I Do
Jon B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
What you say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
They said it wasn't gonna last
They said we're gonna split up fast
I was a player and i would play you
Nobody wanted us to be this way
Just jealous in the lies they say
Could never touch us 'cause the truth is lady
That I'm still with you
I'm sayin' you're my boo
So whatcha say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
What you say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
Been together for some time
Got to tell you what's been on my mind
Since we've been spending every night the way we do
You see I never want to leave
And if I asked would you believe
I never want to spend the night with anyone but you baby
So whatcha say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
What you say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
Say I do, say I do, say I do, say I do
So whatcha say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
What you say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
Say I do, love you too
Baby I'm yours it's only you
If I asked would you say I do
Ooh I do, I love you too
Baby I'm yours it's only you
If I asked would you say I do
So whatcha say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do
What you say boo
If I asked what you say
I do I do I do

The song I Do by Jon B. is a love song about a couple who has been together for some time and are now at the point of discussing marriage. The opening lines "So whatcha say boo / If I asked what you say / I do I do I do" indicate that the singer is asking his partner if she would say yes to his proposal. He then acknowledges that there were people who doubted their relationship and thought they would not last, but he is committed to her and wants to spend the rest of his nights with her alone. The song is a declaration of love and a commitment to the relationship.
The chorus "What you say boo / If I asked what you say / I do I do I do" is a repetitive expression of the singer's desire for his partner's affirmation that she wants to get married too. The line "Been together for some time / Got to tell you what's been on my mind" indicates that the singer has been thinking about this for a while and has finally built up the courage to ask. His partner's response is not revealed in the song, but the final lines "Ooh I do, I love you too" suggest that she accepts his proposal.

Jon B is the truth, he wasn't a white boy trying to be black he is just a soulful man with white skin. True talent never given the credit that he deserved as a true artist, but I will say I have never been disappointed seeing him live. He captures the audience and makes you feel as if you are the only person in the room he is singing to. Love Jon B for life
