Cute
Canton Jones Lyrics

It Was A Friday After Church
The story begins on a Friday evening after church

The Night Was Still Young
The time of the day was still early, suggesting that there was plenty of time for socializing

So We Decided To Have Dinner And A Movie
They both picked to have dinner and watch a movie together

Out Of Ten She Was A Twelve
From a scale of one to ten, Canton Jones found her so special that she was beyond a ten

She Was All That
In Canton Jones's eyes, the woman he was with was amazing and perfect

And Quite Sure I Was Pleased To Be A Man With Her
Canton Jones was happy to be the man beside her, feeling proud and satisfied

It Started Gettin Late In The Evening Yea Yea
As time passed by, the day was coming to an end

So I Took Her Home
Canton Jones dropped her off at her house

And Then She Grabbed My Hand
As if refusing to let go of her, she held onto his hand

Invited Me In
She extended an invitation to come into her home

I Looked In Her Eyes
Canton Jones looked into her eyes, searching for something deeper than a physical connection

Said You Must Realize
He told her that there was something she needed to understand

There's Somethin U Dont Understand
He hinted to her that there was more to their situation than what she might have been thinking

[Chorus:]
The chorus brings up the main theme of the song

You're Cute, But Not Cute Enough
Finding her attractive is not enough to pursue a romantic/sexual relationship

For My Salvation
His goal in life is getting to Heaven, a romantic/sexual relationship out of wedlock may make him lose that goal, and it's not worth it

[x4]
This line is just a repetition of the chorus' response to the woman's advances

Then She Said C.J.
The woman then addressed Canton Jones by his initials

You Gotta Be Gay
She accused Canton Jones of being gay for repeatedly turning down her advances

To Push Me Away
She believed Canton Jones was pushing her away because he was gay, and thus would not be interested in anything romantic/sexual

Cause Every Man In Town Wants To Be With Me
She thinks every man in town wants to be with her, and so it's impossible that Canton Jones does not want her as well

Naw Sweetheart
Jones rejects her suggestion that he is gay without using foul or harsh language

Then I Said No
He tells her no, he is not gay

You Got Me Wrong
She had the wrong impression of Canton Jones after his refusal to have a romantic/sexual relationship

Mistaken Sadly
He is sad that she had misunderstood him; he values her as more than just his date but doesn't pursue a relationship because they aren't married

Cause If I Lay Down With You
To engage in sexual acts with her out of wedlock would mean he's disappoint God.

I Disappoint My Heavenly Daddy
Having premarital sex would cause God, his Heavenly Father, to be displeased with him

Cause We Not Married
They are not married, so he can't engage in sexual acts with her in good conscience without marrying her first

And I'm Attracted To Yo Personality
Jones was attracted to her for who she is, not for her physical appearance alone.

And Yo Mind
He appreciates her intelligence and wit

Those Were The Reasons
Jones does not pursue her romantically because of his religious beliefs

I Thought You Were So Fine
He finds her amazing

So Lets Chill
Instead of pursuing a romantic/sexual relationship, he proposes they take it easy

Lets Not Go There
They should not pursue a romantic/sexual relationship because of his religious beliefs

Cause When It Comes To You And Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ comes first before any romantic/sexual relationship

Baby You Dont Compare
He is telling her that her physical appearance and her perfect personality do not measure up against his devotion to his religion

[Chorus]
The song ends by bringing up the main theme of the song once again.
