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
