Gone

Kelly Rowland, Nelly

About Gone

"Gone" is a song by American recording artist Nelly, taken from his sixth studio album, 5.0. Featuring additional lead vocals from American recording artist Kelly Rowland, "Gone" is the sequel to Nelly's 2002 worldwide number one single "Dilemma", also featuring Rowland. It was written by Eric Goudy II, Nelly, Earl Hood and co-written and produced by Rico Love & Jim Jonsin as a continuum to the love story outlined in "Dilemma". "Gone" was initially known as "Dilemma p.2" but the title was changed and Nelly stopped referring to the song as "Dilemma"' sequel for fear that it would not match people's expectations and through his desire for "Gone" to be recognised as a separate recording. The predominantly R&B-ballad contains elements of pop music and was sent to U. S. Urban/Urban AC radio stations on January 4, 2011. It was sent to top 40/mainstream stations on January 19, 2011 and serves as the third single from 5.0. Critics generally praised "Gone" for reusing the best elements of "Dilemma" and recapturing the same sentiments though there was some negative reception towards the relevance of the sequel duet and lack of distinction in the song's R&B feel.

Remember that chick that used to live right up the block from me

And I, I want much more than just a moment
See I ain't tryna lease or tryin' to rent I'm tryna own it yeah
this time I'll make my move, this time I'll show improve
To prove that I'm really irreplaceable

Plus I don't know if she's ever been told
But I got whatever she needs, yeah
And whichever way we go
No one could ever take what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby, I wanna fall
Just promise me baby you'll be here, through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you,
Girl you know you got me gone

I'll do it all again if I had to
You ain't gotta ask boo

Kelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Girl you know you got me gone

Nelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Boy you know you got me gone

You know I still got the love for you baby (baby)
You still be driving me crazy (crazy)
And all of my heart will forever be yours
And no one could ever break what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby I wanna fall
Just promise me baby, you'll be here through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you,
Girl you know you got me gone

I'll do it all again if I have to
You ain't gotta ask boo
Boy you know you got me gone

Kelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Girl you know you got me gone

Nelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Boy you know you got me gone

Look shawty I've done told you once
Pay attention I'mma tell you twice
I've been around the World but I've never met a girl like you in my whole life
There's some you need to know
You make me wanna get physical
You make me wanna get intimate, into it
I'm fixing the plug

All my heart and all my time
I give you everything that you wanted baby, just name your price
Mine is yours and yours is mine
Trust me that's a fact girl
You ain't gotta ask 'cause
I don't know if you've ever been told
But I've got whatever you need, girl
And whichever way we roll
No one could ever take what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby, I wanna fall
Just promise me baby you'll be here through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you,
Girl you know you got me gone

I'll do it all again if I have to
You ain't gotta ask boo
