I want that real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
dammit baybee now i’m mad
That
exchange of attitude frequent like kisses
That
Imma man imma be aighttt
That
you laughing at my pride
because you calm the wildfire within me

That real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
you won babyy you won baybee dayumm
That
telling you to leave just to come right back

See, that’s that real love.
That
Martin and Gina love

That
stompin wit the big dawgs
cause with you I feel like a giant.

See, I want that real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
making a shabby apartment
with green cabinets and a blue toilet feel like a condo
That
meal you just learned to cook tasting as good as my Mama’s biscuits
That
your best friend’s and my best friends grow closer than family

See that’s real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
accepting the mystery of who you are
like trying to figure out Tommy’s job
That
you go gurll
because I wanna be your cheerleader and your best friend
I need

that real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
marty mar love the kids because
For you i will give you a house full of little Rosco’s and Rashidas
For you
I will tell everyone to get da steppin
Because I can’t wait for us to be alone in the confines of our home

See that’s that real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
waiting on you hand and foot
Because like Shenanah says you are a ladddyyyyy

And that’s on real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That
love that ain’t tainted
that love that ain’t jaded
that love ain’t tangled and jammed and entangled
Dammnit Jada
I mean Gina
That’s

that real love
that
Martin and Gina love

That’s the love I need most.
