lyrics
VERSE 1:
I’ve been thinking thinking thinking ‘bout my life
Thinking ‘bout this, thinking ‘bout that
Thinking ‘bout how i’m gon’ end being your wife
One day or so i pray
Also i look back at the old and see
How you rocked up and rolled with me
Now you know me, now you know me
You can trust me when i say i no leave
Oh i’ll wait till we stroll down 88
You’ll ask me who’s dated me and
I’ll say it’s complicated
Meaning there’s a big difference between loving and a date
Not a lotta lovers bringing dinner to the plate
I’m saying
VERSE 2:
Wait wait, don’t you hesitate
I’m just being cautious about who eats the cake
Wait wait, don’t be showing up too late
I tend to get anxious, I do not like to wait
But maybe maybe maybe
You wanna show me something that my eyes ain’t seen
I must admit i might be just a little keen
To see if you be meaning what you say you mean baby
Wanna tell you something
I don’t play games no more
Not an arcade stick
I don’t play games no more
Not an arcade stick baby
from Ranavalona,
