Song lyrics Alone by Mary J. Blige

[Mary:]
Baby, can I talk to you for a minute?
Ohhh...
Ohh...
Listen...

[Verse 1: (Mary)]
Boy, you had me fooled.
I canīt believe you.
Cuzī you never done anything that I asked of you.
Always talking like I just canīt do right.
Blaming me for everything and that just ainīt right.
Cuz I...

[Chorus: (Mary)]
Cuzī I canīt do this alone. (I donīt know what to do.)
Alone.(Iīm tryna stay with you.)
Itīs not all about you. (Ohhh)
Boy, I canīt do this alone. (Youīre making this harder.)
Alone. (Boy, Iīm bout to leave ya)
(Cuz I canīt do this alone)
Alone...
Alone...

[Verse 2: (Dave)]
And I gave you everything I had.
Yeah.
And I never said nothing.
Did everything for you.
What did you do?
Nothing.
Then you got the nerve to wanna run your mouth.
Like I ainīt never held you down.
Baby, what did I do to deserve this?
Cuzī I put you on a shelf.
Girl, I need help.
Cuzī I canīt do this alone, baby.

[Chorus: (Dave)]

(I canīt do this alone)
Alone...
Alone...
Alone.
