[Intro] Hold, hold up, hold up Slow, slow down Listen, give me 10 minutes Well, give me 5 minutes...a'ight B-before you leave I just need these last 4 minutes [Verse 1] Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words I heard you were leavin' town I thought I'd be the one to know first If you have a minute let me talk to you and see what's going on Don't say it's nothing When it's gotta be something that's gone wrong Now let me explain but I don't know what to say 'Cause I don't know what the hell happened I come in the house to try to work it out And all you're doing is packing Close your suitcase let me think straight Damn, what could be the reason Baby talk to me I'm almost out of time [Chorus] I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do To prove to you that I'm gon' do anything Only got 4 minutes say what I gotta say to make you stay And show you that I done changed 'Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again In 4 minutes I'm a lose her to some other man 4 no less no more I'm desperate cause the clock's ticking Only got 4 minutes to go [Verse 2] Who are these people I don't know in my house? And they scratching my floors Takin' furniture outside and the U-Haul pull up to my door What's the reason that I get this feelin' That you can't keep it real with me? Is it cause of the prior relationships I had off in the streets? Never mind that this is your conscience speaking And you need to get your girl back You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart I'm takin' suggestions I've learned my lesson Think conscience you're my last lifeline I'm down to my last second [Chorus] [Bridge] I've done things in my past I thought this love would last But I can't let you go baby You're my everything lady The reason I smile and the reason I talk baby The reason I breathe The only one for me, yeah You can't go through with this If you left me my life wouldn't exist Cause I'm still in love with you And that's my word I don't give a damn what you heard Oh, baby I'll be true I only got 4 minutes And I'm running out of time I only got 4 minutes I only got 4 minutes 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again In 4 minutes I'm a lose her to some other man 4 no less no more Cause the clocks ticking Only got 4 minutes to go Only got 4 minutes to tell you everything I love about you 4 minutes to say I need you, I can't live without you I'm out of time gotta say what's on my mind Just to keep you in my life Aw, damn I'm outta time
