Leaving Tonight

[Intro: Ne-Yo & Jennifer Hudson]

I believe that love and trust are one in the same

I don't think you can truly love somebody unless you trust them

That blind trust, that beyond a shadow of a doubt

No matter what this person saying, that person

You believe your man

Now you say you love me

But every time one of your little friends come at you with something

We gotta do this

Mama, I'm trying; I'm trying to show you that I'm for real

Tell me what I gotta do to show you that I'm for you

(Just shut up and listen)

[Verse 1: Jennifer Hudson:]

Two hundred and sixteen

That's how many times that I went

Back and forth about it in my mind

Could she, could she really be

Who he's telling me that she is

There's something about it

That don't feel right

[Bridge 1: Jennifer Hudson & (Ne-Yo)]

Saturday she called here 26 times

(Oh, you counted?)

You kept telling me not to worry

(Don't worry 'bout it)

Wanna believe that you're telling the truth

(So don't doubt it)

But if you are lying to me

[Chorus 1: Jennifer Hudson & (Ne-Yo)]

You're leaving tonight

Out of my life

Everyone said you ain't no good

Then you prove them right

You're leaving tonight

It's over and done

Ain't no sense in trying to wait

'Til the morning comes

(You're leaving tonight)

[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]

Baby now hold up

Let's just settle down

'Cause there's a perfect explanation

To this situation

That we're going through

I swear I don't know that girl

But I seen her 'round

And she's expressed how much she want it

But baby I'm not lonely

All of me is for all of you

[Bridge 2: Ne-Yo & (Jennifer Hudson)]

Said I got a girl like a thousand times

(So you counted)

She kept telling me not to worry

(Don't worry bout it)

Please believe I'm telling the truth

(I really doubt it)

Really wish you would believe in me

[Chorus 2: Ne-Yo]

I'm not leaving tonight

Girl you're my life

All of your friends think I'm no good

Please don't prove them right

I'm not leaving tonight

Its over and done

Let's leave this alone, and let's make love

'Til the morning come

(Not leaving tonight)

[Bridge 3 - Jennifer Hudson (& Ne-Yo)]

Oh I won't deny

That everything in my body

Wants to know that you're the one

(So what's the problem girl?)

See I can't take this serious

When you're just having fun

(No, I'm not just having fun)

Steady running around making a fool of me

(Baby girl you can't listen to everyone

I'm your man, trust in me

Don't let them interfere with us being happy)

[Breakdown: Jennifer Hudson & (Ne-Yo)]

(Love me girl)

I love you, that's a fact

(Say that you love me baby)

But I'll be dammed if I'm gonna let you up and disrespect who's been there from the start

(You not gonna disrespect my heart)

You claim to not know (not know that girl)

But her name and number is in your phone

She even got a ringtone

You care to explain that part?

[Bridge 1: Jennifer Hudson & (Ne-Yo)]

Saturday she called here 26 times

(Oh, you counted?)

You kept telling me not to worry

(Don't worry 'bout it)

Wanna believe that you're telling the truth

(So don't doubt it)

But if you are lying to me

[Chorus 3: Ne-Yo & (Jennifer Hudson)]

I'm not leaving tonight

Girl you're my life

(Everyone said you ain't no good

And you prove them right)

I'm not leaving tonight

(It's over and done)

Just leave us alone and let's make love

'Til the morning come

Not leaving tonight

[Outro: Ne-Yo & (Jennifer Hudson)]

Said I just need you to trust me, baby

(I wanna trust you)

Not leaving tonight
