[Verse 1: Eric "E" Williams, Blackstreet, All]
Sitting here, looking at your picture
You've got me reminiscing
Who thought you'd be gone (Oooh, oooh, oooh)
Seeing the visions of your body while my tears are falling
(La, la, la, la, la)

[Pre-Chorus: Eric "E" Williams with Blackstreet]
Has got me losing control
Visions of you walking away, girl
You end and begin my world
I should have never let you go

[Chorus: Eric "E" Williams, Blackstreet, Mark Middleton]
(Why, why)
How could I let you out of my life
(Why, why)
I should have never let you go
(Why, why) (Oh why)
(Why, why)
Why did you leave me, girl?

[Verse 2: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal with Blackstreet]
Walking past the park, girl
Again I'm reminiscing
This was the first place that we kissed
You got me losing my mind, girl
It seems like I'm wasting my time, girl
It's like our love is a missing pearl
[Pre-Chorus: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal with Blackstreet]
Couples holding hands
I messed up 'cause I used to be your man
And now I'm all alone, and here's where I stand
In the midst of my pain, girl
Wishing you come back in my world
I can't live without you, girl, no

[Chorus: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal & Blackstreet]
(Why, why)
How could I let you out of my life
(Why, why)
I should have never let you go
(Why, why)
Can you tell me why, tell me why, baby girl
(Why, why)
Why did you leave me, girl?

[Bridge: Blackstreet, Eric "E" Williams]
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Why you leave me in pain? (Why you leave me in pain?)
Makes you go insane
I'm facing a picture frame
I miss you, baby, woo

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Middleton]
Visions of you walking away, girl
You end and begin my world
I should have never let you go, no no
In the midst of my pain, girl
Wishing you come back in my world
I can't live without you, girl, no, no
Tell me why
[Chorus: Mark Middleton & Blackstreet]
(Why, why)
How could I let you out of my life
(Why, why)
I should have never let you go
(Why, why) (Oh why)
(Why, why)
Why did you leave me, girl?
(Why, why)
Baby, my heart is aching, girl

[Outro: Mark Middleton & Blackstreet]
(Why, why)
No, no, oh no
(Why, why)
No no, oh why
(Why, why)
Something I can't understand but I can't let you go
(Why, why)
No, ooh
