Long Ways
Un, un, baby, un, un, yeah
Uhh, yeah, uhhh, baby, yes, yeah
It's funny how you wake up
Say you wanna break up
You say, time's out on my Jacob
You've been watching and observing
And don't know where we're going
You ain't got time for blowing
It's apparent here lately
That you've been acting shady
And with everything you doing
You ain't trying to involve me
You really need to stop it
We done came a long damn way
We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From walking to the bus to two cars for us
We done came a long way, yeah
We done come a long long way
Maybe I should tighten up
Or maybe should I lighten up?
And show you that I got your back
Even though sometimes I act (even though sometimes I act)
Like I don't hear what you're saying now (saying now)
Maybe I should stop playing around
Show you I'm a real man (real man)
And hopefully you'll understand (understand)
That I ain't going nowhere (nowhere)
Ain't no need to take it there (take it there)
Don't want you put them bags away
We done came a long way
We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From meeting both of your parents and to a stroller and a carriage
We done came a long way (yeah)
We done came a long way (yeah)
Sometimes it gets rough
And you go through some things (yeah)
Sometimes it seems like too much (too much)
Girl, but we got to stop and think (yeah)
One day I hope you wear my wedding ring yeah
'Cause only you know where we've been
And you know we've come too far, yeah, hmmm
'Cause you were there
When I was set down in the ghetto, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
We've come too far to turn around, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way (ayy-ayy, yeah)
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
We done came a long, long, long, long, long, long way
We done came a long way
Put your bags down, sit down, let me talk to you
We done came a long way
I'm not worried what nobody gotta say 'cause
We done came a long way
They don't know what we've been through
We done came a long way
You know and I know, yeah, yeah
We done came a long way
Uhh, yeah, uhhh, baby, yes, yeah
It's funny how you wake up
Say you wanna break up
You say, time's out on my Jacob
You've been watching and observing
And don't know where we're going
