  • I've got some things to say, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    So don't you turn away, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    I need you here to stay, I
    Miss you so

    My daddy left me, and he ain't even die
    So when he did go, I ain't even cry
    I had reason, but that ain't even why
    How could he have failed if he ain't even try
    I ask no questions, I ain't even pry
    Truthfully I wanted to, I can't even lie
    Like a canceled flight, that ain't even fly
    To just walk away, like you ain't even my
    Like, like, like I ain't even your
    I cant even say it, I ain't even sure
    He shoulda gave me everything and left me even more
    But he left me without saying what he was leavin' for
    And that's when I became a man (became a man)
    And that's the day he stopped bein' one (bein' on)
    This year I became a father (father)
    And I'm a die bein' one, what's up son?

    I've got some things to say, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    So don't you turn away, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    I need you here to stay, I
    Miss you so

    I have nightmares of me not bein' 'round
    He took his first steps and daddy couldn't be in town
    Daddy's entertainin' everybody
    But missed out when it came to trainin' for the potty
    I give a fuck about hip-hops new beef
    I was more excited when my son grew teeth
    So I seem the problem
    Of the fame and stardom
    Just like Em and Haily
    Just like Game and Harlem
    Weezy's at the awards with Miss. Carter
    Nah, not his date, I'm talkin' 'bout his daughter (his daughter)
    Now that's stuntin' like your daddy
    'Cause its crazy when you wanna be nothin' like your daddy
    And if you never been a man (a man)
    That's the day you start bein' one (start bein' one)
    This year I became a father
    And I'm a die bein' one, what's up son?

    I've got some things to say, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    So don't you turn away, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    I need you here to stay, I
    Miss you so

    So hear the truth remain to let me go
    I won't hold that against you, I moved on
    Just look what I become since you've been gone
    Now don't you turn away, oh, please don't go
    Here's what I got to say, oh
    Please don't go
    Oh, why'd you go away, oh
    Please don't go
    I needed you here to stay, oh
    Please don't go
    I can't believe this pain, no
    Please don't go

    I've got some things to say, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    So don't you turn away, oh
    Please don't go, oh
    I need you here to stay, I
    Miss you so

    Why did you leave me?
    Tell me why you don't care?
    Daddy, tell me why did you leave me?
    Why you don't care?
    Tell me why did you leave me?
    Daddy, tell me why you weren't there?
    Why did you leave me? Writer/s: John Jackson, Marsha Ambrosius, Reginald Perry
