Leavin’ (Raphael’s Edit) Tony! Toni! Toné!

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
If your father says I can’t have your hand
And your mother feels that I’m not your man
And your sister says she don’t like my style
And your brother feels that you’re still a child
Your friends always tell you that I’m a fool
But you and I both know that it’s not true
So it’s up to you to make up your mind
‘Cause I really don’t wanna waste my time

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Oh, darlin’, we’re leavin’ (Leavin’)
I know we’ve got to get away from here (Leavin’ here)
We’ll go away and build a mansion (Leavin’)
'Til no one know what we have for each other (Leavin’ here)
Let’s pack our bags and let’s leave, girl
(“Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet”)
(“Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet”)

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
I know that you really want to be with me
So don’t let them dictate how love should be
You know how it feels when we are alone
So girly you blow me like a saxophone
Girl, I like all your friends, now, don’t get me wrong
So stop, look, and listen before I’m gone
Our love is cock diesel and everyone knows
So let’s wave “bye-bye” ‘cause we’re going on home
