Baby, I
love you and I need you.
You're the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
Nothing and no one will ever
pull me from you.
Even though there's an age difference
and even though there's a difference
in our social background,
It still doesn't matter
because what we have is so special
But now I'm seeing this special thing
go up in smoke right before
my eyes
Nobody could have told me
that you'd be caught up
in some mess like this
Oh no, not my baby
And now you've dropped
this bomb on me
After all the things we've been through,
the wonderful years
and even the hard times,
together we survived.
You know me. Why?
Why didn't you come to me
when you realized that you had a problem?
No, wait a minute.
You don't have a problem.
Because you think you're slick.
That's right.
You think you can get
away with anything.
That's what that crack will tell you.
Uh -huh, yeah,
I know all about it.
You see, I grew up in the streets.
And I know what that stuff can do to you.
One time is too many
and a thousand is not enough.
You'll sacrifice anything
to feed the need.
You think I did n't notice
the disappearance
of that Rolex watch
I gave you on your last birthday?
And what about the blue fox
that I gave you two Christmases ago?
You don't even deposit
your checking out joint account anymore.
Oh, by the way,
you got a call from your credit union
saying no more credit.
You've reached the limit.
And I can't even watch
the Beverly Hills Cop.
The VCR is gone.
Baby, you've got to make a U -turn.
Can't you see what's
happening to you?
You've become a
resident of Crack City.
And the price of occupancy
is way too high.
In a minute, we won't have nothing,
nothing, nothing.
Is the pipe worth all that?
No.
Now you're telling me
you want to leave me?
Why didn't you trust my love for you
when you realized you
were in trouble?
Instead, you chose to leave me
because you were afraid
that if I found out,
I would be so insensitive and unforgiving
that you would no longer be
the center of my life.
You are my life,
and without you, I can't live.
Now I will stand by you
and fight this thing with you
all the way.
Please, just don't leave me.
Don't send all the things we built together
up in smoke.
Don't, don't take my life away.
I love you.
