It's Time To Stop Shoppin' Around
You gave me space
Girl, you gave me air
You let me run and rip
And when I'm done my trip
You've been waiting right here
You gave me leeway, you gave me my way
Now you're acting like you're bout to give me the highway
I better straighten up
It's time to stop shopping around
It's time to stop Duking of Earl
It's time to stop Jimmy Macking
And get myself back in
Your arms again
I've been a rover
Girl, I've been a mover
You just swallowed your pride
And stood on the side
And let me maneuver
You gave me freedom, you gave me rope
I haven't already hung myself, I hope
I better straighten up
At first it was nice
Taking mama's advice
And play the game of pick-and-choose
But along came you
And that's when I knew
I found that woman that I don't want to lose
My way was a dream
Girl, your way is real
You had to shake me up
Just to wake me up
Show me how I feel
I showed you my way, you showed me your way
Now you acting like you're bout to show me the doorway
I better straighten up
Girl, you gave me air
You let me run and rip
And when I'm done my trip
You've been waiting right here
You gave me leeway, you gave me my way
Now you're acting like you're bout to give me the highway
I better straighten up
It's time to stop shopping around
It's time to stop Duking of Earl
It's time to stop Jimmy Macking
And get myself back in
Your arms again
I've been a rover
Girl, I've been a mover
You just swallowed your pride
And stood on the side
And let me maneuver
You gave me freedom, you gave me rope
I haven't already hung myself, I hope
I better straighten up
At first it was nice
Taking mama's advice
And play the game of pick-and-choose
But along came you
And that's when I knew
I found that woman that I don't want to lose
My way was a dream
Girl, your way is real
You had to shake me up
Just to wake me up
Show me how I feel
I showed you my way, you showed me your way
Now you acting like you're bout to show me the doorway
I better straighten up
