My nana was a high school sweetheart
Granddaddy used to pick her up in his Detroit made car
They were married by the time they were nineteen years of age.
Daddy met my momma in his sophomore year,
On the campus lawn and it soon became clear
That their love would last until the end of days..
Things are different now and the pressure is greater,
I'm a Gen Y dater, a commitment hater,
I'll avoid about any label that I can.
I can talk to anyone at the touch of a finger,
I'm an independent, self-sufficient, free-thinker
Why the hell would I tie myself to just one man.
With bumble and tinder, so many contenders,
Hook-up culture and all night benders,
I'd be lucky if I found love by forty-five.
The grass is always greener on the other side,
Believe me, I've tried, and I've lied, and I've cried,
At this point I'm just trying to survive.
But yoooooou… You've really caught my eye
Youuuu… You may just be worth a try.
So just wipe that fear away my little dove,
Know that I'm here to stay if push comes to shove
It may sound cliche, but we will not go astray
In this digital, millennial love.
My daddy wants a daughter and my momma wants a baby. But I'm still playing the lottery to find myself a lady
And with you girl - I think I might have won the prize.
People always asking when will I find a man,
Settle down, get married, girl what's your plan
Maybe that's closer than I realize.
Those people don't know and those people don't matter,
Rush or take it slow, I think I'll pick the latter,
The pace we are moving at is just fine.
Let's see where this goes, for worse or for better.
And you best not propose until we live together,
And boy I can promise you, that will take some time.
I will do the cooking and I will do the cleaning.
You can make the money girl you've got no ceiling
But I'm still the big spoon when we cuddle up at night.
Yeah you can hold me tight when the nights are long,
You can still protect me you can still be strong.
I'm thinking you and I will be alright.
