My Wife
[Intro]
As a man, there's a time when you gotta man up
And you might even know how to say it
Well, all you gotta do is just play this
Tell her, "Sit down for minute, let me talk to you"
Better yet say, "Baby, stand up
And let me get on one knee and explain"

[Verse 1]
I broke hearts and I've had girlfriends
Varieties and even one night stands
I've played the field, even thought I had Miss Right one time
But I guess it wasn't in the Most High's plan
I was through but

[Pre-Chorus]
(But this time) When you spoke I
(This time) Recognized your voice and
(This time) Felt like déjà vu
(This time) This time
(This time) I'm prepared for you
(This time) The scrimmage is over
(This time) I'ma keep it real and true (This time)

[Chorus]
Don't want no girlfriend (Don't want no girlfriend)
Don't want a two-week love affair that just ends (Ends)
Don't need no married woman (I even been there and done that too)
Not five (Not four), not three (Not two), just one
(You're the one I want)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife, my wife
[Verse 2]
So just say yes, and pick out your dress
My friends say I'm crazy but girl, I would elope right now
Now hold out 'til we get to the hotel room on our honeymoon
Never thought I'd be doin' it this soon but hey

[Pre-Chorus]
(But this time) I'm not afraid of love
(This time) I'm with you because
(This time) I'm a grown man now
(This time) Ooh, I've got a winner this time
(This time) I see my dreams come true
(This time) I'm prepared for you
(This time) This scrimmage is over
(This time) I'ma keep it real with you

[Chorus]
Don't want no girlfriend (I don't, I don't want no girlfriend)
Don't want a two-week love affair that just ends
(I don't wanna kick it and quit no more)
Don't need no married woman
(Don't need her husband knockin' on my door)
Not five (Not four), not three (Not two), just one
(You're the one I want)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife, my wife
[Bridge]
And after we say I do
I'ma hand dance with you (I'ma dance with you)
Tell the DJ to play that jam
DJ Wayne Williams, play that jam
And after we say I do (Say yes)
I'ma line dance with you (I'ma dance with my number one)
And tell the DJ to play that jam
Hey, Kenny Dope, man, play that jam?
I brought you here 'cause I want you to be my

[Chorus]
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife, my wife
(Call your girlfriends)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
(And I've gotten everything, said the ring waiting for you)
My wife (My wife), my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife (My wife)
I want you to be my wife, my wife
[Outro]
Say, say, say yes
