Girl, you're mine, and I thank the Lord for you
'Cause ain't no other girl ever did me like you do
And all those times I did you wrong you stayed
Got my back, you sheltered me from my enemies
Shared my pain even when it was all because of me
Make me throw up both my hands and say
Oh, there's something religious about you
I wanna testify
There's something church about you
And I just wanna tell the world that you're my girl
Hey, there's something religious about you
Girl, there is
There's something church about you
Tellin' everywhere I go, I want the world to know
There's no other way to explain just how I feel
Kinda of like the R in R 'n' B, who's the big deal
And that's why I'm on my knees, oh
Because of you, girl, I repent and change my thuggish ways
Gotta nigga waking up extra early on Sunday
And you always praying for me, oh, that's why I say
There's something religious about you
I wanna testify, oh
There's something church about you
And I just wanna tell the world that you're my girl
Oh, there's something religious about you
I can't put my finger on it
There's something church about you
Gonna tell it everywhere I go
You make, you make me better, this is forever
(Just say)
Just say the word
(I remember)
Baby girl, it's whatever
When I was trapped you was the key that set me free
Out the streets, baby, you rescue me I call you
You're my hero, you're my miracle
(You're my miracle)
There is no other, no
Baby, you remind me of my mother
And that's why I'm saying
There's something religious about you
There is something religious about you
There's something church about you
Something church about you
And I'm glad that you're my girl
Listen, all those times I lied
(There's something religious about you)
Hey, all those times you forgave me
(There's something church about you)
I broke your heart and made you cry
(Cheated on you and you took me back)
Yes, you did, it's something religious about you
(See I know there something about you)
Something church about you
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
That you're my girl
There's something religious about you
There's something church about you
