Story Behind the Song
It seems more and more that people are afraid of love or afraid of commiting. You can find many broken homes (now almost an expected trend) and many kids without fathers. The song is basically the woman crying out for a serious man. What's it gonna be..?
Lyrics
WHAT’S IT GONNA BE
Verse 1
You say you love me,
And you wanna be mine,
But then your girls keep ringin’ you
On your pager.
I like your style,
And I like your moves,
But I keep on thinking, “Are you
Just a playa?”
Pre-chorus 1
And you say I stole your heart,
That I leave you hypnotized --
But I don't know if you're ready for
me ...
(If you're ready for me, boy...)
Chorus
What's it gonna be?
When you're standing close to me,
I'm looking in your eyes,
And you sweep me off my feet;
Tryin’ to figure out
If you're really what I need.
Know you got the moves,
And you get the best of me.
But have you got the heart?
Do you got the things I need,
Or are you just the same
As the playas on the street?
All I wanna know, baby –
What’s it gonna be?
(All I wanna know, baby –
What’s it gonna be?)
Verse 2
So, you say you want me,
But you can't decide,
If you want the kind of lovin that is
Gonna change you.
But if you play me,
If you wanna fight,
Then you can keep on movin’ cause I’ll
Never take you.
Pre-chorus 2
You just speak your candy words,
Thinkin’ everything is fine;
But, baby, my heart needs more than a
show –
(Much more than you know, boy...) so
Chorus...
Bridge (Instrumental and Spoken
variation)
Bridge (2X)
What’s it gonna be, baby?
Do you wanna be a
Playa on the street, baby?
Or you gonna be the
Lover that I need, baby?
‘Cuz it’s gotta be the
Other girls or me, baby –
What’s it gonna be?
Chorus (2X, out)
