"Let Nothing Come Between You (Alternate Version)" lyrics

Ooh-ooh

When my mama met my girl, she took me aside
She's a soft-spoken woman, but she speaks her mind
She said, "De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between you
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between you"
Well, I went to see my friend to ask his advice
He just smiled and, "She's good around the eyes"
But I'd already made up my mind
To let nothing interfere with her and I

There's some are frustrated people in town
Who might envy us and wanna bring us down
We know they don't really mean any harm
But that doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around, hey

Got the license, got the ring
Got the blood tests and everything
Puttin' on my boutonniere, it's her favorite flower
Then I'm walking down the altar and I'm gonna take the vow
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
De-de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between us
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Let this white boy sing his love song

There are frustrated people in town
Who might mess with us and try to bring us down
We know they don't really mean us any harm
But that doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around

De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between us, yeah
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between us

I have advice for the young and old
If I may be so bold
When you find someone to have and hold, hallelujah
Don't let nothing come between you, hallelujah
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
Don't let nothing come between you
De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de

De-de-de-de-de, de-de-de-de-de
De-de-de-de-de, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
