Woo, ah
Good evening
I'd like to thank everybody for coming out
Hope your flights were safe
I'm feeling real breezy
Swift like the wind

It's calling my body, yeah
It's calling my soul (soul)
It's calling my mind
Girl, I gotta go
Baby, it's the grind
Yes, I had a good time
(Don't get me wrong) you were so good, uh
And I really wish I could
Stay a little bit longer
Love you a little bit stronger
And go a little deeper
Baby, with you
But since this thang is calling I
Gotta answer, dry your eyes
Girl, don't cry
'Cause your making it hard for me

'Cause I don't want to leave (Oh girl)
But I gotta go right now
I'll be back to hold you down (I don't wanna)
I don't want to leave no (I don't wanna leave you)
But girl, I gotta go right now
And I'll be back before you know it

So hold that thought (that thought)
Don't you move
See I'm coming right back
Right back for you
Don't you change your position
Girl, I'm on a mission
And baby, trust I'll be missin'
Missin' you
'Cause I don't wanna leave

I don't want to leave (leave, leave you, baby)
But I gotta go right now (I gotta go, though)
And I'll be back to hold you down (I don't wanna)
But I don't want to leave no, no, no, no, no, no
But girl, I gotta go right now (bye bye, I gotta go)
I'll be back before you know it

Streets be calling me (streets be calling me)
They be calling me 
They be calling my name, baby
And when they call, I gotta go
So I'm letting you know
But I, I won't be gone for long (won't be gone for long)
And already I can't wait to come home to you

'Cause I don't want to leave ('cause I don't wanna leave)
No, baby
But I gotta go right now (I don't wanna, but I gotta)
I'll be back to hold you down (I don't wanna)
Ooh (I don't want to leave, I don't wanna leave)
I don't wanna go nowhere, but I gotta
But I gotta go right now (uh)
I'll be back before you know it

I don't want to leave you, no
But I gotta go right now
I'll be back to hold you down (I don't wanna leave)
I don't want to leave you, ooh baby
But I gotta go right now
And I'll be back before you know it (and I'll be back before you know it)

Break it down, now
Nah, I don't wanna leave
But you know how it is when
Whoa baby, keep that on
Don't take it off
Keep it on, so I can take it off
When I come back
Yeah for sure, you better believe that

(I don't wanna leave)
Since this thing is calling I
Gotta answer, dry your eyes (but I gotta go right now)
Girl, don't cry
(Ooh, I don't wanna leave)
I don't wanna leave
But I gotta go right now
And I'll be back before you know it
