MIMS
I'm not trying to fight with you, I'm just trying to love you.

Nice and Smooth
Check it out yo, she got it going on baby
Check it out yo, she got it going on baby
Check it out yo, yo she got it going on baby
Check it out yo, check it check it out!
MIMS-Hook[1]
Look
Clearly, it is plain to see
If it ain't meant to be
Then please explain to me
How we, we have came to be
You have came to me
Although we can't agree
and I know it often angers me
it often angers you
that's what pain'll do
Especially when they're saying to you
All the things you don't see, but they saying I do
but I'm saying I do
on my name I do
retire my jersey let ‘em hang my shoe
Right on the telephone wire
Lets grow, let's go higher
till we're both old and tired
cause even when we die, our souls won't expire
So, yup, I really want to know
Since it's really on you..

Nice and Smooth [Chorus]
Let me hold my arms around you girl then take your fear away
If loving you is wrong, I'd rather be wrong I'm here to stay
I do it all for you, my feelings are true from the very depth of my heart
and don't you never, ever ever forget it babe



Nice and Smooth
Uh, Hey girl you know you're so damn fine.
Yo! I'm about to lose my mind
Hey girl you know you're so damn fine.
Yo! I'm about to lose my mind

MIMS-Hook [2]
Look
Clearly it is plain to see
all the things I do effect you painfully
and NO you shouldn't change for me
You should change for you, wherever change may be
A thorn is never pretty as the flower
but the prettiest flower seems to have the most thorns
We as stubborn as a bull with both horns
All you got to say is I do, and maybe we can go on
and NO this ain't no song
If loving you is right, then there ain't no wrong
Therefore we can't grow long
Like a man with no arms I just can't hold on
Knowing that you ain't mine officially
I've got nothing but love like evidently-d
So girl I really want to know
Since it's really on you
say...

Nice and Smooth [Chorus 2]
Let me hold my arms around you girl then take your fear away
If loving you is wrong, I'd rather be wrong I'm here to stay
I do it all for you, my feelings are true from the very depth of my heart
and don't you never, ever ever forget it babe

MIMSX2
Look,
[RepeatX2]
This ain't a love song
This ain't a club song
I'm on my LL shit this ain't a thug song
This is a strictly from me to us song
So I guess that makes it more an us song

MIMS RepeatX2
All my newlywed couples do you feel me?
All my couples still together do you feel me?
All my puppy love couples do you feel me?
You've been together for a while I know you feel me!

Nice and Smooth [Chorus 3]
Let me hold my arms around you girl then take your fear away
If loving you is wrong, I'd rather be wrong I'm here to stay
I do it all for you, my feelings are true from the very depth of my heart
and don't you never, ever ever forget it babe

Nice and Smooth
Hey, I need a honey
Uh, I need a honey [honey]
I need a honey
Oh, be my honey ay!
I need a honey, huh




I need a honey ay!
Oh be need a honey

Overall Meaning

In "I Do," Mims is expressing his love for a woman and trying to make things work between them. He acknowledges that they have disagreements and can't always see eye to eye, but he is willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. He wants to hold her close and take away her fears, even if it means going against what others may say. He also acknowledges that both parties need to be willing to change and grow for the sake of the relationship. At the same time, Mims emphasizes that he isn't trying to be someone he's not - this isn't a "love song" or a "club song," it's a song from him to them.


The repetition of "Check it out yo, she got it going on baby" emphasizes the woman's attractiveness and how much Mims desires her. The chorus's lyrics show Mims's commitment to the relationship, stating that even if loving her is "wrong," he'd rather be wrong and be with her. He does it all for her, because his feelings are true.


In the end, Mims is just looking for someone to be with - he needs a honey to love and hold. The song's overall tone is one of love and commitment, despite the challenges that may come with any relationship.

I have a friend named mimi who is a delivery driver, she looks basically the same as the girl in the video, this is an absolute wild coincidence, she said she loved the song!
