| (Bobby)Lemme hear ya just say it a little bit louder |
| Lemme hear ya say yeah |
| (Crowd) Yeah |
| (Bobby sings) Hmmmmm |
| I don’t know why -- I, I feel like I wanna preach tonight |
| I wonder would yall mind -- If I preach to you for about 5 minutes |
| But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight |
| All ya gotta say is yeah -- |
| (Crowd sings) yeah |
| (Bobby sings) Owwwww!!! |
| About five years ago -- I fell in love |
| But you know I never believed -- I never believed in working a real hard job |
| But one day my old lady walked up and told me -- and said Bobby |
| She said your lovin' is good -- |
| But my money is gettin' sort of thin |
| Lemme hear ya say yeah |
| She said, «I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, boy,» |
| «But you better get ooonnnn out -- and find yourself a job!» |
| My nose was sort of opened wide at that time |
| So early that next morning |
| I went ooonnnn out -- lookin' -- |
| Tryin to find a job -- |
| And I’m mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it |
| I put in 24 hours a day -- |
| And then a little bit overtime |
| And here’s the sad part of the story |
| You know something about that, don’t you? |
| Listen to me, now |
| What brought me home -- |
| It brought me home sort of early one night, huh |
| I got a funny -- I got a funny -- feeeling |
| That somethimg wasn’t going on in my house that wasn’t right |
| Until I recognized my old lady’s voice -- |
| And she kept tellin' she said -- Oooh, baby! |
| And I was steady listenin' she said -- Oooh, baby! |
| And he sort of stuttering too -- He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey? |
| She kept tellin' him -- look, keep on doin' doin' doin' |
| What youre doin' boy! |
| (Bobby) And lemme hear ya yeah -- |
| Make me know you’re still with me -- (Crowd sings) Yeah |
| Lemme hear ya yeah -- (Crowd sings) Yeah |
| So I started to call my baby |
| I said, «Baby!» |
| I said «I'm glad to walk away if ya do me one thing… |
| Would ya do me one thing???» |
| Girl don’t pull the rug from under my feet -- OOOHHH |
| Don’t leave, don’t leave me so, I’m talking in my sleep |
| Listen to me --- |
| This could be the start of a nightmare |
| Waking up and not finding you there |
| It would be more that I could stand |
| Oh, baby Oh, baby |
| Girl, don’t leave me so I’m pacing the floor (don't you do it baby) |
| Cause that’s, that’s what I’ll do if you close the door |
| Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans |
| It would be like tying the both of my hands |
| And that’s more than I could ever stand |
| Cause that’s more than I could stand |
| Why you wanna leave me? |
| Why you wanna go? |
| I promise not |
| To never, never hurt you no more |
| Oh, please don’t leave me |
| Please don’t go |
| By causin' my heart to ache |
| Causin' it to break |
| I beleive we’ve still got, a lot of love to give, baby |
| So turn around, baby (turn around) |
| While there’s a lot of life we can live |
| Maybe I’ve been too hung up on myself |
| But don’t change me by putting my heart on a shelf |
| Cause that’s more than I could everstand |
| Oh tell me, Oh tell me |
| Why you wanna leave me? |
| -- Why you wanna go? |
| Why you wanna leave me? |
| -- Why you wanna go? |
| Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby |
