(2x)



who'd have thought my babe was on an island of her own

had me smiling on the phone same page different time zones

god's a real character painting caricatures of christ

and his love for the church enduring the pain cuz it hurts

when i saw you i went bezerk insane goin looney and cartooney

so sue me you was a vision of beauty truly

thinking of all the charm to inflect upon my behalf

forgive me don't mean to stare but your hair is down to your calf

tell me about yourself your culture is polynesian

i love when the breeds be mixin our blueprint is in ephesians

instantaneously cultures collided decided we'd ride it

spent time in prayer separately so we wouldn't have to hide it

fictitious image brought to life reflection of love

carefully inspected with gloves so fragile my darling was

and i aint need miss cleo to re-assure me that i got her

scored big like the opening week of harry potter



slow down hold up 

i want you to be,want you to be mine

hey baby hey baby hey baby

slow down hold up 

i want you to be, want you to be mine

hey baby hey baby hey baby

we could hook up 

we could book up  

we can get married

this is my gift to you

my love is true

we can get married



in the beginning i hesitated debated within my soul

wrestling with my feelings of knowing if you was sent

enduring the distance alone being content

longing your presence believing that we was meant

submitted my intent i was truly convinced

youre the women in my life i couldn't breate without

and the one I really wouldn't be complete without

and i wrote this so you wouldn't have any doubt

or misunderstanding of what my love is really about

cause from here on out baby its all about us

and from here on out i wanna build on trust

cause the union we got aint no comparing any other

im askin you to be more than a babys mother

my help mate soul tie my right hand

beginning and end and better half of life

to be my lady my lover my best friend and wife hey



slow down hold up 

i want you to be, want you to be mine

hey baby hey baby hey baby

slow down hold up 

i want you to be, want you to be mine

we could hook up 

we could book up  

we can get married

this is my gift to you

my love is true

we can get married



(2x)

slow down hold up 

i want you to be, want you to be mine

hey baby hey baby hey baby
