Matthew West Before You Ask Her Lyrics

Before you ask her
On a Friday night first date
It might be good for you and me to get a few things straight
Before you ask her
And I hear that doorbell ring
Well, 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 matters
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Before you ask her
Let me tell you 'bout 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 then 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 have some things to ask yourself
Before you ask her
Before you ask her

Ha 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
And even when the hard times find you
It's the promises we keep that really matter
So, I guess you got some things to ask yourself
Before you ask her
Before you ask her

Ha ooh
Before you ask her
