Joe - I’d Rather Have A Love lyrics

Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?
You see these fellows out here?
See, theyre afraid of doing
That long term thing
They figure as soon as they
Lock hearts with another
Something better is gonna come along
Well, thats quite possibly true
But the deal is
Youre gonna have to find yourself a love
Or youre gonna find yourself alone

See Im schooled in them
Streets and streets yall
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 Id be
Ready to settle down
See I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love

Its gonna take a minute to evolve
But Id rather have a love than nothing at all
Im 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 Id rather have a love
Than live a life alone

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'
Shes be ashamed but now I found her
I found this girl and
I see things differently
It caught me by surprise
Its like I got two left
Feet when she comes around
I never thought that Id be
Ready to settle down
See I was about to find myself alone
But I found myself a love

Its gonna take a minute to evolve
But Id rather have a love than nothing at all
Im 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 Id 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 Im here and Im ready to change
Cause I know Ive found myself a love

Its gonna take a minute to evolve
But Id rather have a love than nothing at all
Im 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 Id rather have a love
Than have a life alone
Said it's gonna take a minute to evolve
But Id rather have a love than nothing at all
Im ready for a love of my own
