4 Minutes Lyrics - Director - Avant

H-hold up, hold up 

Slow down, slow down 

Listen, give me 10 minutes 

Well, well gimme 5 minutes 

Aight, b-before you leave 

I just need these last 4 minutes 

Pardon me if I'm talking fast 

And stumbling all over my words 

I heard you were leavin' town 

I thought I'd be the one to know first 

If you have a minute let me talk to you 

And see what's going on 

Don't say it's nothing 

When it's gotta be something that's gone 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 you're doing is packing 

Close your suitcase 

Let me think straight 

Damn, what could be the reason? 

Baby, talk to me I'm almost outta time 

I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do 

To prove to you that I'm gon' do anything 

Only got 4 minutes to say what I gotta say 

To make you stay and show you that I done changed, baby 

Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again 

In 4 minutes I'ma lose her to some other man 

4, no less no more 

I'm desperate cause the clock's ticking 

Only got 4 minutes to go 

Who are these people? I don't know 

In my house and they scratching my floors 

Takin' furniture outside 

And the U-Haul pulled up to my door 

What's the reason that I get this feelin' 

That you can't keep it real with me? 

Is it cause of the prior relationships 

That I had off in the streets? 

Never mind that, this is your conscience speaking 

And you need to get your girl back 

You gotta find a way to try to get to her heart 

I'm takin' suggestions, I've learned my lesson 

And conscience you're my last lifeline 

I'm down to my last second 

I only got 4 minutes to do what I gotta do 

(4 minutes to go) 

To prove to you that I'm gon' do anything 

Only got 4 minutes to say what I gotta say 

To make you stay and show you that I done changed 

(I'm a changed man) 

Cause in 4 minutes I'll never have my girl again 

In 4 minutes I'ma lose her to some other man 

(I'll be all alone) 

4, no less no more 

I'm desperate cause the clock's ticking 

(Baby) 

Only got 4 minutes to go 

I've done things in my past 

I thought this love would last 

But I can't let you go baby 

You're my everything lady 

The reason I smile 

And the reason I talk baby 

The reason I breathe 

The only one for me, yea 

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 that's my word 

I don't give a damn what you heard 

Oh, baby I'll be true 

I only got 4 minutes 

(Oh I got 4) 

And I'm running out of time 

I only got 4 minutes 

(Only 4 more minutes) 

I only got 4 minutes 

4 minutes I'll never have my girl again 

(I'll never have) 

In 4 minutes 

(Oh no) 

I'ma lose her to some other man 

(I'ma lose her) 

4, no less no more 

(Oo ho) 

I'm desperate cause the clock's ticking 

(And I just can't take it) 

(I don't want it happen, I won't let it happen) 

Only got 4 minutes to go 

(Oh no) 

Only got 4 minutes 

To tell you everything I love about you 

4 minutes to say I need you 

(I need you) 

I can't live without you 

I'm out of time 

(Out of time) 

Gotta say what's on my mind 

(What's on my mind baby) 

Just to keep you in my life 

Aw, damn I'm outta time
