I'd Rather Have a Love

I'd Rather Have a Love - Joe (喬)

Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute

You see these fellows out here

See they're afraid of doing that long term thing

They figure as soon as they lock hearts with another

Something better is gonna come along

Well that's quite possibly true

But the deal is you're gonna have to find yourself a love

Or you're gonna find yourself alone

See I'm schooled in them streets and streets y'all

Yeah I was cooling them clubs

Real talk I wasn't thinking nothing'bout love

See I didn't want nobody tryin' to partake in my stuff

I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough

Oh but one day I I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy

It caught me by surprise

And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around

I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down

See I was about to find myself alone

But I found myself a love

It's gonna take a minute to evolve

But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all

I'm ready for a love of my own yeah

Can't stay in this place forever

Even though I want to I just see us together

And I'd rather have a love than live a life alone

See I was raised by a good one

Momma told me what a real man should be

She said son pick one and treat her like me

But I took all of her wisdom and used it for selfish gains

And I know if she saw this pimpin she's be ashamed

But now I found her

I found this girl and I see things differently

It caught me by surprise

It's like I got two left feet when she comes around

I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down

See I was about to find myself alone

But I found myself a love

It's gonna take a minute to evolve

But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all

I'm ready for a love of my own yeah

Can't stay in this place forever

Even though I want to I just see us together

And I'd rather have a love than live a life alone

On the one hand I could chose to be the guy that only chases frivolous pleasure

But on the other hand need to build a dream with true love and affection

Hello was going to be quite a challenge

Hello was gonna take some time

But I'm here and I'm ready to change

Cause I know I've found myself a love

It's gonna take a minute to evolve

But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all

I'm ready for a love of my own

Can't stay in this place forever

Even though I want to I just see us together

And I'd rather have a love than have a life alone

Said it's gonna take a minute to evolve

But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all

I'm ready for a love of my own
