Once upon a time I was a real young kid
I never really thought id see what I had seen
She was so fine walking through those halls
She made my heart beat real quick and loud
I never seen a shawty look so good before
But maybe it's just me inside my head
Thinking bout maybe
She's the one for me
I was ready to empty my bank account
Before I could even figure the two of us out
Damn I'm falling to deep in love
Yea I'm falling to deep in lo-o-o-ove
Man I couldn't figure out what I had to do
To wake up and see her as my boo
I'm telling all my friends she's the one for me
But I never had the courage to ask her out myself
Yea
Come close
I ain't never gon hurt you till the end of time
I promise I'll be good and I'll let you shine
Shine brightly and pretty as you are
No makeup no bs
The truth's all I got
Before I wake up and I go see my friends
To tell him about what a gem I fo-o-o-ound
Yea I never thought she looked so good before
Remember I was just a real young kid
Hadn't grown up and seen what the world had seen
But the feelings they lingered refused to fade
And every time I saw her my heart would fray
So I took a deep breath and I steeled my nerves
I asked her out with a trembling mood
Hoping she'd say yes and say it was smooth
And to my surprise she looked into my eyes
With a sparkle that matched the stars in the skies
Said she'd been waiting for me to make a move
That she felt the same way it was time to prove
So we walked thru life's winding road together
And that's the story of how love found its way
In the heart of a young kid come what may
