[Intro: Phil J.]
Yeah, yeah, uh
Yeah, yeah
You got a brother like ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
Yeah, yeah
Let's do it, uh
[Verse 1: Phil J.]
Baby girl, let me talk to you
Yeah, something special about ya that makes me feel good
Trust these words, I ain't lying to you, uh
You got that love that'll persuade a gangbanger to move out of the hood
God took His precious time when He made ya
It's like your purpose was to scramble up the mind of a young playa
Mission accomplished, got my whole train of thought off the tracks
My reaction is proactive, I ain't showing no lack in pursuing your heart
Wish I could fast-forward to the days where I'm playing my part
Of being the man to take care of you, marry you
Growing grey hairs, handling kids with bad behavioral problems
Watch 'em grow up, be scholars
Never thought I'd witness beauty and call it mine
Or even desire a future with a love so divine
Man, I almost resigned my passion for love in this life
Until perfection made its way (Made its way) in my sight, mm
[Chorus: Phil J.]
These days, love is treated more like the freeway
You can't really pursue if you have no directions
So you just get off off of any exit
But don't you worry, baby
I refuse to leave your heart vacant
If anything, I'm planning a vacation
I'm tryna spend forever with my lover
The first time I saw you, mm, you had a brother like
[Post-Chorus: Phil J.]
Ooh la la, ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la (That's for real)
[Verse 2: Phil J.]
Life has been up and so right
Left my down days in time
To get a glimpse of you
Ooh, you made this love nut make a move (On you)
I disregarded my comfort zone
Just to have a chance to be in your safe zone
Maybe not the friendzone
Looking for future homes
In this for the long haul
Even if we hit rock bottom (Rock bottom)
There's gon' be a solution for every problem (Every problem)
Them butterflies in my belly, mm, I got 'em
Forever in all of perfection, praise the Father
For creating someone so priceless
There's no one else like this, no
You got a brother on the ropes
And I ain't letting go, no
[Chorus: Phil J.]
These days (Yeah), love is treated more like the freeway (Uh-huh)
You can't really pursue if you have no directions (No, no, no, no, no)
So you just get off off of any exit
But don't you worry, baby (Yeah)
I refuse to leave your heart vacant (I refuse)
If anything, I'm planning a vacation
I'm tryna spend forever with my lover
The first time I saw you, mm, you had a brother like
[Post-Chorus: Phil J., Joe Ayinde]
Ooh la la, ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la (Yeah, check)
[Verse 3: Joe Ayinde]
Cool as ever, got me open off what you say, mama
But you walk it how you talk it, what you display, mama
Been so gracious, hope my daughter ends up this way, mama
It's the glory of a higher power, no plays, lala
Chivalry's dead, Nas with Pac in Cuba
First-class flight back when I hot pursue ya
When I slide through, it's going down, huh
I ain't talking nothing physical, got enough jokes to go around
Because I love to see you smile and laugh, make you blush and brighten your day
[?] the kryptonite to Superman, you're my Lois Lane
And I wear my cape of love then blast off, take my mask off
Show you who I am like last call
And when the lights on and you see me in my darkest moments
It's proven that you're worth choosing and got a right to own it
And that's forever, never ceasing, realize I got a vision for our future
I don't see error, just perfection, I wanna give it to you
'Cause I've been noticing
[Chorus: Phil J., Joe Ayinde]
These days (Yeah), love is treated more like the freeway (No, no, no, no, no)
You can't really pursue if you have no directions (You can't pursue)
So you just get off off of any exit (Doo-do-do-do-do)
But don't you worry, baby (Whoo)
I refuse to leave your heart vacant (Uh)
If anything, I'm planning a vacation (Yeah, ayy)
I'm tryna spend forever with my lover
The first time I saw you, ah, you had a brother like
[Post-Chorus: Phil J.]
Ooh la la, ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la (Ooh la la la)
Ooh la la, ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
Ooh la, ooh la la
