Like I Never Left

[Verse 1]
Girl, you've been looking for something new
'Cause I've been away too long, I shouldn't have left you (no)
Now I feel it's time I face the truth
That I was just a product of my youth (no)

[Bridge]
You were so ready for, I was so immature
But now I'm ready to be the man that you want me to be
I'm searching desperately, for the best time to say sorry
Well now's the perfect opportunity

[Chorus]
Please forgive me I didn't know what I was missing
Kept hearing you crying out for me, didn't know that I was listening
Sitting there by yourself, thinking that we was through
Baby shame on you
For thinking I would leave ya, I would leave ya (I would leave ya)
Clean up all the mess
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left

[Verse 2]
Never really mattered too much to me (mattered, never mattered, oh)
'Cause I was on a hustle making paper, you were waiting at home for me
Now it don't matter
Shut up, you're fed up
Now I'm just trying to put us back together
But I was gonna get right back
I was gonna get right back
I was gonna get right back, I swear I was

[Bridge]
You were so ready for, I was so immature
But now I'm ready to be the man that you want me to be
I'm searching desperately, for the best time to say sorry
Well now's the perfect opportunity

[Chorus]
Please forgive me I didn't know what I was missing
Kept hearing you crying out for me, didn't know that I was listening
Sitting there by yourself, thinking that we was through
Baby shame on you
For thinking I would leave ya, I would leave ya (I would leave ya)
Clean up all the mess
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left (no)

[Timbaland]:
Girl, I know it seems like I walked out on you, but I never left
Let me be the exception to the rule, I ain't like the rest
'Cause girl you know what you mean to me, is simply the best (the best, the best)
Nothing more, nothing less

[Chorus]
Please forgive me I didn't know what I was missing
Kept hearing you crying out for me, didn't know that I was listening
Sitting there by yourself, thinking that we was through
Baby shame on you
For thinking I would leave ya, I would leave ya (I would leave ya)
Clean up all the mess
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
