[Verse 1]
It's funny how you wake up
Say you wanna break up
You say, "Time's out on my Jacob"
You've been watchin' and observin'
And don't know where we're goin'
You ain't got time for blowin'
It's apparent here lately
That you've been actin' shady
An' with everythin' you doin'
You ain't tryin' to involve me
You really need to stop it
We done came a long damn way

[Chorus]
(We done came a long way)
From bein' young and in love to it's real serious
(We done came a long way)
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
(We done came a long way)
From walkin' to the bus to two cars for us
(We done came a long way)
We done come a long, long way

[Verse 2]
Maybe I should tighten up
Or maybe should I lighten up?
And show you that I got your back
Even though sometimes I act (Even though sometimes I act)
Like I don't hear what you're sayin' now (Sayin' now)
Maybe I should stop playin' round
Show you I'm a real man (Real man)
And hopefully you'll understand (Understand)
That I ain't goin' nowhere (I ain't goin' nowhere)
Ain't no need to take it there (Take it there)
Don't want you put them bags away
We done came a long way
[Chorus]
(We done came a long way)
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
(We done came a long way)
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
(We done came a long way)
From meetin' both of your parents and to a stroller and a carriage
(We done came a long way)
We done came a long way (A long way)

[Bridge]
Sometimes it gets rough
And you go through some things (Yeah)
Sometimes it seems like too much (Yoo much)
Girl, but we got to stop and think (Think)
One day I hope you wear my weddin' ring
'Cause only you know where we've been
And you know we've come too far, yeah
'Cause you were there
When I was set down in the ghetto
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
We've come too far to turn around (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

[Chorus]
(We done came a long way)
From being young and in love to it's real serious
(We done came a long way)
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
(We done came a long way)
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
(We done came a long way)
We done came a long, long, long, long, long, long way
(We done came a long way)
Put your bags down, sit down, let me talk to you
(We done came a long way)
I'm not worried what nobody gotta say 'cause
(We done came a long way)
They don't know what we've been through
(We done came a long way)
(You know and I know)
We done came a long way
