[Intro 1]
[Am][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
Baby, [Dm]I
love you and I need [F]you.
You're the best thing
[Am]that's ever happened to me.
Nothing and no [F]one will ever
pull me from [Am]you.
[G]Even though there's [Dm]an age difference
and even though there's a differ[F]ence
in our social back[Dm]ground,
It still doesn't mat[F]ter
because what we have is so [Am]special
But now I'm seeing this special thing
go up in smoke right before
my [G]eyes[Dm]
Nobody could have told me
that you'd be caught up
in some mess like this
Oh [F]no, [Am]not my baby
And now you've dropped
this bomb on [G]me
[Dm]After all the things we've been through,
the wonderful years
and even the hard times,
together we survived.
You [Am]know me. Why?
Why didn't you come to me
when you realized that you had a problem?
[G]No,[Dm] wait a minute.
You don't have a problem.
Because you think you're slick.
That's right.
You think you can [Am]get
away with anything.
That's what that crack will tell you.
Uh -huh, yeah,
I know all [G]about [Dm]it.
You see, I grew up in the streets.
And I know what that stuff can do to you.
One time is too many
[Am]and a thousand is not enough.
You'll sacrifice anything
to feed the need.
[G]You thi[Em]nk I did[Dm] n't notice
the disappearance
of that Rolex watch
I gave you on your last birthday?
And what about the blue fox
that I gave [Am]you two Christmases ago?
You don't even deposit
your checking out joint account anymore.
Oh, by the way,
[Em]you got [Dm]a call from your credit union
saying no more credit.
You've reached the limit.
And I can't even watch
the Beverly Hills Cop.
The VCR [Am]is gone.
Baby, you've got to make a U -turn.
Can't you see what's
happening to you?
[G]You've become [Dm]a
resident of Crack City.
And the price of occupancy
is way too high.
[Gsus4]In a minu[Am]te, we won't have nothing,
nothing, noth[Em]ing.[Dm]
Is the pipe worth all that?
[Am]No.
Now you're telling me
you want to leave me?
Why didn't [G]you trust my [Dm]love for you
when you realized you
were in trouble?
Instead, you chose to leave me
because you were afraid
[Am]that if I found out,
I would be so insensitive and unforgiving
that you would no [G]longer [Em]be
[Dm]the center of my life.
You are my life,
and without you, I can't [Am]live.
Now I will stand by you
and fight this thing with you
all the [G]way.
[Dm]Please, just don't leave me.
Don't send all the things we built together
up in smoke.
Don't, [Am]don't take my life away.
I love you.
