You never try me 
Always stood right by me 
Make living lively 
Highly spoken of 
My only love 
The only one, you're my wifey 
Make me life complete, sweet 
But you know when to flip it street 
Freak but only when it comes to me 
See that's why you're my wifey 

This you should know 
Cause you had my mind blown, oh, oh 
Full of junk at the club on bump like what 
I had to have you babe 
Saw you outside, passenger side 
'Cause I let my best friend drive 
You was in line 
That's when you caught my eyes girl 

You were so beautiful girl 
It was so critical girl 
You looked so crucial girl 
Something about you is everything 
You are mine 

You never try me 
Always stood right by me 
Make living lively 
Highly spoken of 
My only love 
The only one, you're my wifey 
Make me life complete, sweet 
But you know when to flip it street 
Freak but only when it comes to me 
See that's why you're my wifey 

You know you're sexy too 
I like your attitude 
I ain't even mad at you 
Girl you're still my boo 
Either braids or weave 
Skirt or jeans you're still my queen 
Babygirl go do your thing 
I'm so glad you're on my team 

You were so beautiful girl 
It is so critical girl 
You looked so crucial girl 
Something about you is everything 
You are mine 

You never try me 
Always stood right by me 
Make living lively 
Highly spoken of 
My only love 
The only one, you're my wifey 
Make my life complete, sweet 
But you know when to flip it street 
Freak but only when it comes to me 
See that's why you're my wifey 

Someone I can spend my life with 
Leave the keys to the Benz 
Wedding band with your gems 
You're someone I feel all right with 
Someone to have my kids 
Someone I can depend 

You never try me 
Always stood right by me 
Make living lively 
Highly spoken of 
My only love 
The only one, you're my wifey 
Make my life complete, sweet 
But you know when to flip it street 
Freak but only when it comes to me 
See that's why you're my wifey 

Skinny designer fit real jiggy 
Ain't afraid to hump with me 
When we get busy 
Ride out I licky-licky 
Till I get dizzy 
Toes done, fresh scent 
I think it's sizzly 
Oh someone who was down with me 
Used to struggle 
Now we bubble count the g's with me
Pop the champagne 
Let's take a sippy-sippy 
Describe you I try to 
You're my wifey 

Will you be my wifey? 
(Yes I'll be your wifey) 
Oh say you'll be my wifey girl 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 
Will you be my wifey? 
(Yes I'll be your wifey) 
Oh say you'll be my wifey girl 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
