[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 figure as soon as they lock hearts with another,
|
Something better is gonna come along
|
Well, that’s quite possibly true
|
But the deal 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 didn’t want nobody tryin' to partake in my stuff
|
I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough
|
Oh but one day I, I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy
|
It 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 pimpin', she’s be ashamed
|
But now I found her
|
I found this girl and I see things differently
|
It 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
|
|
On the one hand I could 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 know it’s going to be quite a challenge
|
I know it's 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 place forever
|
Even though I want to, I just see us together
|
And I’d rather have a love, than have 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
|
