I'd Rather Have Love
Joe

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 think as soon as they lock hearts with another,

Something better is gonna come along

Well, that’s quite possibly true

But the truth 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 don’t want nobody trying to part-take in my stuff

Caught in a cage in a one night stand could be enough

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

She 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 pimping, she’s be ashamed

But now I found her

I found this girl and I see things differently

You 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


Well I 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 knew it’s going to be quite a challenge

I knew it was 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 live 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
