[Intro: Mike]
Excuse me, I know we just met
But may I have this dance?

[Verse 1: Nathan]
Sitting here with a drink in my hand
Your presence I can't ignore
I must admit I like watching you dance
But it seems like I've seen this before
Girl, you look like my first wife
Though I've never been married before
So I kiss your hand and tell you, "Thank you"
You turn and ask me, "What for?"

[Chorus]
For our first kiss on next week
For when we made love in six weeks
For the ring you wore
Proudly three months from now
For when you said, "I do", next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange 'cause we just met
But I thank you in advance
Shawn, help me sing it

[Verse 2: Shawn Stockman, Michael & (All)]
Hi, my name is Shawn
Tell me your name although I know the last one
It's funny that we're shaking hands
Wait a minute, I know this hand
It's the same hand
(I'll hold in front of a minister)
Same hand
(When you're having my son and his sister)
I don't mean to sound so bold and forward
But I thank you in advance

[Chorus]
For our first kiss on next week
For when we made love in six weeks
For the ring you wore
Proudly three months from now
For when you said, "I do", next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange 'cause we just met
But I thank you in advance

[Bridge: Wanya]
It's like I came back in time to tell you, "Thank you"
You're as beautiful then as you are now
Look in the mirror, there is a picture
Of you and the man you love

[Chorus]
For our first kiss on next week
For when we made love in six weeks
For the ring you wore
Proudly three months from now
For when you said, "I do", next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange 'cause we just met
But I thank you in advance
For our first kiss on next week
For when we made love in six weeks
For the ring you wore
Proudly three months from now
For when you said, "I do", next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange 'cause we just met
But I thank you in advance

[Outro]
I...I thank you in advance
Oh, ooh ooh ooh

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
