I’d Rather Have a Love Lyrics

[Intro]
Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?
You see, these fellas out here
You see, they're afraid of doing that long term thing
They figure as soon as they lock hearts with another
Something better is gonna come along
Well, that's quite possibly true
But the deal is, you're gonna have to find yourself a love
Or you're gonna find yourself alone

[Verse 1]
See, I was cool in them streets (In the streets, y'all)
Yeah, I was cool in them clubs
Real talk, I wasn't thinking nothing 'bout love (Oh no, no, no)
See, I didn't want nobody tryna partake in my stuff (Oh no)
I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, but one day I) I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy
(It caught me by surprise)
And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around
(Oh, I) I never thought that Id be ready to settle down (No)
See, I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love

[Chorus]
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own, yeah, yeah
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love than have a life alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
See, I was raised by a good one
Mama told me what a real man should be (Mhm)
She said, "Son, pick one, and treat her like me"
But I took all of her wisdom, and I used it for selfish gain
And I know if she saw all this pimpin', she'd be ashamed

[Pre-Chorus]
(Whoa, but now I found her)
I found this girl and I see things differently
(It caught me by surprise)
It's like I got two left feet when she comes around
(Oh, I) I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down (No)
See, I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love, I know

[Chorus]
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love than have a life alone

[Bridge]
On the one hand I could chose to be the guy
That only chases frivolous pleasures
But on the other hand, need to build a dream
With true love and affection
I know it's going to be quite a challenge
I know it's gonna take some time (Some time)
But I'm here and I'm ready to change
'Cause I know I've found myself a love, yeah

[Chorus]
It's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own
Can't stay in this place forever
Even though I want to, I just see us together
And I'd rather have a love than have a life alone

[Outro]
Ooh, said it's gonna take a minute to evolve
But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
I'm ready for a love of my own
