Mary J. Blige - Alone lyrics
[Mary's Verse]
Baby, can I
Talk to you
For a minute
Listen
Boy you had
Me fooled
I can't
Believe you
Cause you never
Done anything
That I ask
Of you
Always talking like
I just can't do right
Blaming me
For everything
Boy, that just
Ain't right
[Mary's Chorus]
Cause, I can't do
This alone
(I don't know what to do)
Alone
(I'm tryna stay wit you)
It's not all about you
Boy, I can't do
This alone
[I can't do this alone]
(You makin' this harder)
Alone
[I can't do this so]
(Boy, I'm bout to leave ya)
(Cause I can't do this)
Alone
Alone
[Dave's Verse]
And I gave
You everything
I had and I never
Yeah
Said nothin'
Did everything
For you
What did you do
Nothin'
Then you
Got the nerve
To wanna run
Your mouth
Like I ain't never
Held ya down
Baby, what did I do
To deserve this
Cause I put you
On a shelf
Girl, I need help
Cause I can't
Do this alone, baby
[Dave's Chorus]
Cause, I can't do
This alone
(I don't know what to do)
Alone
(I'm tryna stay wit you)
It's not all about you
(Oh, I can't do it)
Girl, I can't do
This alone
[I can't do this alone]
(You're makin' this harder)
Alone
[I can't do this so]
(Girl, I'm bout to leave ya)
(I can't do this)
Alone
Alone
Bridge:
[Mary]
And I tried
To work this out
(I'm tryna work this out)
But boy
You changin' now
(Oh, you changin' now)
What do I do?
(What do I do?)
I'm so confused
(I'm so confused, baby)

To work this out

But girl
You changin' now
