Responsible
[Chorus]
Responsible, that's what it's gonna be
(Responsible for you) oh
(Responsible for me) well
Responsible, and that's what it's all about
Responsibility is something we can't do without
[Verse 1]
Quality and quantity, we only want the crème de la crème
We can't afford to be like others, you see
First they ain't right, then out again [?]
It's okay mean, the way it's got to be
If were gonna have a chance at all
No love can survive deceptions or lies
We better off just staying friends
[Pre-Chorus]
What's mine is yours
What's yours is mine
Baby, we're together
We both know all good things come in time
And that's just what it is
[Chorus]
Responsible, and that's what it's gonna be
(Responsible for you) oh
(Responsible for me) yeah
Responsible, and that's what it be about
Responsibility is something love can't deal without
[Verse 2]
We decided to get serious
Come with me to the real deal, yeah
Insecurities and slipping jealousy
Will cause our dreams to fade in the wind
We both want to be together
And what we have is so hard to find
Love is something we have to give both equally
And chill, and wait until the right time
[Pre-Chorus]
My love is yours
Your love is mine
Baby, this could be forever
We both know that all great things come in time
Let's keep us together
[Chorus]
Responsible, and that's what it's gonna be
(I'm responsible for you) oh
(You're responsible for me) mhm
Responsible, and that's what it be about
Responsibility is something we can't deal without
We can make it work
I want it so bad
Really bad
(Let's keep us together)
