[Verse 1: C.L. Smooth]

You're beautiful, the way you wear that, share that

Had many ladies, but nothin' can compare to that smile

That style that drives men wild

That ring could have Big Daddy walk you down the isle

Proper you a show stopper, girl, a jaw dropper

I could see me leavin' Suze and bring it home to mama

What you lookin at is pure bred stallion

I'm slayin' it you really care to know who's jayin' it?

Uh, how lucky are we? Catch you comin' out the shower

And I'm right there to wipe down your body

Spread that scented lotion all around your curves

Anything you want, all she deserves

Baby calm your nerves, make this work

The only thing you fear in life is being hurt

But I'm here to protect you, thought otherwise

I'm here to correct you, you can trust me

[Chorus: Denosh, C.L. Smooth, Both]

You and I is bona fide (It's bona fide)

Can't explain the way I feel inside (It's so deep)

I got your back and you got mine (I got your back)

We in this for life, yeah (We in this for life)

You and I is bona fide (We the truth)

I'm down for life and by your side (I'm by your side, baby)

And anything for you is anything for me

It's a love thing, baby

[Verse 2: C.L. Smooth]

You and I, now that's a hot couple

Put us both in the same club, now you askin' nothin' but trouble

Watch 'em jumpin' outta Red Labels

Got my woman and her girlfriends dancin' on the tables

Shut down the joint, me I'm just laid back in awe

Surrounded by the gangsters, puffin' on a cigar

Baddest chick in the world keep n!ggas tranked

Yes, the hottest chick on the planet keep a nigga ranked, uh

The question is can you top that, homie?

You can probably pull somethin' close but stop that, homie

Not even, couldn't have that even if I stopped breathin'

Don't hope for that my ghost'll be pokin' her still

Read my will, my boys get it all no gimmicks

But I'm here to let you know my jump off is off limits

Life and love you're made for a thug

Once I settle in, you made me a gentleman

[Chorus: Denosh, C.L. Smooth, Both]

You and I is bona fide (It's bona fide)

Can't explain the way I feel inside (It's so deep)

I got your back and you got mine (I got your back)

We in this for life, yeah (We in this for life)

You and I is bona fide (We the truth)

I'm down for life and by your side (I'm by your side, baby)

And anything for you is anything for me

It's a love thing, baby

[Verse 3: C.L. Smooth]

Tote game is crazy, diamonds on stilettos

Travel through these ghettos, drop the top

Let 'em see what I'm workin' with, came to win

How the don keeps you fond to blow in the wind

Hump war is magnetic that attracts loot

She look Wall Street briefcase, pen stripe suit

Your hair up in a bun, spectacles on her nose

Any deal she makes, my business grows

Uh, they say a woman's never satisfied

'Til she have me to fill her to her heart's content

It's my blessin', God gave you to me

And words can't describe, what you do for me

Your C.L. is, love me or love me not

But no one can match this chemistry we got

Why they all call you C.L.'s wife?

'Cause all we got is each other, a bond for life, uh

[Chorus: Denosh, C.L. Smooth, Both]

You and I is bona fide (It's bona fide)

Can't explain the way I feel inside (It's so deep)

I got your back and you got mine (I got your back)

We in this for life, yeah (We in this for life)

You and I is bona fide (We the truth)

I'm down for life and by your side (I'm by your side, baby)

And anything for you is anything for me

It's a love thing, baby

[Interlude: Denosh]

Uh, it's a love thing, baby, yeah

Uh-huh, 'cause I got you, babe

And I love you, babe

Said that it's a love thing, yeah

It's a love thing, yeah

It's a love thing, baby

[Chorus: Denosh, C.L. Smooth, Both]

You and I is bona fide (It's bona fide)

Can't explain the way I feel inside (It's so deep)

I got your back and you got mine (I got your back)

We in this for life, yeah (We in this for life)

You and I is bona fide (We the truth)

I'm down for life and by your side (I'm by your side, baby)

And anything for you is anything for me

It's a love thing, baby
