Not Leaving You Tonight - LL COOL J, Fitz & The Tantrums, Edward Van Halen

I’ll be by your side when the chips are down

I know you had some problems but I’m here now

You’ll never be alone long as I’m around

Good hearts don’t belong in the lost and found

So, I pick up the pieces, erase your frown

And I show my true colors when we paint the town

I hate to hear you cry;

I don’t like the sound

So my love is turned up;

sheets get turned down

I know it hurts now;

the drama’s the worst now

It’s fourth and a hundred, but love’s a first down

A quarterback to come back right now

When a Hail Mary works, the world is like, «Wow!»

You down for the count?

I ain’t having it, baby

They can all go to hell, I know they calling me crazy

But you’re my sunshine when the world gets shady

A toast to the first lady

You shouldn’t be (You shouldn’t be alone) alone (Nah)

I’m not leaving you tonight

Love, you know, I’m right here

I’m not leaving you tonight

(Fitz and the Tantrums, huh?)

Go away, baby (That's right)

I’m not leaving you tonight

Go away, baby (Uh, uh)

I’m not leaving you, not leaving you tonight

(Farmer's Boulevard)

Turn your back on it, and the sun still shines

Grapes get old, and they turn into wine

The deeper the roots, the stronger the vines

These lines on my face just a sign of the times

You could cry on my shoulder if you’re so inclined

I used to be a Casanova in the lunch room line

Now there’s more important things occupying my mind

Like being there for you, breathing the air for you

Do trust falls and truth or dare for you

The weight of the world, I’m prepared to bear for you

The haters get cynical and call you spoiled

Not knowing about the drama in which you embroiled

The numerous pit falls, the tussle and the toil

But farmers taught me to put seeds in the soil

And here comes the harvest;

this part’s the hardest

I’m still here regardless

You shouldn’t be (I'm still here, baby) alone

I’m not leaving you tonight (And you shouldn’t be alone)

Love, you know, (Uh, uh) I’m right here

I’m not leaving you tonight (Nah, nah)

Go away, (Yeah) baby

I’m not leaving you tonight (Uh)

Go away, baby

I’m not leaving you, not leaving you tonight

(When I’m alone in my room, sometimes, I stare at the wall)

(And, in the back of my mind, I hear my conscience call)

(When I’m alone in my room, sometimes, I stare at the wall)

(And, in the back of my mind, I hear my conscience call)

You shouldn’t be (I'm still here, baby) alone

I’m not leaving you tonight (And you shouldn’t be alone)

Love, you know, (Uh, uh) I’m right here

I’m not leaving you tonight (Nah, nah)

Go away, (Yeah) baby

I’m not leaving you tonight (Uh)

Go away, baby

I’m not leaving you, not leaving you tonight
