Song Lyrics

It's funny how you wake up
Say you wanna break up
You say, "Time's out on my Jacob"
You've been watchin' and observin'
And don't know where we're goin'
You ain't got time for blowin'

It's apparent here lately
That you've been actin' shady
An' with everythin' you doin'
You ain't tryin' to involve me
You really need to stop it
We done came a long damn way

We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From walking to the bus to two cars for us
We done came a long way
We done come a long long way

Maybe I should tighten up
Or maybe should I lighten up?
And show you that I got your back
Even though sometimes I act
Like I don't hear what you're sayin' now
Maybe I should stop playin' round

Show you I'm a real man
And hopefully you'll understand
That I ain't goin' nowhere
Ain't no need to take it there
Don't want you put them bags away
We done came a long way

We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From meeting both of your parents and to a stroller and a carriage
We done came a long way
We done came a long way

Sometimes it gets rough
And you go through some things
Sometimes it seems like too much
Girl, but we got to stop and think
One day I hope you wear my weddin' ring
'cause only you know where we've been
And you know we've come too far, yeah

'cause you were there
When I was set down in the ghetto
We've come too far to turn around

We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
We done came a long long long long long long way

We done came a long way
Put your bags down, sit down, let me talk to you
We done came a long way
I'm not worried what nobody gotta say 'cause
We done came a long way
They don't know what we've been through
We done came a long way
You know and I know
We done came a long way
