Tonight
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Keshia Chanté's 'Tonight' Reflections
Lyrics
I been thinkin' about, all the things you said to me
I've been reflecting on the things you told me
And now I'm tryin' to figure out, if this is where I want to be
Contemplating whether this is the right place for me
But I must admit, boy you almost had me there
Admitting that you almost convinced me
When you first told me, how you really, really cared
Recalling when you initially expressed genuine care
But I've gotta let you know, we've got our whole lives, take it slow
Emphasizing the need to take our time in life
I ain't tryin' to mess your flow, but I'm not gonna let it go
Not willing to disrupt your rhythm, but unwilling to let go
You gotta keep it in control, no matter what you do I'll still say no
Stressing the importance of self-control despite circumstances
What you really gotta show, that you want me for much more
Insisting you demonstrate a deeper commitment
Don't say that you love me, boy
Cautioning against declaring love
And that you're always thinkin' of me, boy
Rejecting assurances of constant thoughts
It don't matter if it's wrong or right
Indifferent to the morality of the situation
This ain't goin' down tonight
Asserting that an intimate encounter won't happen tonight
Don't tell me I'm your everything
Refusing to be labeled as someone's everything
And that you want me to wear your ring
Rejecting the idea of wearing a commitment ring
I ain't tryin' to start Sa fight
Averse to starting a conflict
But, this ain't goin' down tonight
Reiterating that intimacy won't occur tonight
I got no doubt you're everything you claim to be
Acknowledging the sincerity of the other person
But try to understand I gotta do what's right for me
Stating the need to prioritize one's own well-being
Don't turn away, good things come to those who wait
Encouraging patience, as good things come to those who wait
Stop pressurin' me, 'cause that will only complicate
Resisting pressure, as it complicates the situation
The good times that we shared, chillin' out without a care
Reflecting on the enjoyable shared moments without worries
The games of truth or dare, on our friendship we did swear
Recalling playful activities and mutual promises
You'd run your fingers through my hair-a feeling I just can't compare
Expressing a unique and cherished feeling in the friendship
You know this isn't fair- why'd you go and take it there
Questioning the fairness of crossing certain boundaries
