Angie Stone
Neverbride
[Verse 1]
I been a shoulder when he's broken
A piggy bank when she broke him
Even been a temporary bed where he could lie
And I been the pawn piece up in the middle
And ratchet b*** for him a little
Even been the other woman, couple others on the side
And I been every woman that you could think of
Been the reason for some breakups
Been a lotta different things in my life
I ain't never looked into his eyes
And saw without me he would die
It's been a minute now, but I finally decided

[Chorus]
I wanna place a band on the hand of the man that I love
And know that he would never take it off (Never take it off)
I wanna stand before God and make good on my vows
Trust in him and never have a doubt, not a doubt in my mind
Been called babe, brown suga, thickums, call me later, even called ride-or-die
Been called feisty, and wifey and I must say it was nice
I'm never called what I want most in my life
'Cause I ain't never been called a bride

[Verse 2]
I been called matchmaker by the bestie
And everything my sister let me
Driven past couple houses middle of the night
And I been called Godmama by her baby
And 'Girl, you know you crazy'
I been a lotta different things in my life
Been every woman you can think of
Black eye cover makeup
Been called a couple things that I can't say
But I ain't never looked into his eyes
And saw without me he would die
It's been a minute now, but I finally decided
[Chorus]
I wanna place a band on the hand of the man that I love
And know that he would never take it off (Never take it off)
I wanna stand before God and make good on my vows
Trust in him and never have a doubt, not a doubt in my mind
Been called bae, brown suga, thickums, call me later, even called ride-or-die
Been called feisty and wifey and I must say it was nice
I'm never called what I want most in my life
I ain't never been called a bride

[Outro]
I make it look good, don't I?
Said I make it look real real, good don't I?
'Cause I pick up the pieces each time better than before
Heartbreak ain't supposed to be part of my story no more
I know I'm not the only one in the field goin' through it
'Cause I had too many ladies hit me up say they was goin' through it
I'm sick of giving up he perks to these selfish n***as who won't do the work
It's gettin' hard to keep believing
What we not receiving
