Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How about the possibility of you and I
Lady, can we try
Lady, say you're wit' it
If you're not wit' it, then excuse me
[Verse 2]
Can't make you stay
If you want to go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If your heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody love you like I do, like I do
[Verse 3]
Hey, excuse me please
You sure look good to me
With your straight hair or braids
Kinda got my momma's ways (Kinda got my momma's ways)
How about the possibility of you and I
Lady, can we try
Lady, say you're wit' it
If you're not wit it, then excuse me
[Verse 4]
The first time I saw your thighs
That's when I realized
My heart, it skipped a beat
I can't seem to make you see
I tried everything in my book
I'm laughing 'cause you won't even look
I gotta stop wasting my time, so excuse me please
[Verse 5]
Can't make you stay
If you wanna go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If your heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody love you like I do, like I do
[Verse 6]
I ma try this one more time
You look like virgin eyes
This one here might be true
And here's a few rules for you
I, I wanna be married but free
I gotta let the drama miss me
Could this apple fit on your tree?
If not, excuse me please
[Verse 7]
Hey, excuse me please
You sure look good to me
With your straight hair or braids
Kinda got my momma's ways (Kinda got my momma's ways)
How about the possibility of you and I
Lady, can we try
Lady, say you're wit' it
If you're not wit' it, then excuse me
[Verse 8]
Can't make you stay
If you wanna go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If your heart says no
There's one thing I'm certain of
And I know it's true
Can't nobody love you like I do, like I do
[Verse 9]
Can't nobody love you, babe
Can't nobody touch you, babe
Like I do
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
It'll be all right, say it y all
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
Love's going be all right
This ain't nuthin' but a slow song
Oh yeah all right, gospel delish
It'll be all right
It'll be okay
Love's going be all right
