I was rolling in my car When I pulled up at the mall Couldn't find a place to park Threw my keys to the valet (handle that for me) I was only there to hang Wasn't looking for a thing I was just about to bounce And then I saw miss lady Then I said to myself, There goes my baby There goes my destiny Onliest one for me There goes my lady She gon' be the one We gon' fall in love We gon' have some babies She was coming out the shoe store Pretty little thing A couple of bags in her hand, Right in front of Macy's And then I saw her at the food court, Sipping lemonade,and conversating On her cell phone,looking so amazing And I said to myself There goes my baby There goes my destiny Onliest one for me There goes my lady She gon' be the one We gon' fall in love We gon' have some babies She gon' wear my ring She gon' take my name Take her to the cookout Me and her gon' hang Take her to my mama house Meet smokey and them If she need her hair done I think my cousin can I'll treat her like a queen Give her everything She will be my girl Till we old and gray, And I knew it from the moment, That I saw her lovely, lovely face
