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?
