[Verse 1]
I dug a single seed into the ground, I hope it grows, grows
In a year or two if you're around, you'll see a rose, rose
Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere, that you can find me
On a train to Paris going nowhere, draw the bridge behind me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone?

[Post-Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
When you're, when you're gone
(Mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
When you're gone

[Verse 2]
Golden leaves are dancing on the ground, it's getting cold, cold (Oh-oh)
Safe from time, we'll be forever young, never old, old
See a ball of fire out in space, zooming up behind me
All the wonder written on your face, was there inside me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone?

[Post-Chorus]
(Mmm-mmm)
Oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
When you're, when you're gone
(Mmm-mmm)
Oh-oh, oh-whoa
(Mmm-mmm-mmm)
When you're gone

[Bridge]
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over? Yeah
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Woo!

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long (Too long, don't be gone)
(Is it really over?)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't be gone too long (Too long, don't be gone)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone?
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (Yeah-yeah, when it's over)
Don't be gone too long (Too long)
(Is it really over?)
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone?

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.
