[Intro]
The gal say it's about time she get the ring pan her finger
Talk 'bout that sake a that she leave I man a linger
I man naw go a the altar, hey
[Verse 1]
Beverly you deh yah gal you looking good
Whant me take out to the altar if only I could, gal
Me had a bother me don't know if I should
A man don't want a marriage if him know it is not good
You hear
[Chorus]
Woman a pressure me left I man a linger
Say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
Gal just a pressure me left Shaggy a linger
She say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
[Verse 2]
Love me Beverly well now she sweet and she tender
Deh with her from 19...hm...can't remember
Everyday she see me just a pressure fi me fender
Talk 'bout how she want the ring pan her finger
Me promise her the ring she set the wedding fi December
Invite her friend and all her the family member
Me really couldn't see me self a step up to no altar... yes
[Chorus]
Woman a pressure me left Shaggy a linger
Say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
Gal just a pressure me left I man a linger
She say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
[Verse 3]
I want to settle the score before me go pan tour
But she wouldn't even let me trough the damn front door
Me say nights after nights I man a sleep pan floor
Well now I try to hit the kitten and she said "no more"
True me love me sweetie pie I can't take it no more
Anyhow she get the ring you know me life gone now fi sure...yes
[Chorus]
Woman a pressure me left I man a linger
Say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
Gal just a pressure me left Shaggy a linger
She say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger
[Verse 4]
Before you tie the knot well everything looks sweet
Now she wash, she cook, she clean and keep your house sparkling clean
Keep her body in a shape young fresh and green
All when she a twenty five years when she a sixteen
When you say "I do" you probably think it's a dream
All at a sudden it's like the beauty turn in the beast
If a me you want marry let me put you at ease
I rather gone roam this place like them damn lego beast
Shaggy say:
