[Intro]
Yeah
Oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh

[Verse 1]
What the hell, babe?
Damn, I ain't never felt this way
Somebody, somebody tell me
I don't have a clue what to do when it comes to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you're so beautiful (You're beautiful)
Every time I see you, girl, it throw me off (Throw me off)
It's so unusual (Unusual) for me to be waiting
But I don't wanna blow it, girl
But you should know this, girl, oh

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be the one to mess this up
'Cause I done effed up in love before
I'ma be the one to take a back-seat, girl
We can take our time and you can run this
Stay in, go out
Anything you want, girl, we can do
Girl, are we going down? I don't know
But from here now, baby, I'm gon' leave that up to you
I'm gonna leave it up to you, oh

[Verse 2]
What the hell, babe?
Make me wanna jump out an airplane
The way it feels, I just can't explain
I don't wanna lose this, so I'm just gon' stay out my own way

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you're so incredible (You're beautiful)
Every time I see you, girl, it throw me off (Throw me off)
It's some kind of special (Unusual) so I'm gon' keep waiting
But I don't wanna blow it, girl
But you should know this girl, whoa-whoa-whoa

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be the one to mess this up
'Cause I done effed up in love before
I'ma be the one to take a back-seat, girl
We can take our time (Oh) and you can run this
Stay in (Yeah-yeah), go out (Yeah-yeah)
Anything you want, girl, we can do (We can do)
Girl, are we going down? I don't know
But from here now, baby, I'm gon' leave that up to you

[Bridge]
I'm not tryna be a heart breaker like I was before, that was the old me
I've made so many tears, I don't wanna make no, make no more
So give me your list, let's start checking things off
Ready to go to work, baby, you can be boss
And I'm okay with it, ain't gon' play with it
So baby girl, it's your call

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be the one to mess this up (Oh, not gonna mess it up)
'Cause I done effed up in love before (Been in love before)
I'ma be the one to take a back-seat, girl (Oh, girl)
We can take our time and you can run this (Ooh, whoa)
Stay in, go out (In or out, girl)
Anything you want, girl, we can do (We can do)
Girl, are we going down? (Oh) I don't know (Oh)
But from here now (Here now)

[Outro]
Baby, I'm gon' leave that up to you, whoa-oh
I'm gon' leave that you to you
Leave that up to you, whoa
I'm gon' leave that you to you
Leave it up to you, whoa-oh
I'm gon' leave it up to you
Leave it up to you, you, you
I'm gon' leave it up to you
I'm gon' leave it up to you
I'm gon' leave it up to you

Grammy-winning R&B singer, rapper, dancer, graffiti artist, illustrator and the first male lead artist to have his debut single top the Billboard Hot 100 in 8 years with “Run It!” in 2005, Breezy is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist. To add to this, he is the father of Royalty, a princess and the inspiration for his 7th studio album Royalty.

It’s undeniable his ability as a musician, dancer, and all-round entertainer. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (February 12th, 2012) his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. won the award for Best R&B Album and a huge number of other awards and nominations ranging from his debut as a 16 year old in 2005 to his most recent projects.

Brown’s career is long-lived, pristine and all about his music with hits such as “Look At Me Now,” “Turn Up the Music,” and “Loyal,” and successful collaborations with Omarion on his hit “Post to Be” and Lil Dicky's “Freaky Friday” in recent years.
