Sometimes a ring don't mean a thing
Diamond rings will come and go
But this is what u ladies need to know

Yo, I know us brothers do a whole lot of things
That make you sisters think we ain't worth a thing
But let me tell you 'bout this one special thing
When a man's ready to be faithful
It's a feeling no man can deny and it's a moment no money can buy
'Cause when it comes it comes that's when the playing is done
A woman's victory is won

This is what it means - when man says he needs you
This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you
This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you
This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won

That's when he's ready to be faithful
When we feel no shame crying in pain
When he's ready to be faithful
When we realize that games don't bring gain
When he's ready to be faithful
Hey hey yeah yeah yeah
Ready to be faithful

Faithfulness is a serious thing
But some of us we really fear the feeling
But when we get hit with the
True meaning of when a man's ready to be faithful
We give up games and give you all that you like
We wouldn't even dear to tell you a lie
'Cause when it comes it comes that's when the playing is done
A woman's victory is won

This is what it means - when man says he needs you
This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you
This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you
This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won

That's when he's ready to be faithful
When we feel no shame crying in pain
When he's ready to be faithful
Ready
That's when he's ready to be faithful
The moment every woman is longing for
It's when he's ready to be faithful
When happiness comes knockin' at your door

My love will make you feel better than your brain on drugs
When I'm ready I'll be faithful and my love
Will never rub you wrong girl
Picture me and you girl when the time comes if it comes
I would lace you with them diamonds and pearls
Let me know would you ride with me
If i get locked would you be there still rolling with me
Or would you snitch to the feds 'cause you know 'bout me
Try to stop me on my grind and live your own dynasty
But, if you wanna be my shining star
I'll be there don't worry just be who you are
I'll give you all you need that house that car
I'll give you love, don't you see I'm faithful

This is what it means - when man says he needs you
This is what it means - when he says he can't breathe without you
This is what it means - he says he can't live a minute without you
This is what it means - when the playing is done and your victory is won
