Could U Be
Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lisa had me thinkin' that she
Was the only one for me
And Nikki had those angel eyes
That changed my mind
The day she looked at me
Then outta nowhere you came walking in my life
You really blew my mind
Now I don't care about those other girls
It's only you I need in my world baby...

[Chorus]
Excuse me my see you-tie
Tell me could you be the kinda shorty
Just for me
My everlasting meant to be
(Oh girl) oh girl (Mario)
From the moment I saw you
(My heart starts racing)
And I can't let you walk away
So won't you tell me girl (girl)
Could you the kinda cutie that I need
My one, my destiny (Mario)
Lil lady tell me could you be

Not sayin' Trina wasn't cool
But you changed my point of view, baby
Chantel was nice sweet and everythang
But nothin' compares to you (yeah)
You stole my heart and I'm torn apart
I don't want to cause the pain girl
I would gladly throw it all away
For what I found in you today

[Chorus]

Oh you could be my summer thang
And there's a price that won't tell me
Have I finally, finally found you baby

You see I've been a playa
But I'm tired of playin'
Been waitin' for a love like you
And I'm not fakin' (I'm not fakin')
You came into my life
And I feel so brand new (so brand new)
I'm so thankful for you, girl I swear

[Chorus]

Excuse me, my see you-tie tell me
Could you be the kinda shorty
Just for me
My everlasting meant to be (mmm meant to be)
(Oh girl) oh girl (Mario)
From the moment I saw you (hey yeah)
(My heart starts racing)
And I can't let you walk away
So won't you tell me, girl (girl)
Could you be the kinda cutie that I need
My one, my destiny
Lil lady tell me could you be





Say you'll love it, baby
