[Intro: Blackstreet, Dave Hollister, Teddy Riley]
(One, two, three)
Before I let you go, before I let you go (Mmm) (Woo)
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby? (Mmm)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
(Can I get everybody to wave your hands in the air?)
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby? (Baby, before)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby? (Ooh yeah yeah)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?
(Break it down)

[Verse 1: Dave Hollister & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Lately, I've been thinking something's going wrong
'Cause you got an attitude
And you're not in the mood like you used to
Girl, I can feel it when I hold you in my arms
The feeling is not the same (Oh no no)
Can I be the one to blame?

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Hollister & Blackstreet]
I don't wanna lose your love, mmm
I don't wanna say bye-bye, oh no no
True love is so hard to find
And it's right between your lips and mine, and mine
Before I let go
[Chorus: Blackstreet, Dave Hollister, Teddy Riley]
Before I let you go away
(Can I get a kiss?)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?
(Baby, before I go, can I get a kiss goodnight?)
Before I let you go away
(Ooh baby baby)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?
(Can I get a kiss? Can I get a kiss? Can I get a kiss goodnight?)
(Mmm, listen, baby)

[Verse 2: Dave Hollister & Blackstreet]
Turn the lights down low
Let's take it nice and slow
My mission is to keep you mine (Keep you mine)
Don't want this to be the last time (Be the last time)
We make sweet love
Baby, I know you feel it, too
It's bigger than the both of us (Both of us)
There's one thing I'm so certain of

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Hollister & Teddy Riley]
I don't wanna lose your love (I don't wanna lose ya)
I don't wanna say bye-bye (Don't wanna lose ya)
It's always the little things
I remember and I can't just let slip away
(Remember and I just can't slip away)
Slip away, before
[Chorus: Blackstreet & Dave Hollister]
Before I let you go away
(Baby, I wanna know, I wanna know)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?
(Before I go, I go, I go away)
Before I let you go away
(I just gotta know, can I have?)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?

[Bridge: Dave Hollister & Teddy Riley]
Teddy, won't you play the music for me
Teddy, won't you play - Blackstreet say
(Don't wanna lose ya - Can I get a kiss goodnight?)
Let's give it up for Teddy Riley, y'all
I can't let you slip away, slip away
Before I let go

[Chorus: Blackstreet, Dave Hollister, Teddy Riley]
Before I let you go away (Baby, baby)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?
(I don't see it being a problem if I just get one little bitty kiss, baby)
Before I let you go away
(I just can't let you get away)
Can I get a kiss goodnight?
(Can I get a kiss? Can I get a kiss goodnight?)
(Oh yeah, before I let you go)
[Refrain: Blackstreet & Dave Hollister]
Before I let you go, before I let you go
(Ha, Lord have mercy)
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?
(See, I wanna know)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?
(I've gotta have one kiss goodnight)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?
(Mmm, don't say bye-bye)
Before I let you go, before I let you go
(Please)
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?

[Outro: Dave Hollister & Blackstreet]
I don't wanna lose your sweet love
So don't say goodbye, say goodnight
Thank you, we love you, peace
