Matthew West - Before You Ask Her

Before you ask her
On a Friday night first date
It might be good for you and me
To get things a few things straight

Before you ask her
And I hear that doorbell ring
Or she ain't gonna' answer
Until you answer me

Will you hold the door? Be polite?
Pick up the tab? And treat her right?
Have her home by ten
And not a minute after?

Will you take it slow when it comes to love?
Let a goodnight kiss be far enough
And treat her with respect?
Cause that's what's matters
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Before you ask her
Let me tell you about my girl
She's a Fourth of July firework
And she'll light up your whole world

Before you ask her
You need to know what her heart's worth
And if she chooses you, then that makes you
The luckiest on Earth

Will you build her up?
Don't let her down?
And never try to steal her crown?
Believe in all the dreams she's chasing after?

Will you give her wings
And let her fly?
Cause if you do she'll touch the sky
Will you always let her know
That her voice matters?
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Before you ask her
Before you ask her
Ha-ooh-ooh-ooh

Before you ask me
If you can walk her down the aisle
Yeah, I knew this day was coming
I've seen the way you make her smile

Before you ask her
Before you get down on one knee
And make my girl a promise
I need you to promise me

Will you stay for better or for worse?
Will you put her and Jesus first?
And always be her happy ever after?

Will you let that ring remind you
That even when the hard times find you
It's the promises we keep
That really matter?
Son, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Before you ask her
Before you ask her
Ha-ooh-ooh
Before you ask her
