Ll Cool J - Not Leaving You Tonight lyrics

rate me

Promise boulevard!

I’ll be by your side when your chips are down

I know you had some problems, but I’m here now

You’ll never be alone, long as I’m around

Good hearts don’t belong in the lost and found!

So I picked up the pieces, erased your frown

And I show my true colors when we paint the town

I hate that you cry, I don’t like the sound

So my love is turned up, she is turned down

I know it hurts now, that drama is the worst now

It’s fourth in a hundred, but love’s a first down

I caught her back, you come back, right now

When a hail Mary works the world it’s like wow!

You’re down for the count, I ain’t having a baby

They can all go to hell, I know they’re calling me crazy

But you’re my sunshine when the world gets shady

A toast at my first lady!

Chorus:

You shouldn’t be (you shouldn’t be alone) alone

I’m not leaving you tonight!

Love, you know I’m right here,

I’m not leaving you tonight!

(Fits in the… huh?)

No way, baby, I’m not leaving you tonight!

No way, baby, I’m not leaving you, leaving you tonight!

Turn your back on it and the sun still shines

Grapes get old and they turn into wine

The deeper the roots, the stronger the vines

These lines on my face is a sing of the times!

You could cry on my shoulder if you’re so inclined

I used to be a Casanova in the lunchroom line

That is more important things occupy my mind

Like being there for you, breathing the air for you

Do trust for you..and shoot the dead for you

The weight of the world I’m prepared to bear for you

The haters get cynical and call you spoiled

Not knowing about the drama in which you’re..

The numerous… the tassel and the toil

…need to put seeds in the soil

And here comes the harvest, this part is the hardest

I’m still here regardless!

Chorus: (x2)

You shouldn’t be (I’m still here, baby) alone

I’m not leaving you tonight!

(And you shouldn’t be alone)

Love, you know I’m right here,

I’m not leaving you tonight!

(No, no!)

No way, baby, I’m not leaving you tonight, oh!

No way, baby, I’m not leaving you, leaving you tonight!

Promise boulevard!

Queens!
