[Intro: Tank]

This song is an opportunity for me to say thank you to someone truly special

Thank you for the love, thank you for the friendship, thank you for who I am today

And thank you for this very moment

Because now, I get to say I have a new song with

Aaliyah

[Verse 1: Tank]

First, I wanna say in my heart, it's all you

And baby, no matter what you heard

On my momma life, girl, to you, I will be true

I know we've been through ups and downs

At times, I felt like they didn't want me around

But just know that I'ma fight for you, fight for you

[Verse 2: Aaliyah]

Then let me explain how it started

Can you sit down, take some time and listen to me?

I feel that you owe it to me

But before I begin, let me tell you that I love you

Even still, with all of me

So let me explain why it's over for you and me

[Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & Tank]

Did you know that there's more than one side to a story? (I'm telling my side)

Instead of the one who affects me (Ooh)

Just give me a chance to explain my story (Alright)

Don't let it end, baby then you will see

[Chorus: Aaliyah & Tank]

Baby, I'm gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Will you go?)

Gone (Do you know?)

Baby, I'm gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Leaving me), gone (Do you know?)

I'm moving on (Will you leave?)

Gone (Will you go?)

Gone (Let me know), gone

Gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Leaving me)

Gone

Gone

[Verse 3: Aaliyah]

So now that you heard, it was different

It was sweet and innocent, just how it should be

You see, he swept me right off of my feet

And I know that you're hurt, but feel me

You took for granted all my love

For all of these years, there was no reciprocity

You tried to pacify me, didn't even satisfy me

[Pre-Chorus: Aaliyah & Tank]

And you know that there's more than one side to a story (I'm telling my side)

That other one, (One) it affects me (Ooh)

Just give me a chance to explain my story (I'm listening)

You'll let it end, baby love you will see (I'm gon' see, I'm gon' see)

[Chorus: Aaliyah & Tank]

Baby, I'm gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Will you go?)

Gone (Do you know?)

Baby, I'm gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Leaving me)

Gone

I'm moving on (Will you leave?)

Gone (Will you go?)

Gone (Let me know)

Gone

Gone (Will you leave?)

Gone (Leaving me)

Gone

Gone

[Bridge: Tank]

Listen

I blame me

I could never blame you (Ooh)

I couldn't see all of the hurt I put you through

Wasted all your time

Wish I could rewind

But you're gone (Gone), gone (Gone), gone (Gone), gone

[Outro: Aaliyah & Tank]

Baby, I'm gone, gone, gone (Ay)

Baby, I'm gone, gone, gone (Gone)

I'm moving on

Gone, gone, gone (Now that you're gone, now that you're gone)

Gone, gone, gone, gone (Oh)
