The Tantrums - Not Leaving You Tonight lyrics

[Intro: LL Cool J] Farmer's Boulevard [Verse 1: LL Cool J] 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 [Hook: Fitz & The Tantrums (LL Cool J)] 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) [Verse 2: LL Cool J] 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 [Hook: Fitz & The Tantrums (LL Cool J)] 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 [Bridge: Eddie Van Halen (LL Cool J)] (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) [Hook: Fitz & The Tantrums (LL Cool J)] 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 [Outro: LL Cool J] Farmer's Boulevard Queens
