Work To Do
Love's Evolution: Overcoming Challenges for a Glorious Union
Lyrics
Oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
It took some time, we made progress
Acknowledging progress in the relationship
I'll hold it down for you
Commitment to support the partner
We done put too much in
Invested a lot in the relationship
I done lost too many friends
Experienced loss of friends
So let's make it official and work out the issues
Proposing to officially address and resolve issues together
Together we gon' win
Belief in mutual success
If you take my life in the shape it's in
Acceptance of flaws and challenges in life
See me for the greatness I possess within
Request to recognize inner greatness
Know you'll get all of me
Commitment to give one's entire self
All my honesty
Promise of complete honesty
No part-time, girl I'll climb, if you climb with me
Commitment to consistent effort in the relationship
Girl, give me all your flaws, don't care you're beautiful
Request for acceptance, flaws, and all
If you can love me at my worse, livin' like you're gone
Desire for unconditional love in challenging times
When you come from the bottom, face with the problems
Acknowledging challenges from a difficult background
Tryin' to solve 'em, on your own
Facing problems alone
Makes lovin' me not so easy
Recognizing difficulty in loving due to personal struggles
Missin' some pieces, thought you complete me
Feeling incomplete and needing the partner to fill gaps
This love is possible but, girl, we got some work to do
Acknowledgment that the relationship needs work
We got some work to do
Reiteration of the need for effort in the relationship
Said if you work on me
Encouraging the partner to work on the relationship
Girl, I will work on you
Commitment to reciprocate effort
They say that pressure creates diamonds
Metaphor about pressure leading to valuable outcomes
Borderline, oh girl, I can't lie
Admission of honesty and vulnerability
When I get lost, will you come find me?
Seeking support and comfort when lost
Love it when impossible
Enjoying challenges in love
You know I'll ride for you, if you ride for me
Reciprocal commitment to support each other
I ain't perfect but I'm worth it, baby vibe with me
Acknowledging imperfections but worthiness
I need someone to believe in
Seeking belief and support from the partner
When I don't believe in me (oh, baby)
Expressing self-doubt and the need for belief
Girl, give me all your flaws, don't care you're beautiful
Repeat of the request for acceptance with flaws
(Oh, oh, don't care you're beautiful, you're beautiful)
Reiteration of the partner's beauty despite flaws
If you can love me at my worse, livin' like you're gone (oh, oh, whoa)
Repeat of the desire for unconditional love
When you come from the bottom, face with the problems
Recalling difficulties from a challenging background
Tryin' to solve 'em, on your own
Struggling to solve problems independently
Makes lovin' me not so easy
Acknowledging difficulty in being loved
Missin' some pieces (missin' some pieces, girl), thought you complete me
Feeling incomplete without the partner
This love is possible but girl we got some work to do (know we got some, know we got some)
Reiterating the possibility of love with effort
We got some work to do (know we got some)
Emphasizing the need for mutual effort
Said if you work on me (oh, oh, oh)
Encouraging the partner to work on the relationship
Girl, I will work on you (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Commitment to reciprocate the effort
