[Intro]
Baby, now I realize
All of those times I told you I loved you
I just didn't show it
I'm sorry
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out

[Verse 1]
I remember when you said to me
Don't talk about it be about it
I should have felt you when you said
To me that you were all alone
I act like I was doing a favor
For you 'cause you were with me
Something let me thinking that whatever happens
This would be my home
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
How could I have been so low
(How could I have been so low)
I wrote a song all about it
(Took a pen and wrote a song)
Wanna hear it, here it goes, from now on

[Chorus]
I won't talk about loving you
'Cause I'm gonna be about loving you
I won't talk about coming home
'Cause I'm gonna be about coming home
I won't talk about both of us
'Cause I'm gonna be about both of us
I won't talk about making sweet love
'Cause I'm gonna be about making sweet love

[Verse 2]
Now I remember when we used the crib in Studio 12A
Clothes and pallets on the floor making sweet love night till day
Used to say I wanna have a baby boy and call him Man
But now it's all gone up in smoke and baby I don't understand
All I know that is I was wrong
(Dead wrong, yeah)
How could I have stooped so low
(How could I have stooped so low)
I wrote a song about it
(Wrote a song)
Wrote about it, here it goes, from now on

[Chorus]
I won't talk about loving you
'Cause I'm gonna be about loving you
I won't talk about coming home
'Cause I'm gonna be about coming home
I won't talk about both of us
'Cause I'm gonna be about both of us
I won't talk about making sweet love
'Cause I'm gonna be about making sweet love

[Verse 3]
Now all the money in the world couldn't add up to what you did
'Cause when I was down and out you took the burden off of me
I never thought that when I took her out somehow it'd cause me pain
I was rooming at the Drake, how the hell you found my name
Damn I was wrong (I was wrong)
How could I have stooped so low
(How could I have stooped so low)
I wrote a song, yeah
All about it, wanna hear it?
Here it goes, from now on

[Chorus]
I won't talk about loving you
'Cause I'm gonna be about loving you
I won't talk about coming home
'Cause I'm gonna be about coming home
I won't talk about both of us
'Cause I'm gonna be about both of us
I won't talk about making sweet love
'Cause I'm gonna be about making sweet love
I won't talk about loving you
'Cause I'm gonna be about loving you

[Outro]
Girl, open up the door and let me in this house, please baby
I'm tired of banging on this door the neighbors say I'm loud
Honey, I beg of you
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out
Don't put me out, don't put me out

Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9).
