ENVOY ALBUM VERSION LYRICS:

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 -
Let nothing come between you.
De de de de de de de de de de
Don't let nothing come between you"
I went to see my friend to ask his advice
He just smiled and said, "She's good around the eyes."
But I'd already made up my mind
To let nothing come between us

There are frustrated people in town
Who might envy us and want to bring us down
We know they don't really mean any harm
That doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around

Got the license--got the ring
Got back the blood tests and everything
Putting on my boutonniere - it's her favorite flower
Then I'm walking to the altar and I'm gonna take the vow
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
Don't let nothing come between us

There are frustrated people in town
Who might envy us and want to bring us down
You know they don't really mean us any harm
That doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around

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

ALTERNATE VERSION LYRICS:

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 -
Let nothing come between you.
De de de de de de de de de de
Don't let nothing come between you"
I went to see my friend to ask his advice
He just smiled and said, "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 frustrated people in this town
Who might envy us and want to bring us down
We know they really don't mean any harm
That doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around

Got the license--got the ring
Got the blood tests and everything
Putting 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
Don't let nothing come between you
De de de de de, de de de de de
Hear the white boy sing his 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
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
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
Don't let nothing come between you
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
