We were just two young kids who met outside a bar
It was love at first sight as we stood by my car
Never gave up on each other, we'd always be together
Introduced her to my mother, she told me that she loved her
We were just two young kids who both just lost our hearts
Then some years go by
She's not okay
I don't know why
Here's what she said
Wife me up or leave me now
Cause I ain't gonna keep waitin' around
It's already been five years, I done cried enough tears
I'm surprised that I ain't drowned
Change my name or leave me be
Cause you're not gonna keep playin' with me
Just to wait another five years, tell me that you're done here
I'ma need a guarantee
Wife me up
It was the first time I realized she wanted more
I had to make up my mind 'fore she walked out the door
She said she talked to her dad, he wanted to know my plan
But I wasn't ready (ready), to put a ring on her hand
It was the first time I realized what was instore
I know she's ready
To take the next step
I just don't know
If I'm quite there yet
Wife me up or leave me now
Cause I ain't gonna keep waitin' around
It's already been five years, I done cried enough tears
I'm surprised that I ain't drowned
Change my name or leave me be
Cause you're not gonna keep playin' with me
Just to wait another five years, tell me that you're done here
I'ma need a guarantee
Wife me up
She said, you're out of time
You've got just four weeks
To make up your mind
And get on one knee
Wife me up or leave me now
Cause I ain't gonna keep waitin' around
It's already been five years, I done cried enough tears
I'm surprised that I ain't drowned
Change my name or leave me be
Cause you're not gonna keep playin' with me
Just to wait another five years, tell me that you're done here
I'ma need a guarantee
So wife me up
So wife me up
