Say me naw get her till the ring deh pan her finger

Love me Beverly well now she sweet and she tender
Deh with her from 19, hm, can't remember
Everyday she see me just a pressure fi me fender
Talk 'bout how she want the ring pan her finger
Me promise her the ring she set the wedding fi December

But she wouldn't even let me trough the damn front door

Well now I try to hit the kitten and she said "no more"
True me love me sweetie pie I can't take it no more
Anyhow she get the ring you know me life gone now fi sure, yes

Before you tie the knot well everything looks sweet
Now she wash, she cook, she clean and keep your house sparkling clean
Keep her body in a shape young fresh and green
All when she a twenty five years when she a sixteen
When you say "I do" you probably think it's a dream
All at a sudden it's like the beauty turn in the beast
If a me you want marry let me put you at ease
I rather gone roam this place like them damn lego beast

He is hesitant to go to the altar and make a commitment that he is not ready for.


Throughout the song, he talks about Beverly's demands for a ring on her finger and how she is leaving him feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied in the relationship. The lyrics also touch on the idea that once a couple is married, things can change, and he doesn't want to risk losing the good parts of the relationship.


The chorus repeats the idea of Beverly pressuring him, and him feeling like he is left lingering without her commitment. Ultimately, he decides to give in to her demands for a ring and get married in December, even though he is not sure if it is what he wants.
