Sometimes a ring don't mean a thing Diamond rings will come and go But this is what you ladies need to know Yo, I know us brothers do a whole lot of things That make you sisters think we ain't worth a thing But let me tell you 'bout this one special thing When a man's ready to be faithful It's a feeling no man can deny and it's a moment no money can buy 'Cause when it comes it comes that's when the playing is done A woman's victory is won This is what it means - when man says he needs you This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won That's when he's ready to be faithful When we feel no shame crying in pain When he's ready to be faithful When we realize that games don't bring gain When he's ready to be faithful Hey hey yeah yeah yeah Ready to be faithful Faithfulness is a serious thing But some of us we really fear the feeling But when we get hit with the True meaning of when a man's ready to be faithful We give up games and give you all that you like We wouldn't even dear to tell you a lie 'Cause when it comes it comes that's when the playing is done A woman's victory is won This is what it means - when man says he needs you This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won That's when he's ready to be faithful When we feel no shame crying in pain When he's ready to be faithful Ready That's when he's ready to be faithful The moment every woman is longing for It's when he's ready to be faithful When happiness comes knockin' at your door My love will make you feel better than your brain on drugs When I'm ready I'll be faithful and my love Will never rub you wrong girl Picture me and you girl when the time comes if it comes I would lace you with them diamonds and pearls Let me know would you ride with me If I get locked would you be there still rolling with me Or would you snitch to the feds 'cause you know 'bout me Try to stop me on my grind and live your own dynasty But, if you wanna be my shining star I'll be there don't worry just be who you are I'll give you all you need that house that car I'll give you love, don't you see I'm faithful This is what it means - when man says he needs you This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won
