Gone

Original

This song is an opportunity for me to say thank you to someone truly special.

Thank you for the love, thank you for the friendship, thank you for who I am today, and thank you for this very moment, because now I get to say I have a new song with

Aaliyah.

First I wanna say, in my heart it's only you.

And baby, no matter what you heard, on my momma life, girl, to you I'll be true.

I know we've been through ups and downs.

Times I feel like that they want me around.

But just know that I'ma fight for you, -fight for you. -Just let me explain how it started.

Can you sit down, take some time, and listen to me? I feel that you owe it to me.

But before I begin, let me tell you that I love you, even still, with all of me.

So let me explain why it's over for you and me.

Did you know that there's more than one side to a story?

-Tell me it's all my side.

-And that other part affects me.

Just give me a chance -to explain my story. -Oh, I-

Don't let it end. Baby, then you will see. Baby,

I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go?

-Gone. Come on now. -Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone.

Where you go? Gone. Come on now. Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go?

-Gone. Come on now.

-So now that you heard, it was different. It was real and, and I said just how it should be.

You see, you swept me right off of my feet.

And I know that you're hurt, but feel me, you took for granted all my love. For all of these years, there was no reciprocity.

You tried to pacify me, didn't even satisfy me.

Did you know that there's more -than one side to a story? -Tell me it's all my side.

And that other part affects me.

Just give me a chance to explain my story.

-Oh, I- -Don't let it end.

Baby, then you will see.

-I won't see, I won't see.

-Baby, I'm -gone. -Where you been? Gone. Where you go? Gone.

-Come on now. -Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go? Gone. Come on now. Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go? Gone. Come on now.

So now that you heard.

I blame me. I could never blame you.

Ooh, I couldn't see all of the hurt that I put you through.

Wasted all your time. Wish I could rewind.

But you're gone, gone, gone, -gone. -Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go? Gone.

-Come on now. -Baby, I'm gone.

Where you been? Gone. Where you go? Gone. Come on now.

-Now that you're gone. -Gone, gone, gone, gone.

-Now that you're gone. -Gone, gone, gone.

-Oh, gone. -Gone, gone, gone.
