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
