I got a car, a J-O-be
I’m an independent man
God is blessing me
A lot of girls that I can call
9 times out of 10 I don’t call them at all
The fun and games is overdue
I miss havin’ someone to answer to
I got a house, I got a key
There’s one more thing that I really need…
[Chorus]
I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl you don’t have to find another
Cause I’ll be your man plus your friend
(Well here I am)
Since I need a one man woman
And you need a one lady man (I understand)
Girl we don’t have to find another
We can be lovers and friends
(Well here I am)…
I saw you out with all the guys
I love the way you look with those big brown eyes Yeah
And if it were up to me
We’d both run away and start a family
And on a scale from 1 to 10
I’m givin’ you 11 boy you’re worth that 1
Only you can rescue me
I will provide anything you need…
[Chorus: 2x]
I’m tryin’ to prove to you
I think I’m ready for you
Baby don’t fight my love
Baby invite my love
Haven’t I proved to you
You know I’m ready for you
Baby don’t fight my love
Baby invite my love…
[Chorus: x2]
