
All I ask, let me just do me
And maybe just me and you can get along
Had them other bitches mad when they seen us
Had to match our Rolexes baby team us
Yeah the earth is our turf we can share the world
Maybe even go half on a baby girl
She said, she said, you ain’t no good, no good
But you feel so good, she said, she said, what if I could?
But I gotta leave you alone, ah
She said I gotta leave you alone
I, she said, I know you bad, but I want you bad
She said, she said, makes me so sad
That I gotta leave you alone
She said, I gotta leave you alone, look, look, look
Let me be your mind reader, let me read your mind
And when I’m done with the front, hit it from behind
Love a loyalty never cross the line
Just hit a nigga up when I cross your mind
Show you how to get your own, you won’t be watching mine
Put you up on Jee, show you how to shine
And maybe we can kick it when I got the time
Be my back bone every nigga need a spine
Gotta know you ride with me if I’m right or wrong
Case I wake up in the morning and it’s all gone
Best believe I’ma get it right back
It’s the hustler in me I know you like that
You probably think I’m with a different broad every night
When I think about it shit man you’re probably right
The more I think about it shit you’re probably wrong
Cause what you didn’t think about it that I'm probably grown
She said, she said, you ain’t no good, no good
But you feel so good, she said, she said, what if I could?
But I gotta leave you alone, ah
She said I gotta leave you alone
I, she said, I know you bad, but I want you bad
She said, she said, makes me so sad
That I gotta leave you alone
She said, I gotta leave you alone, look, look, look
She said she wish she never met me
Cause she just can't help but let me
Go ahead do whatever the hell I want
She said she hate how much she need me
Turn around, and say she don’t need me
Always talking about she gonna leave me
But she don’t
But maybe this time I’ll be different
Cause she shed so many tears
She’ll remind me all the dumb shit that I’ve done over the years
But she don’t be tripping in the morning, I got her legs up by her ears
But as soon as we get done, I swear this is all I hear, yeah
She said, she said, you ain’t no good, no good
But you feel so good, she said, she said, what if I could?
But I gotta leave you alone, ah
She said I gotta leave you alone
I, she said, I know you bad, but I want you bad
She said, she said, makes me so sad
That I gotta leave you alone
She said, I gotta leave you alone, look, look, look
In “Leave You Alone,” Young Jeezy is addressing a woman who is conflicted about her feelings for him. She knows that he's not good for her, but he makes her feel so good that she's unwilling to let him go. Despite her desires, she ultimately decides that she needs to leave him alone. Jeezy is trying to convince her otherwise, highlighting their shared experiences and the potential of a future together.
At the beginning of the song, Jeezy acknowledges the woman's concerns and urges her to reconsider leaving him alone. He insists that he can provide what she needs and wants in life, using his money and charm as a way to lure her in. Despite his promises, the woman remains steadfast in her decision to cut ties with him. She acknowledges that Jeezy is bad for her, but can't help how she feels.
Throughout the song, Jeezy tries various tactics to persuade the woman to stay with him. He tells her that he can be loyal and faithful, shows her how to hustle and make her own money, and promises to be her support system. Despite these efforts, the woman ultimately decides that she can't ignore the overwhelming evidence that Jeezy is not good for her.

She hates how much she depends on me
Turn around, and say she don’t need me
But then she says she doesn't need me
Always talking about she gonna leave me
She often talks about leaving me
But she don’t
But she never does
But maybe this time I’ll be different
But I hope this time things will be different
Cause she shed so many tears
Because she's cried so much
She’ll remind me all the dumb shit that I’ve done over the years
She'll bring up all my foolish mistakes from the past
But she don’t be tripping in the morning, I got her legs up by her ears
But in the morning, she's happy and satisfied after we have sex
But as soon as we get done, I swear this is all I hear, yeah
But after sex, all she does is complain
