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
