Jagged Edge/Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know these so-called playas wouldn't tell you this
But I'ma be real and say what's on my heart
Let's take this chance and make this love feel relevant
Didn't you know I loved you from the start, yeah
When I think about all these years we put in this relationship
Who knew we'd make it this far?
And I just can't stand the thought of leaving you
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Girl let's just get married
I just wanna get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Let's just get married
Baby lets wanna get married
Said I done it all
But frankly girl I'm tired of this emptiness
I wanna come home to you and only you
'Cause making love to just anyone ain't happening
I just gotta be with you
Do you think about us finishing something we started so long ago?
I wanna give you my all
Do you think about us maybe having some babies?
Come on won't you be my lady forever,yeah
I'm ready to commit to you
And I just can't wait for that night
'Cause I need you here with me
And let's start a family
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Girl let's just get married
I just wanna get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Let's just get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Girl let's just get married
I just wanna get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Let's just get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Girl let's just get married
I just wanna get married
Meet me in the altar in your white dress
We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it
Been feeling all the while girl I must confess
Girl let's just get married
The song Let's Get Married by Jagged Edge ft. Run of Run DMC is a love song about the commitment and desire to get married. The opening lyrics show the sincerity of the singer's feelings for their partner. The singer acknowledges that others might not express their emotions, but they are choosing to be honest and direct with their intentions. The next set of lyrics reflects on the duration of the relationship and how far they have come. They want to acknowledge the longevity of their relationship and express their love for each other. The singer then reflects on how empty their life would be without their partner, and how important it is to be with someone special.
The pre-chorus proposes to the partner and wants them to be together through the ceremony of marriage. The message depicts that both of them are not getting any younger, and there is no point in wasting their life rather than being together. The singer emphasizes that they want to marry the partner out of love, not a sense of obligation. He also wants to start a family and commit himself wholly.
The chorus repeats the sentiments and reinforces that the singer wants to get married to the partner to share a life together. The singer emphasizes that his feelings are pure, that he cannot wait for the night, and wants his love to be beside him. The repetition at the end signifies the strong emotions, and the desire to get married soon.

@oaklandsoldier5920
I remember when this came out on the radio, this is better than the rev run remix
@sbrooks729
oaklandsoldier way better than
@oaklandsoldier5920
@Sam Brooks not to denigrate the rev run remix because that was dope too, but this just seems like more of a down to earth street remix. More of my style. The other seemed a little more popish if that's a word. Lol.
@sbrooks729
oaklandsoldier they should have done a video for this version
@1974cfjl
Yes I do agree this one is better though the Rev run aka the 'Remarqable remix' is good as well.
@richardbryant9325
2018 and it still rocks hard
@kevinlucas1975

@1974cfjl
The original and the Remarqable remix are good , this one is my personal favorite version of the lot.
