Thank U In Advance

Boyz II Men · Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya [2000]

Excuse me, I know we just met

But may I have this dance?

Sitting here with a drink in my hand

Your presence I can't ignore

I must admit I like watching you dance

But it seems like I've seen this before

Girl, you look like my first wife

Though I've never been married before

So I kiss your hand and tell you "Thank you"

You turn and ask me what for



For our first kiss, oh, next week

For when we make love, in six weeks

For the ring you wore proudly three months from now

For when you said "I do" next March

And for those beautiful children of ours

Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met

But I thank you in advance



(Shawn, help me sing it)

Hi, my name is Shawn

Tell me your name

Although I know the last one

It's funny that we're shaking hands

[Wait a minute, I know this hand]

It's the same hand (I'll hold in front of a minister)

Same hand (when you're havin' my son and his sister)

I don't mean to sound so bold and forward

But I thank you in advance



For our first kiss, oh, next week

For when we make love in six weeks

For the ring you wore proudly three months from now

For when you said "I do" next March

And for those beautiful children of ours

Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met

But I thank you in advance



It's like I came back in time to tell you thank you

You were as beautiful then as you are now

Look in the mirror, there is a picture

Of you and the man you love



For our first kiss, oh, next week

For when we make love in six weeks

For the ring you wore proudly three months from now

For when you said "I do" next March

And for those beautiful children of ours

Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met

But I thank you in advance

For our first kiss, oh, next week

For when we make love in six weeks

For the ring you wore proudly three months from now

For when you said "I do" next March

And for those beautiful children of ours

Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met

But I thank you in advance
