"Alone"

Baby, can I talk to you for a minute?
Ohhh...
Ohh...
Listen...

Boy, you had me fooled.
I can't believe you.
Cuz' you never done anything that I asked of you.
Always talking like I just can't do right.
Blaming me for everything and that just ain't right.
'Cuz I...

Cuz' I can't do this alone. (I don't know what to do.)
Alone.(I'm tryna stay with you.)
It's not all about you. (Ohhh)
Boy, I can't do this alone. (You're making this harder.)
Alone. (Boy, I'm bout to leave ya)
(Cuz I can't do this alone)
Alone...
Alone...
Alone.

And I gave you everything I had.
Yeah.
And I never said nothing.
Did everything for you.
What did you do?
Nothing.
Then you got the nerve to wanna run your mouth.
Like I ain't never held you down.
Baby, what did I do to deserve this?
Cuz' I put you on a shelf.
Girl, I need help.
Cuz' I can't do this alone, baby.

Cuz' I can't do this alone. (I don't know what to do.)
Alone. (I'm tryna stay with you.)
It's not all about you. (No, I can't do it)
Girl, I can't do this alone. (You're making this harder)
Alone. (Girl, I'm bout to leave ya)
(I can't do this alone)
Alone...
Alone...
Alone.

And I tried to work this out. (I'm tryna work this out)
But boy you're changing now. (Oh, you're changing now)
What do I do? (What do I do?)
I'm so confused. (I'm so confused, baby)

(And I tried to work this out.)
I tried it all.
(But girl, you're changing now.)
So did I.
(What do I do?)
What do I do?
(I'm so confused.)
What do I do?
[Mary:]I can't do this alone.

Cuz' 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.
(I tried everything.)
(Ohh...)
Alone.
(I've done everything.)
(Ohh...)
(But I can't do this alone.)
Alone...(I feel ya)
Alone...(I feel ya)
