I wonder would yall mind -- If I preach to you for about 5 minutes
But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight
All ya gotta say is yeah
(Crowd sings) yeah
(Bobby sings) Oww!
About five years ago -- I fell in love
But you know I never believed -- I never believed in working a real hard job
But one day my old lady walked up and told me -- and said Bobby
She said your lovin is good
But my money is gettin sort of thin
Lemme hear ya say yeah

She said, I don t mean to hurt your feelings, boy,
But you better get oonn out -- and find yourself a job!
My nose was sort of opened wide at that time
So early that next morning
I went oonn out -- lookin
Tryin to find a job
And I m mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it
I put in 24 hours a day
And then a little bit overtime
And here s the sad part of the story

You know something about that, don t you?
Listen to me, now
What brought me home
It brought me home sort of early one night, huh
I got a funny -- I got a funny -- feeling
That somethimg wasn t going on in my house that wasn t right
Until I recognized my old lady s voice
And she kept tellin she said -- OOh, baby!
And I was steady listenin she said -- OOh, baby!
And he sort of stuttering too -- He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey?
She kept tellin him -- look, keep on doin doin doin
What youre doin boy!

(Bobby) And lemme hear ya yeah
Make me know you re still with me -- (Crowd sings) Yeah
Lemme hear ya yeah -- (Crowd sings) Yeah
So I started to call my baby
I said, Baby!
I said I m glad to walk away if ya do me one thing
Would ya do me one thing... ?

Girl don t pull the rug from under my feet -- OOhh
Don t leave, don t leave me so, I m talking in my sleep
This could be the start of a nightmare
Waking up and not finding you there
It would be more that I could stand

Oh, baby Oh, baby
Girl, don t leave me so I m pacing the floor (don t you do it baby)
Cause that s, that s what I ll do if you close the door
Leavin me would ruin all of my plans
It would be like tying the both of my hands
And that s more than I could ever stand
Cause that s more than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?
I promise not
To never, never hurt you no more

Oh, please don t leave me
Please don t go
By causin my heart to ache
Causin it to break

I beleive we ve still got, a lot of love to give, baby
So turn around, baby (turn around)
While there s a lot of life we can live
Maybe I ve been too hung up on myself
But don t change me by putting my heart on a shelf
Cause that s more than I could everstand

Oh tell me, Oh tell me
Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go?
Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go?

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
