Listen...
Looking back, reminscing on
Caught a brother doing bad, and you put me on
You told me not to be ashamed of what I got
Never mind them hatein' n****s up and down the block, babe
You held it down, and the bills got paid
She said, "Go ahead baby, do your singin' thang
And when God blesses us I want a Lexus
With a hide-away mansion in the Hamptons"
(chorus)
Girl you must have lost your way from heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl your like the star I view so high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl your like my mother, my sister, my lover...
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place
You're the blood in my veins or the air I breathe
On a hot summer day your like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
Girl if you take that back, there would be no cure
I would sail there forever, like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool can see
You're more than a woman to me
Look at us, living luxury
And I been thinking maybe we should start a family
A girl for you, and a boy for me
Matching stones, seperate guests, would you marry me?
And if you'd have me, I'd gladly give my life
Today I'd take this vow to make you my wife
Nothing temporary, you know its quite contrary
Just you and me, for eternity
(chorus x2)
