Special

Ay, yeah

If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this thing to be special, special
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games in my life
I just want this thing to be special, special

This is like the third time you said you was through
I'm beggin' you back
We loud in the parking lot causin' a scene
Campaignin' like the love ain't have no resident here
But still I stay all in the cabin
Although I know we've seen enough of good days and dirt
I think you cut me just to nurse me back but, damn, I'd understand it
You gave you all and I just gave it up
Put the truck in your name
You should've known then that I was liability
Ignorin' the ways that you would dress for a nigga
Express to a nigga, I heard jibber and jabber
My apologies, I left the wrong man to conduct
Take this jewel for the inconvenience and neglect
You expect the worst of it
But I realize I owe you more than explanation

I got my life in a box, what I'm proposin' is a joint account
It's cash on it
Let's take our lil' business and incorporate it
It's me and you, girl

If it's gonna be you (you), it's gotta be right (okay)
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this to be special, special
(I hear you talkin', ma, I hear you talkin')
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right (okay, uh-huh)
No time for games in my life
I just want this thing to be special, special
(I hear you talkin', ma, I hear you talkin')

First of all, love, your soul caller
Before me helped create and shape your distorted image
See every man don't play games or even scrimmage
Well, that's a lie but I'm try to be that only one
You look to, to make you smile
But first you need to check my files
Understand I play the part of the stereotypical man
And regret the pain that I may have left my flame
My people say, "Yo, that's a fine girl you mess with"
But I told em' what we have ain't a mess
Your charm must have calluses from the grip
That it has on my heart that I ain't tryin' to rip
But by now we both should know
That it's no longer where you at but where we tryin' to go
So do you background checks so I can pass through these borders
And stamp my name on a little man or a daughter
Come on, girl

If it's gonna be you (uh-huh), it's gotta be right (gotta be right, yeah)
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this to be special, special
(I hear you talkin', ma, I hear you talkin')
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right (uh-huh, okay)
No time for games in my life
I just want this to be special (special), special (special)

If it's gonna be you (uh-huh), it's gotta be right (okay)
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this to be special, special
(I hear you talkin', ma, I hear you talkin 'bout it)
If it's gonna be you (uh-huh), it's gotta be right (you, you, you, you)
No time for games in my life
I just want this thing to be special, special
(Talk about it, ma, I hear you talkin')

If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this thing to be special, special
(I hear you talkin', ma, talk about it, ma)
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games in my life
I just want this thing to be special, special
(Talk about it, talk about it)

If it's gonna be you
