Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen
[Verse 2]
Looking back, reminiscing on
Caught a brother doing bad, and you put me on
You told me not to be ashamed of what I got
Never mind them hating **** up and down the block, babe
Held it down and the bills got paid
She said, go ahead, baby, do your singing thing
And when God blesses us I want a Lexus
With a hide-away mansion in the Hamptons
[Verse 3]
Girl, you must have lost your way from heaven
Could it be for me you came so far? (So far)
Nothing like the ordinary woman
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl, you're like the star I view so high, high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl you're like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place
[Verse 4]
(Girl, you are, oh yeah) You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 5]
Girl, if you take that back, there would be no cure
I sail there forever like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 6]
Look at us living luxury
And I've been thinking maybe we should start a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
Matching stones, separate guests, would you marry me, baby?
And if you'd have me, I'd gladly give my life
Today, I'd take this vow to make you my wife
Nothing temporary, you know it's quite contrary
Just you and me for eternity
[Verse 7]
Girl, you must have lost your way from heaven
Could it be for me you came so far?
Nothing like the ordinary woman (Nothing ordinary)
You're the very beat inside my heart
Girl, you're like the star I view so high, high
Shining like a diamond in outer space
Girl you're like my mother, my sister, my lover
Irreplaceable, nothing can take your place
[Verse 8]
(Girl, you're mine) You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see (Oh, oh yeah, baby)
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 9]
(Don't ever take that, don't ever take that back, baby, baby, baby)
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I sail there forever like a ship with no shore
(Oh yeah, baby) What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 10]
You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
(Baby, I feel you running all through my veins)
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
(Cool me down, baby, whoa you're everything to me)
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 11]
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I sail there forever like a ship with no shore (Ooh, you, you, you, you, you)
What makes me a man, any fool could see (Oh yeah, baby)
You're more than a woman to me (So much more)
[Verse 12]
You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
(Baby, you the answers in my life)
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
(I wanna make you my wife, yeah, baby, ooh-ooh)
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 13]
My, my, my babe
My, my, my baby
My, my, my baby, yeah, yeah
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, yeah
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, yeah, yeah, yeah
Girl, I love you, yeah
[Verse 14]
You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
(I love, I love you, I love you, yeah, yeah)
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me (Whoa, whoa)
[Verse 15]
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I sail there forever like a ship with no shore
(Oh, baby, baby, baby)
What makes me a man, any fool could see
(Make me a man, baby)
You're more than a woman to me
(I'm nothing without you, yeah, nothing without you)
[Verse 16]
You're the blood in my veins, you're the air I breathe
On a hot summer day you're like a shirt with no sleeves
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
[Verse 17]
If you take that back, there would be no cure
I sail there forever like a ship with no shore
What makes me a man, any fool could see
You're more than a woman to me
