Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here I stand
A woman
Talking to her man
I know you're my man
[Verse 2]
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
'Cause I'm standing here
With my soul in my hand, ooh
Everybody 'round here wants me
I think you can, and you should
We could be so happy, baby
I'll be your ever-loving woman
You'll be my ever-loving man
I'll be your angel and your best friend
[PreChorus]
(What?) Wait a minute, what did you say?
(What?) How, how you gonna say no?
(What?) How you gonna say no to me?
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't believe it
Say no to this, say no to this
Oh, I can't conceive that this is
Oh, how?
Oh no! Say no to this
How?
Oh no! Say no to this
How you gon' say no?
Oh no! Say no to this
Oh, oh, baby, say yes
Oh no! Say no to this
[Bridge]
Ooh, I'm so wide open, and so is my dress
Umm, hey, baby, there's no such thing as perfection
But I'm offering you my love and a genuine connection
You could 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 lay-day
I'm the element of surprise, you can call me eureka
I'll make you buzz when I put this bass on your tweeter
[PreChorus]
I'm standing here with my heart in my hand
Oh, baby, baby, don't you understand?
We could be so happy
I'll be your ever-loving woman
You'll be my ever-loving man
I'll be your angel and your best friend
[Chorus]
How, how, how?
Say no to this
How you gonna say no to this?
Say no to this
Oh, I'm standing here, baby
Oh, don't say no
Say no to this, say no to this
Don't say no
Go, go, go
I love you so, I love you
Baby, how?
Whoa! Say no to this
How, how?
Whoa! Say no to this
Whoa! Say no to this
Don't say no to this, ooh
Whoa! Say no to this
[Outro]
Here I stand
A woman
Go, go, go
Talking to her man
It appears to me that you're on some bullshit
You better get a grip and you better get it quick
I'm tryna help you
