Put A Label On It
Ryan Follese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been peeling back the label On that long neck bottle
For ten minutes now, spit it out
You've been drinking up the courage
I'm watching your wheels turning
So just lay it out, what's it about?

I think I know where this is going
And it's gonna be a big change
I can read you like a book, girl
And we're on the same page

So you tell your friends and I'll tell mine
We both know it's coming It's too hard to hide
Can't wait for another minute
Let's go and get it over with
Acting like it isn't when we know it is
I think it's time we define the relationship
You're all that I ever wanted
Let's go and put a label on it

Know we took a little time
There's more clothes of yours than mine
In my closet now, I don't know how
We didn't do this sooner
Yeah, there ain't nothing cooler than having you around
Open this house

Yeah I like the way you're smiling
When you're looking at me that way
I see it written on your face, girl
We're on the same page

So you tell your friends and I'll tell mine
We both know it's coming It's too hard to hide yeah
Can't wait for another minute
Let's go and get it over with
Acting like it isn't when we know it is
I think it's time we define the relationship
You're all that I ever wanted
Let's go and put a label on it

We might catch a little hell for this
'Cause it ain't no secret
They've been telling us what this is

So you tell your friends and I'll tell mine
Oh, we both know it's coming It's too hard to hide
Yeah, we do

So you tell your friends and I'll tell mine
We both know it's coming It's too hard to hide
Can't wait for another minute
Let's go and get it over with
Acting like it isn't when we know it is
I think it's time we define the relationship
You're all that I ever wanted
Let's go and put a label on it

Me and you, you and me
Let's put a label on it, baby
Let's make it official




Me and you, you and me
We can change our status

I was wondering the same 😂 but i didnt realize he went country. Still with his original crew but released this stuff clearly on the side. I think i have heard it before not realizing it was him cause i was honestly shocked when i heard he did some country songs 😅
