Intro:
|
Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?
|
You see these fellows out here?
|
See, they¡¯re afraid of doing that long term thing
|
They think as soon as they lock hearts with another,
|
Something better is gonna come along
|
Well, that¡¯s quite possibly true
|
But the truth is, you¡¯re gonna have to find yourself a love
|
Or you¡¯re gonna find yourself alone
|
|
Verse 1:
|
See I¡¯m schooled in them streets and streets y¡¯all
|
Yeah I was cooling them clubs
|
Real talk I wasn¡¯t thinking nothing ¡¯bout love
|
See I don¡¯t want nobody trying to part-take in my stuff
|
Caught in a cage in a one night stand could be enough
|
Oh but one day I, I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy
|
She caught me by surprise
|
And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around
|
I never thought that I¡¯d be ready to settle down
|
See I was about to find myself alone,
|
But I found myself a love
|
|
Chorus:
|
It¡¯s gonna take a minute to evolve
|
But I¡¯d rather have a love than nothing at all
|
I¡¯m ready for a love of my own yeah
|
Can¡¯t stay in this place forever
|
Even though I want to, I just see us together
|
And I¡¯d rather have a love, than live a life alone
|
|
Verse 2:
|
See, I was raised by a good one
|
Momma told me what a real man should be
|
She said son pick one, and treat her like me
|
But I took all of her wisdom, and used it for selfish gains
|
And I know if she saw this pimping, she¡¯s be ashamed
|
But now I found her
|
I found this girl and I see things differently
|
You caught me by surprise
|
It¡¯s like I got two left feet when she comes around
|
I never thought that I¡¯d be ready to settle down
|
See I was about to find myself alone,
|
But I found myself a love
|
|
Chorus:
|
It¡¯s gonna take a minute to evolve
|
But I¡¯d rather have a love than nothing at all
|
I¡¯m ready for a love of my own yeah
|
Can¡¯t stay in this place forever
|
Even though I want to, I just see us together
|
And I¡¯d rather have a love, than live a life alone
|
|
Well I chose to be the guy that only chases frivolous pleasure
|
But on the other hand, need to build a dream with true love and affection
|
I knew it¡¯s going to be quite a challenge
|
I knew it was gonna take some time
|
But I¡¯m here and I¡¯m ready to change
|
Cause I know I¡¯ve found myself a love
|
|
Chorus:
|
It¡¯s gonna take a minute to evolve
|
But I¡¯d rather have a love than nothing at all
|
I¡¯m ready for a love of my own yeah
|
Can¡¯t stay in this ?lace forever
|
Even though I want to, I just see us together
|
And I¡¯d rather have a love, than live a life alone
|
|
Said it¡¯s gonna take a minute to evolve
|
But I¡¯d rather have a love than nothing at all
|
I¡¯m ready for a love of my own
|
