Say Yes To This Lyrics

[Intro]
Here I stand
A woman
Talking to her man
I know you're my man

[Verse 1]
In the deepest, sweetest parts of me
Where I can't pretend
I want you for always
Ain't no reason
To try and navigate around
A dream coming to fruition
I need your decision now

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I'm standing here with my soul in my hand
Oh, everybody 'round here wants me
I think you can, and you should
We could be so happy, baby
I'll be your ever-lovin' woman
You'll be me ever-lovin' man
I'll be your angel and your best friend
(What?)
Wait a minute, what did you say?
(What?)
How, how you gonna say no (What?)
How you gonna say no to me?

[Chorus: Jill Scott, Hamilton sample]
Ooh (Say no to this)
I can't believe it (Say no to this)
I can't conceive of this (Go, go, go)
Oooh, how (Oh no, say no to this)
How (Oh no, say no to this)
How you gonna say no (Oh no, say no to this)
Oh (Oh no, say no to this)
Oh baby, say yes

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, I'm so wide open, and so is my dress

[Verse 2]
Um, hey, baby
There's no such thing as perfection
But I'm offering my love and a genuine connection
You can have my loyalty and all of my affection
You're looking everywhere, but every road will lead to my direction

Don't play play, ain't no cause for you to ever say nay
I'm a freak with technique, but the epitome of a lady
I'm the element of surprise, you can call me Eureka!
I'll make you buzz when I put this bass on your tweeter

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooooh, I'm standing here with my heart in my hands
Oh baby, baby, don't you understand
We could be so happy
I'll be your ever-lovin' woman
You'll be me ever-lovin' man
I'll be your angel and your best friend

[Chorus: Jill Scott, Hamilton sample]
How, how, how (Say no to this)
How you gonna say no to this? (Say no to this)
Ow, I'm standing here, baby
Oh (Say no to this)
Don't say no (Say no to this)
Don't say no (Go, go, go)
I love you so, I love you, baby (No!)
Oh (Say no to this)
How (No! Say no to this)
How (No!)
Don't say no to this (Say no to this. No!)
(Say no to this)

[Post-Chorus: Jill Scott, Hamilton sample]
Here I stand
A woman (go, go, go)
Talking to her man

[Outro]
It appears to me that you're on some bullshit
You better get a grip and you better get it quick
I'm trying to help you

I didn’t struggle with it at all. It kind of flew out because the music is so good—it takes you on a journey by itself. When I listened to it, it seemed a little slinky. It seemed aggressive and sexy and strong. [Maria] is not a loser. She’s offering him the best thing he’ll ever get in life!
