| Girl you ain’t gotta ask, yes you’re the one I love
|
| I know you’re a angel, you were sent from up above
|
| I know that we go together 'cause you fit me like a glove
|
| (I know that we go together 'cause you fit me like a glove)
|
| I know that it gets hard, I know that it gets tough
|
| I know it ain’t always smooth, I know that it gets rough
|
| But the thing about your love, I just can’t get enough
|
| (But the thing about your love, I just can’t get enough)
|
| Girl I hope that you know I will never let you go
|
| And I promise even when we fight
|
| That I’ma be there every day and every night now
|
| I’ll stay right by your side
|
| There’s no place so high
|
| And I know it’s probably gonna hurt
|
| But promise that we gon' find a way to make it work
|
| When the night has come
|
| And the land is dark
|
| And the moon is the only light we’ll see
|
| No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
|
| Just as long as you stand, stand by me
|
| So darling, darling
|
| I promise through the ups and downs and through the thick and thin
|
| Through the little arguments and all the stupid bickering
|
| I’ma be a other half girl, I’m like your twin
|
| (I'ma be a other half girl, I’m like your twin)
|
| Even when we gonna fight and I wanna run away
|
| I’ll always give another shot, I never put my gun away
|
| When the clouds are coming in, I swear you brighten up my day
|
| When it’s January promise that I got a month to May
|
| Girl I hope that you know I will never let you go
|
| And I promise even when we fight
|
| That I’ma be there every day and every night now

|
| Relationships, well Sigmund
|
| Relationships are so fragile
|
| It just takes one thing
|
| One tiny little offense and it can snowball on you
|
| And if that snowball starts to pick up speed, God forbid
|
| You better tuck and go my friend
|
| Relationships don’t work the way they do on television and in the movies
|
| Will they? |
| Won’t they?
|
| And they finally do and they’re happy forever, give me a break
|
| 9 out of 10 of them end because they weren’t right for each other to begin with
|
| And half the ones that get married get divorced anyway
|
| And I’m telling you right now through all this stuff I have not become a cynic,
|
| I haven’t
|
| Bottom line
|
| It’s couples that are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as
|
| everybody else
|
| But the big difference is they don’t let it take them down
|
| One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship,
|
| every time
|
| If it’s right and they’re real lucky
|
| One of them will say something |
