4 Minutes Songtext

von Avant

(Clock Ticking)
(Talking)Hold up, slow down, slow down,
Listen give me ten minutes. Wha-Wha give me five minutes
I...I... before you leave, I just need these last four minutes

(Verse 1)
Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words.
I heard you were leaving town, I thought I'd be the one to know first.
If you have one minute, let me talk to you and see what's goin on.
Don't say it's nothing when it got to be something that's going 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 ya doin is packin
Close ya suitcase, let me think straight,
Damn, what could be the reason, baby talk to me, I'm almost outta time

(Chorus)
I've only got 4 minutes, to do what I got to do,
To prove to you, that I gone do anything.
I've only got 4 minutes, to say what I got to say,
To make you stay and show you that I done changed.
Cause in 4 minutes, i'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, Ima lose her to some other man.
4, no less no more,
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's tickin only got 4 minutes to go.

(Verse 2)
Who are these people, I don't know, in my house and they scratchin my floor.
Takin furniture outside and a u-haul pulled up to my door.
What's the reason that I get this feelin that you can't keep it real wit me.
Is it cause the prior realtionships that I had off in the streets?
Nevermind that, this is your conscience speakin and you need to get ya girl back.
You got to find a way to try to get to her heart.
I'm takin suggestions, I've learned my lesson,
And conscience you my last life line, I'm down to my last seconds.

(Chorus)
I've only got 4 minutes, to do what I got to do,
To prove to you, that I gone do anything.
I've only got 4 minutes, to say what I got to say,
To make you stay and show you that I done changed.
Cause in 4 minutes, i'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, Ima lose her to some other man.
4, no less no more,
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's tickin only got 4 minutes to go.

(Verse 3)
I've done things in my past, I thought this love would last.
But I can't let you go baby, you my everything lady.
The reason I smile, and the reason I talk.
Baby, the reason I breath, the only one for me.
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 thats my word,
I don't give a damn what you heard,
Oh, baby i'll be true,
I only got 4 minutes(echo), only 4 and I'm runnin outta time
I only got four minutes, only 4(ECHO)
I only got 4 minutes, 4 minutes, I'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, I'ma lose her to some other man.
4,(OOHH) no less no more (I just can't take it)
I'm desperate cause the clock's (I don't want it to happen, I won't let it happen)tickin only got 4 minutes.
I've only got 4 minutes, to tell ya everything I love about you.
4 minutes to say I need ya and can't live without you.
To keep you in my life, oh, damn, i'ma outta time
