Angie Stone – Neverbride lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been a shoulder when he's broken
A piggy bank when she broke him
Even been a temporary bed where he could lie
And I been the pawn piece up in the middle
And ratchet b*** for him a little
Even been the other woman, couple others on the side
And I been every woman that you could think of
Been the reason for some breakups
Been a lotta different things in my life
I ain't never looked into his eyes
And saw without me he would die
It's been a minute now, but I finally decided

[Chorus]
I wanna place a band on the hand of the man that I love
And know that he would never take it off (Never take it off)
I wanna stand before God and make good on my vows
Trust in him and never have a doubt, not a doubt in my mind
Been called babe, brown suga, thickums, call me later, even called ride-or-die
Been called feisty, and wifey and I must say it was nice
I'm never called what I want most in my life
'Cause I ain't never been called a bride

[Verse 2]
I been called matchmaker by the bestie
And everything my sister let me
Driven past couple houses middle of the night
And I been called Godmama by her baby
And 'Girl, you know you crazy'
I been a lotta different things in my life
Been every woman you can think of
Black eye cover makeup
Been called a couple things that I can't say
But I ain't never looked into his eyes
And saw without me he would die
It's been a minute now, but I finally decided

[Chorus]
I wanna place a band on the hand of the man that I love
And know that he would never take it off (Never take it off)
I wanna stand before God and make good on my vows
Trust in him and never have a doubt, not a doubt in my mind
Been called bae, brown suga, thickums, call me later, even called ride-or-die
Been called feisty and wifey and I must say it was nice
I'm never called what I want most in my life
I ain't never been called a bride

[Outro]
I make it look good, don't I?
Said I make it look real real, good don't I?
'Cause I pick up the pieces each time better than before
Heartbreak ain't supposed to be part of my story no more
I know I'm not the only one in the field goin' through it
'Cause I had too many ladies hit me up say they was goin' through it
I'm sick of giving up he perks to these selfish niggas who won't do the work
It's gettin' hard to keep believing
What we not receiving
