[Verse 1]
You took my heart in your hand
Taught me ? ? ? a man
I'll never see you again (Listen!)
I was the fool you could take
Another heart you could break
So let me go for my sake (Baby)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll get a message to you
You know I'll never stop tryin', baby
(This will get by, baby, see?)
You got a lesson to learn
You only get what you earn (No, no, no)
I got this game (No, no, no, no)
And I have to go my way alone, baby (Keep on going) (Why did you do it, baby?)
[Chorus]
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be (Hee-hee)
You keep on hating on me (Mercy)
You just don't have what it takes (Have mercy for me)
So let me go for our sake (It's too much for me)
No more of me left to break (Listen!)
[Verse 2]
I'm like your dog on a chain
My thoughts of you still remain
You signed the cards in your name (Listen!)
I got the pill you should take
All that disease I can shake
Your every doctor's mistake, baby (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll get a message to you
You know I'll never stop tryin', baby
This will get by, baby (This will get by, baby) (See?)
You got a lesson to learn
You only got what you earn
I got this game (Oh, oh, oh)
And I have to go my way alone, baby (Hoooh)
[Chorus]
Just get your weight off of me (Hee-hee)
Why don't you just let me be (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
You keep on hatin' on me (You keep on messin' with me, baby)
You just don't have what it takes (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
So let me go for our sake (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
No more of me left to break (Why don't you?) (You just, you just put it)
Baby (Baby)
Just get your weight off of me (Just do it, baby)
Why don't you just let me be (Why don't ya, baby?) (C'mon!)
You keep on hatin' on me (I'm not satisfyin' you) (Why don't ya, baby?) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (No, no, baby)
So let me go for our sake (Hoo-hoo-hoo) (Oh no)
No more of me left to break (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo) (Aouw!)
[Break]
(Just get your weight off of me)
(Just, just)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll get a message to you
You know I'll never stop tryin', baby
This will get by, baby (Ho-oh, oh!) (See?) (Yeah)
You got a lesson to learn (Ho-oh, oh)
You get respect which you earn (Ho-oh)
I got this game (Oh, oh, oh)
And I got to go my way alone, baby (Hoooh-hoooh)
[Chorus]
Just get your weight off of me (Yeah)
Why don't you just let me be (Yeah)
You keep on hatin' on me (Hee) (You should just stop your messin', baby!) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (Hee-hee)
So let me go for our sake (Just don't ya, baby?)
No more of me left to break (You just, you just put it)
Just get your weight off of me (Don't do it, baby)
Why don't you just let me be (Why don't ya, baby?)
You keep on hatin' on me (Hatin' me, baby)
You just don't have what it takes (Oh Lord, why?)
So let me go for our sake (Oh why?) (Oh)
No more of me left to break (Mercy)
(Hoo-hoo)
You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out
You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Hoo-hoo)
You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Go on!) (Uuh!)
(Just get your weight off of me) (Go on, baby!)
(Just get your weight off of me) (Do it!)
(Just get your weight off of me) (I gave my game) (Oh no!)
(Just get your weight off of me)
[Outro]
Gone, now

Holy moly! I needed this tonight! Does it possibly contain some AI elements? -Controversial opinion- but personally I’m not bothered if it does. I like it a lot! Thanks for sharing it here. 😎🎧

As we already knew, it's extremely similar to the other Jerkins songs on Invincible. Almost like a hybrid of Privacy and Unbreakable. Not lyrically unique or groundbreaking at all. It's not a shock that it was left off the album but it would have been a good b-side like Shout was.

It's not a shock that it was left off the album but it would have been a good b-side like Shout was. Agreed. It’s not life changing but not everything needs to be. I like it for the sheer fact it exists. Would have been great on a deluxe version of Invincible but that’s never gonna happen so I’m just happy to hear it at all. Would have been a decent b-side for sure and a reason to buy a single.

Not sure. People on Twitter are saying this new leak is incomplete. The leak is 4:19 and apparently Michael Prince said the final mastered version that was left off of The Ultimate Collection was 5:17 long.

The leak is 4:32 and apparently Michael Prince said the final mastered version that was left off of The Ultimate Collection was 5:17 long. This will do nicely until/if ever we get the final mastered version. Although we’re being drip fed by the estate I feel like we’ve been spoiled recently with all the leaks and the few T40 tracks. This one has made my night. Thanks friend.

The song was sped up, reduced in quality and edited before it was leaked. The weird intro isn't in the actual song, either apparently.
I like it more than I thought I would but I don't think it's amazing.

^^Pretty much sums up the song. Killer vocals and delivery with a generic music that sounds like what was fashionable in the early 2000s but right now it's dated.

It's definitely an Invincible outtake, that's for sure.

Sounds like 'N Sync, only with better vocals. Good that it didn't make it on the album.

Get Your Weight Off Of Me: "You got a lesson to learn, You get respect which you earn".
Privacy: "Now there's a lesson to learn, respect's not given, it's earned".
Lyrics recycled almost verbatim. I wonder if they already knew GYWOOM wouldn't make the album when they were writing Privacy, so they had no problem recycling those lyrics? Or were they just super lazy? "Man in the Music" by Joseph Vogel says both songs were written in the first few months of 2000.

I think I actually prefer this to the first three songs on Invincible.
