Intro:
Aaah
Ooh yeah
I just want to be alone with you
My name is Tevin
Ooooh
What's your's?
Oh yeah oh yeah
Ooh yeah

Verse 1:
We were holding hands
In the park
We had to hurry home before it's dark
I can't wait to see your smile again
And I love the time we spend
I waited for the break of day to come
So I can see your smile in the sun
I guess I couldn't wait to get to school
Oooh baby
To see your pretty face
I've got to stay cool
Break it down

Hook:
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Ooh, the way you receive me
Don't take this as an aggression
Girl I've learned my lesson
Don't leave me, ooohhh
The natural way you receive me

Don't take this as an aggression
That's why

Chorus:
I just want to be alone with you
And there's nothing else
I'd rather do
I just want the chance I had again
Just us two, til the end
Oooh baby

Verse 2
Now just the other night
On the phone
I tried to impress you with my tone
I've got to be for real
If you're my friend
Or you'll never call me back again

Hook
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Ooh, the way you receive me
Don't take this as an aggression
Girl I've learned my lesson
Don't leave me, ooohhh
The natural way you receive me

Don't take this as an aggression

Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Oohh, the way you receive me
Don't take this as an aggression
Girl I've learned my lesson
Don't leave me, ooohhh
The natural way you receive me

Don't take this as an aggression
Ooooh ooooh oooh yeah

I've got to stay cool
Break it down

Chorus
I just want to be alone with you
Oooooh
I just want to be alone with you
And there's nothing else
I'd rather do
I just want the chance I had again
You know you know
Just us two, til the end

Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me baby
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
You know ill be here for you
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Girl don't leave me, don't leave me
Just me and you

I'm not lyin.....
I just want to be alone with you
And there's nothing else
I'd rather do
I just want the chance I had again
You know you know
Just us two, til the end

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
