Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words.
I heard you were leaving town, I thought I'd be the one to know first.
If you have a minute, let me talk to you and see whats goin on.
Don't say its nothing when its got to be something thats gone wrong.
Now let me explain, but i don't know what to say, cause i don't know what the hell happened
I come in the house to try to work it out and all ya doin is packin
Close ya suitcase, let me think straight,
damn, what could be the reason,
baby talk to me, I'm almost outta time

(Chorus)
I only got four minutes,to do what i got to do,
to prove to you, that i gone do anything.
I only got 4 minutes, to say what i got to say,
to make you stay and show you that i done changed.
Cause in 4 minutes, i'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, I'ma lose her to some other man.
4, no less no more,
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's tickin only got 4 minutes to go.

(Verse 2)
Who are these people, i dont know, in my house and they scratchin my floor.
Takin furinute outside and a u-haul pull up to my door.
Whats the reason that i get the feelin that you can't keep it real wit me.
Is it cause of the prior realtionships that i had off in the streets?
Nevermind that, this is you consicience speakin and you need to get ya girl back
You got to find a way to try to get to her heart.
I'm takin suggestion, I've learned my lesson,
and consicience you my last life line, im down to my last seconds.

(Chorus)
I only got four minutes,to do what i got to do,
to prove to you, that i gone do anything.
I only got 4 minutes, to say what i got to say,
to make you stay and show you that i done changed.
Cause in 4 minutes, i'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, I'ma lose her to some other man.
4, no less no more,
I'm desperate 'cause the clock's tickin only got 4 minutes to go.

(Verse 3)
I've done things in my past, i thought this love would last.
But i can't let you go baby, you my everything lady.
the reason i smile, and the reason i talk.
BAby, the reason i breathe, the only one for me.
You can't go through with this, if you left me my life wouldn't exist,
Cause im still in love with you, and thats my word,
i don't give a damn what you heard,
oh, baby ill be true,
I only got 4 minutes.(echo)
I only got 4 (echo) and im ruunin outta time
I ony got 4 minutes, only 4, (ECHO)
i only got 4 minutes, 4 minutes, i'll never have my girl again.
4 minutes, ima lose her to some other man.
4, (OOHH) no less no more( I just can't take it)
I'm desperate cause the clocks ( i don't want it to happen, i won't let it happen) tickin only got 4 minutes.
I only got 4 minutes, to tell ya everything i love about you.
4 minutes to say i need ya i can't live without you.
I'm outta time, gotta say whats on my mind,
to keep you in my life, oh, damn, ima outta time.
