Uh, I could lie and say I always did things right
All the wrong I did, I never could tell good lies
I was a wheeler, a deal, even call myself a killer
But loving you has changed my life!
I put my... down
To put my arms around you!

Chorus:
Girl, do you think, you could ever love a thug?
Do you think you could love a thug?
Girl, do you think you could love a next player?
Do you think you could love a next player
Could you give your heart to someone
That has always been locked down
Oh, it's over now,
And I'm ready to settle down!

So sad, so long,
To the days I walk around...
Hit 'em up, and bragging
... your face with my hands around your waist
Girl, I cross my heart, I swear I've changed!
And I wanna know, can you find a place in your heart for a man like me,
If you can't babe, then it's something I gotta say!

Chorus:
Girl, do you think, you could ever love a thug?
Do you think you could love a thug?
Girl, do you think you could love a next player?
Do you think you could love a next player
Could you give your heart to someone

That has always been locked down
Oh, it's over now,
And I'm ready to settle down!

It's like I'm standing on top of a mountain
Over meadows of flowers and trees
Girl, you opened my eyes to things I never seen
You're an angel to me
The air that I breathe is changing me!
Chorus:
Girl, do you think, you could ever love a thug?
Do you think you could love a thug?
(Oh baby)
Girl, do you think you could love a next player?
(That's played girl after girl?)
Could you give your heart to someone
That has always been locked down
(Someone that has been always out of trouble, baby)
Oh, it's over now,
(I guarantee you it's over)
And I'm ready to settle down!
(I wanna settle down! )
Girl, do you think, you could ever love a thug?
Do you think you could love a thug?
Girl, do you think you could love a next player?
Do you think you could love a next player
Could you give your heart to someone
That has always been locked down
Oh, it's over now,
And I'm ready to settle down!
