Lyrics
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this 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 to be special, special
This is like the third time ya said you was through
I'm beggin' ya 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 ya all and I just gave it up
Put the truck in ya name
You should've known I was liability
Ignorin' the ways you would dress for a ****
Express to a ****
I heard jibber and jab
My apologies, I left the wrong man to conduct
Take these jewels for the inconvienence and neglect
You expect the worst of it
But, I realize that 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, 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 ya talkin' ma, I hear ya talkin'
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games in my life
I just want this to be special, special
I hear ya talkin' ma, I hear ya talkin'
First of all love, your sole 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 down 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 a stereotypical man
And regret the pain that I may have left to flame
My people say "Yo' that's a fine girl ya mess with"
But I told em' "what we have ain't a mess"
Ya charm must have calluses from the grip
That it has on my heart that I ain't tryin' to trip
But by now, we both should know
That it's no longer where ya at, but where we tryin' to go
So do ya background checks
So I can pass through these borders
And stamp my name on a lil' man or a daughter
Come on, girl
It's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this to be special, special
I hear ya talkin' ma, I hear ya talkin'
If it's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games in my life
<span begin="2:42.492" end="2:47.858">I just want this to be special, special</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:45.403" end="2:48.207">(Special, special)</span></span>
It's gonna be you, it's gotta be right
No time for games, it's gotta be tight
I just want this to be special, special
I hear ya talkin' ma, I hear ya talkin' 'bout it
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, ma, I hear ya 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 ya talkin' ma, talk 'bout 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
