[Intro]
Look, I know I was wrong
But you could just hear me out
I never meant to hurt you
But he was cute
Ooh, no, no, ooh, no

[Verse 1]
Now, baby, I know I was wrong
Would you please listen to me
See I never meant to hurt you but
I just had to go do me
And he was just a part time love
Someone there to fill the space
But trust me, baby, when I tell you that
He could never take your place
Don't walk away

[Chorus]
(Baby, don't walk away from me) I need you baby
(I need you here with me) I know I was wrong
(But I don't wanna move on) Wanna move on
('Cause we been down for so long) So long
Don't you walk away from me
(Don't walk away from me)

[Verse 2]
And it was so confusin', 'cause
Likin' him while I still love you
I know this might sound contradictory
Now you tellin' me I gotta chose
So either way, I lose
He was never your substitute
I don't know why I risked losin' (Why I risked losin')
'Cause baby at the end of the day
It's gon' be you that I'm chosin'
Don't walk away (Yeah)

[Chorus]
(Baby, don't walk away from me) I need you baby
(I need you here with me) With me, yeah
(I know I was wrong but I don't wanna move on)
But I don't wanna move on
('Cause we been down for so long) So long
Don't you walk away from me
(Don't walk away from me)

[Bridge]
When I cry myself to sleep
I'm dreamin' 'bout you
Please don't leave me, baby
No, baby, don't walk away from me, boy
Your the only one I need and my life is true
So, don't walk away from me now
Don't walk away from me now
I really wanna work it out

[Chorus]
Baby, don't walk away from me
I need you here with me, yeah
(I know I was wrong but I don't wanna move on) Wanna move on
('Cause we been down for so long) So long
Don't you walk away from me
(Don't walk away from me)

[Outro]
Don't you walk away, don't you walk away
(Baby, don't walk away from me)
Don't you walk away, don't you walk away
I need you baby
(I need you here with me)
I know I was wrong
(I know I was wrong but I don't wanna move on)
I don't wanna move on
(We been down for so long) So long
Don't you walk away from me
(Don't walk away from me)
Don't you walk away from me
(Baby, don't walk away from me)
Oh, no, no…
(I need you here with me)

Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo (born March 16, 1988) started her career under the moniker Jhené Aiko when she was 13 with the music group B2K. She explained how she later opted out of the deal to go back to high school and have her daughter Namiko in an interview back in July 2012 with Lozza

I was signed with Sony/EPIC when I was 12 years old and got a release from them when I was about 15 or 16 to focus on school. I started writing more and I had a child who’s now three years old.

After the failed release of her debut album, My Name Is Jhené back in 2003, Jhené released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s) on March 16, 2011.
