143

[Verse 1]
Yo, people, wanna know how I proposed?
I try to front like humble and let you tell it, though
I get the better role of tellin' 'em what convinced me to get a bowl
Fill it with soapy water and rinse your toes
I’d been exposed to your beauty before, but didn’t know
I saw that you looked incredible, but I let it go
Somebody this "bad" had to be unacceptable
And in light of my past, I had planned for less impressive, though/
I wanted you bad, I knew that my eyes were liars
The passion that burned reminded me of prior fires
And I denied the possibility of God stickin' me somebody who’s physically all that I desired
But my Messiah had other plans
Which means that the Proverbs 5:19 stuff isn’t just a rant
Or just demands to find pleasure in something bland
But commands given by Love to become a loving man

[Chorus]
Baby, ooh
There’s so many ways I can say this to you
I love you (I love you)
If I could, I wouldn’t change anything about you
I love you (I love you)

[Verse 2]
Is it safe to say that you’re sexy
I’ve said it before, but now I say it expressly
Even with weight fluctuating through pregnancy
It’s hard for me to keep my hands off of your when you’re next to me
Secondly, is it safe to write you another song?
I wasn’t playin’, that fifth verse has come and gone
And I got a lot more to say, 'cause it wasn’t long
And I was only scratching the surface, sayin’ I dug your form (Get it?)
By the time I said I was diggin’ you
My attraction was bigger than just the physical
The chemistry was like alchemy when you mix the two
The product was precious, something similar to a miracle
You weren’t afraid to submit, cause you see the power in it
And teamwork makes the dream work, so now we live it
It’s not at fairy tale, but it’s scary without you in it
Even when you leave town to visit, I wonder how I did it

[Chorus]
Baby, ooh
There’s so many ways I can say this to you
I love you (I love you)
If I could, I wouldn’t change anything about you
I love you (I love you)

[Verse 3]
Bae, you're the beautiful and the beautifier
A make-up artist with skills to make somebody flyer
An artist manager and a dancer who use to model
But now you're modeling truth for those who choose to follow
You’re what I want to be in a lot of ways
You’re intimacy with God, you give Him honest praise
Even socially, you connect when I'm far away
You be hittin’ people up randomly, not just holidays
People love you because you’re loveable
You keep it real and it makes others feel comfortable
Honestly, I’m more honest today because of you
There’s nobody I’d rather have issues with, we can struggle through
You’re more than the sum of your body parts
At the core of it all, you got a godly heart
There’s proof in the Proverbs that my public praise is proper
A personal pleasure, props to God work

[Chorus]
Baby, ooh
There’s so many ways I can say this to you
I love you (I love you)
If I could, I wouldn’t change anything about you
I love you (I love you)

[Verse 4]
A beat that feels this good makes me think of you
I love the way you get embarrassed when I speak of you
I’m understating it when I say that I think you’re cute
I repeat it because I want you to see the truth
'Cause the world be saying the opposite
They want everybody to be a skinny model chick
Even though a whole lot of us like ‘em kinda thick
Lies from the pit that got ‘em rejecting compliments
I be takin’ you shopping in my daydreams
And we be copping some great things
You’re smiling 'cause the way things fit is amazing
So I don’t mind waiting
To see what you rock next: grey jeans, or a hot dress
Modest, but showing off what you got best
I wish that you could see through my eyes
You’re not a trophy, but you’re my prize
More than a bad B with nice thighs
I see you more like the lake of Loch Ness
There’s a monster below the surface
I’ll spend the rest our lives tryin’ to research this
The mystery and intrigue to me is worth it
And I’m inspired to worship, to dive and get immersed in
Gather the data hunt like a scavenger
My hearts ravished for sure, you can have, it’s yours
Because of Christ’s death, you are righteous, it’s symbolized in that white dress, your status is pure
And that is secure, more than our marriage is
The opposite of the horses behind the carriages
It’s a beautiful shadow, but there’s a better bliss
So when I'm with you, I get a taste of what heaven is
And what a better way to get a glimpse
Than to get it with a kiss, to get it from your lips
Like nectar when it drips under your tongue
Are milk and honey, hors d'oeuvres for what is to come
Gimme some, girl

[Outro]
Sweet talk for my sweet thing
Hot and full of honey, call it a Tea thing
Warm like the Sunshine in the evening
No jewels, I got you, I don't need bling
Y'all don't wanna hear me sing
But who said love songs are an R&B thing?
I'll do more in the Lord's name if it's pleasing
An S.O.S. 143 thing
I’m leaving, let’s go...
