Leaving Tonight Songtext
von Ne‐Yo

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 comes 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

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


Saturday she called here twenty six 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

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)

Baby now hold up
Let′s just settle down
'Cause there′s a perfect explanation to this situation
That we're going through (this thing that we're going through)
I swear I don′t know that girl
But I′ve seen her around
And she's expressed how much she wants it
But baby, I′m not lonely
All of me is for all of you


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

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
It's over and done
Let′s leave this alone, and let's make love
′Til the morning comes (not leaving tonight) oh, oh

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 (you're my man)
Don′t let them interfere with us being happy
Love me, girl

I love you, that's a fact (say that, you love me baby)
But I′ll be damned, if I'm gonna let you up
And disrespect who's been there from the start
(You′re not gonna disrespect my heart)
You claim, claim not to know that (not know that girl)
(But her name and number is in your phone)
She even got a ringtone
You care to explain that part?

Saturday she called here twenty six times (I know you counted)
You kept telling me not to worry (please 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

I′m not leaving tonight (leaving tonight)
Girl you're my life
Everyone said you ain′t no good, and you prove them right
I said I'm not leaving tonight (it's over and done)
Let′s leave this alone, and let′s make love
'Til the morning come
(Not leaving tonight) oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Said I just need you to trust me (I wanna trust you)
Not leaving tonight
