We've been together for some time
She's ready to take the next step
Heavily it weighs on her mind
But I'm not ready to move forward yet
She said I love being with you
You know I live for these moments
But before I can decide to stay
Tell me where are we going
Told her I don't know
Only thing I'm one-hundred percent about
Is the music is ready to go
So I'm going to give it a go
Independent so that I'm in control
Meanwhile I'm just taking it slow
I ain't concerned about no X's and O's
Life's short and I'm letting it flow
But there's something that I need you to know
You showed me how to live again
Without you I couldn't function
And that's why I be keeping you close
What more do you need to know
Oh you don't believe it
Said I got to put a ring on it to mean it
No I get it
See your friends getting married
And you get a little carried away
And change your whole demeanor
That don't mean what we have ain't real
You don't need materialistic things
To show you how I feel
I think it's kind of pretentious
How they make one itty bitty ring represent a lifetime of commitment
Maybe it's just me
But personally I think something that meaningful shouldn't have a price on it
If you really want to give them something special to show them you're committed
Then put your life on it
No exceptions
Especially if you truly claim that she's the only love of your life
So girl you have my promise
And just do you know that I really care
Then you have me til the day I die
And girl that ain't no lie
We've been together for some time
She's ready to take the next step
Heavily it weighs on her mind
But I'm not ready to move forward yet
She said I love being with you
You know I live for these moments
But before I can decide to stay
Tell me where are we going
What you want me to do
I ain't about to lie
Cause it ain't helping nothing by not telling the truth
I could completely make up something about planning to propose
But what happens when I don't follow through
What would I be to you
Think about it heavy
Never said I wouldn't do it
Girl I just ain't ready
Look
I'm just trying to keep it real with you
All I know is I'm feeling you
And I'll stay by your side if you let me
So let's keep it steady
Why rush and risk it
They always said if it ain't broke
Then don't fix
Curious of your intrigue
In sudden commitment
Cause prior interest in it was non-existent
So girl what happened
I know a lot of girls of the marriage type
But you I would've never imagined
Tell me what's really going on
Cause I can tell that something's wrong
In the way that you're being dramatic
Don't say that you're done with me
Girl just come to me
Cause I really hate to see when you're suffering
Just be blunt with me
Keep it up front with me
Tell me really what it is that you want from me
Is it my company
Is it my live you seen
Are you hoping that you can put your trust in me
Well you know you got my love
There ain't no other one above you
And I promise you're the one that I want for me
But still
We've been together for some time
She's ready to take the next step
Heavily it weighs on her mind
But I'm not ready to move forward yet
She said I love being with you
You know I live for these moments
But before I can decide to stay
Tell me where are we going
