Alone

[Intro: Mary J Blige]

Baby, can I talk to you for a minute?

Oh

Oh, listen

[Verse 1: Mary J Blige]

Boy, you had me fooled, I can't believe you

'Cause you never done anything that I asked of you

Always talkin' like I just can't do right

Blamin' me for everything, and that just ain't right

[Chorus: Mary J Blige]

('Cause I can't do this alone, alone)

I don't know what to do, I'm tryna stay with you

(It's not all about you)

(Boy, I can't do this alone, alone)

You're makin' this harder

Boy, I'm bout to leave ya

'Cause I can't do this alone (Alone, alone, alone)

[Verse 2: Dave Young]

And I gave you everything I had

There, and I never said nothin', mmm

Did everything for you, mmm (And what did you do?)

What did you do? Nothing

Then you got the nerve to wanna run your mouth

Like I ain't never held you down, no

Baby, what did I do to deserve this? Mmm

'Cause I put you on a shelf

Girl, I need help

'Cause I can't do this alone, baby

[Chorus: Dave Young]

('Cause I can't do this alone, alone)

I don't know what to do, I'm tryna stay with you

(It's not all about you), I can't do it

(Girl, I can't do this alone, alone)

You're makin' this harder

Girl, I'm about to leave ya

I can't do this alone (Alone, alone, alone)

[Bridge: Mary J Blige & Dave Young]

And I'm trying to work this out (I'm trying to work this out)

But boy, you're changing now (Ooh, you're changing now)

What do I do? (What do I do?), I'm so confused (I'm so confused, baby)

And I'm trying to work this out (And I tried it all)

But girl, you're changing now (So did I)

What do I do? (What do I do? What do I do?), I'm so confused

[Chorus: Dave Young & Mary J Blige]

('Cause I can't do this alone, alone)

But I'm tryna stay with you, yeah

(It's not all about you)

No, no, no, it's not all about you

(Boy, I can't do this alone, alone)

Tried everything, woo

I've done everything, woah

But I can't do this alone (I feel ya, I feel ya)

(This alone, alone)

Baby, help me

Baby, help me (It's not all about you)

It's not all about you, no, no, no, no, no

(Boy, I can't do this alone, alone)

I wanna stay together (I wanna stay together too)

Girl, I'm 'bout to leave ya (I'm 'bout to leave you too)

'Cause I can't do this alone

[Interlude: Mary J Blige & Dave Young]

I don't know what to do

'Cause boy, I'm so tired of you, yeah, yeah, oh, oh

Said I don't know what to do

Girl, I'm so tired of you

Do what you gotta do

'Cause I, I can't do this alone

[Chorus: Dave Young & Mary J Blige]

('Cause I can't do this alone, alone)

Oh, I tried everything, but I can't do it no more

(It's not all about you), It's not all about you

(Boy, I can't do this alone, alone)

Baby, I'm so alone, what I'm 'posed to do? (I don't know)

Girl, I gotta leave you (I don't know what to tell you)

'Cause I can't do it a— (Alone, alone, alone)

[Outro: Dave Young & Mary J Blige]

Said I can't do this, no

Said I can't do this, no

Said I tried everything, I done everything

Oh, what we gonna do, baby?
