Verse 1
It’s the middle of the night and I’m staring at the clock,
I thought we had forever but I know that time don’t stop,
All hear is tic…toc,
Before you walk out my door,
I won’t see that pretty face no more,
You say I’m afraid of commitment but baby that’s not true,
I just wanna hear from God before I marry you,
I want to be sure when we walk down that aisle,
That I’ll rarely make you cry, and always make you smile,
Baby understand this is a one-time thing,
That this love will endure forever if I give you this ring,
I aint trying to go down to no court to file for no ugly divorce,
You say I’m wasting much time,
But baby I wanna be sure your mine,
48 hours until you’re gone,
I don’t want be alone,
Chorus
They say that time don’t stand still for no man,
So while I’m here I’m go do all that I can,
I just want to please you
What do I gotta do to show you that I need you
I’ll be here for you baby that’s no doubt,
I aint going nowhere, cuz I can’t be without you,
I’ll take our love a step higher,
You’re what I want my heart’s desire,
I’m standing still, baby know that I will, be here.
Verse 2
I knew that you were the one when I first laid eyes on you,
The way you looked at me, your smile so sweet, I didn’t know what to do,
Baby understand, that I ain’t like my boys,
I don’t wanna whisper sweet nothings; you’re worth much more than all that noise,
Yeah I could put a ring on your finger,
While I’m taking her to dinner,
But I’m not trying to run that type of game,
I don’t want you to think I’m the same,
As all the other guys in your life,
Cause I know they ain’t treat you right,
Baby baby please don’t leave, just let me talk to God,
I just need some clarity and time to work this out,
If you leave, I don’t know what I’d do,
You are my homey, my best friend, my boo,
Baby please don’t leave…
Chorus
They say that time don’t stand still for no man,
So while I’m here I’m go do all that I can,
I just want to please you
What I gotta do to show you that I need you
I’ll be here for you baby that’s no doubt,
I aint going nowhere, cuz I can’t be without you,
I’ll take our love a step higher,
You’re what I want my heart’s desire,
I’m standing still, baby know that I will, be here.
Bridge
If you leave,
You’re taking me with you,
I’m not ashamed to admit it, I’m lost without you,
You are my backbone, the air in which I breathe,
I promise I don’t know what I’d ever do if you leave,
Lord just give me a sign, I just want my women to stay,
I’ll give her the best of me, I don’t know how much more I can take,
Don’t let her walk away,
I admit I’ve been the fool, to lead my baby on,
I promise I’ll treat her right, right here is where she belong
Chorus
They say that time don’t stand still for no man,
So while I’m here I’m go do all that I can,
I just want to please you
What I gotta do to show you that I need you
I’ll be here for you baby that’s no doubt,
I aint going nowhere, cuz I can’t be without you,

I am a teacher by profession, and enjoy writing songs and poems in my free time. I have been writing music since I was a little girl, but I wasn't blessed with the talent to perform. I aspire to one day become a ghost writer for any artist interesting in my music. Old school R& B is one of my favorite genre and I draw inspiration from this genre when writing.
