Romancipation
[Intro]
Uh, uh, yo, listen

[Verse 1]
All this time you've been missing something, girl
And I've been trying to fill in all the empty spaces
Up 'til now you haven't been romanced or loved
But you keep on holding back and pushing me away because

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you never had (Said you never had)
Someone to love you back (Someone)
And when you gave your heart (When you gave your heart, girl)
You didn't give your all (Oh no, no)
So let me be the one (Let me be the one)
To show you there is more (To show you there is more)
Just give yourself to me (Give yourself to me)
And let me free you, girl (Oh)

[Chorus]
Romancipation (Romancipation)
Romancipate yourself to all that you like
Romancipation
You'll never know unless you give it a try
Romancipation
'Cause all the things you ever wanted to do
Romancipation
I can make it happen if you want me to
[Verse 2]
Uh, yo, I can't understand why you act so nervous, girl
When you know my heart is filled with good intentions
And that I'll never set out to hurt you, babe
But I guess that's just not enough to convince you to stay because

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you never had (Said you never had)
Someone to love you back (Someone to love you back)
And when you gave your heart (When you gave your heart)
You didn't give your all (Didn't give, no)
So let me be the one (Let me be the one)
To show you there is more (Show you there is more)
Just give yourself to me (Give yourself to me)
And let me free you, girl (Oh)

[Chorus]
Romancipation (Romancipation)
Romancipate yourself to all that you like
Romancipation
You'll never know unless you give it a try
Romancipation
'Cause all the things you ever wanted to do
Romancipation
I can make it happen if you want me to
[Bridge]
So girl, won't you let me be (Won't you let me)
The one to show you better (Let me show you)
I promise you (Promise you)
That you'll want it always and forever (And forever)
Stop the procrastination (Procrastination)
There's so much love here waiting (Love here waiting)
All you've got to do (All you gotta do)
Is give into your romancipation (Oh, oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Romancipation
Romancipate yourself to all that you like
Romancipation
You'll never know unless you give it a try
Romancipation
'Cause all the things you ever wanted to do
Romancipation
I can make it happen if you want me to

[Outro]
Yo, wait a minute, listen
See, what I wanna do right now
Is I wanna do my thing, huh
IF it's alright, can I do my thing, y'all? (Yeah)
Come on, uh
So girl, won't you let me be (Won't you let me)
The one to show you better (Let me show you)
I promise you (Promise you)
That you'll want it always and forever (And forever)
Stop the procrastination (Procrastination)
There's so much love here waiting (Love here waiting)
All you've got to do (Gotta do)
Is give into your romancipation (Oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, that felt good, y'all, uh
Now, if you don't mind, can I do it one more time, y'all? (Yeah)
Come on, uh
So girl, won't you let me be (Won't you let me)
The one to show you better (Let me show you)
I promise you (Show you)
That you'll want it always and forever (And forever, yeah)
Stop the procrastination (Procrastination)
There's so much love here waiting (Love here waiting)
All you've got to do (All you've gotta do)
Is give into your romancipation
Yeah, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, good Lord
I think now it's about that time, y'all
Can I take it home? (Yeah)
Come on, uh
So girl, won't you let me be (Won't you let me)
The one to show you better (Let me show you)
I promise you (Promise you, baby)
That you'll want it always and forever (Forever)
Stop the procrastination (Procrastination)
