Intro:
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


Verse 1:
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

Chorus:

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


Verse 2:
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


Chorus:
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
I know it's going to be quite a challenge
I know it's gonna take some time

But I'm here and I'm ready to change
Cause I know I've found myself a love


Chorus:
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 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
