[Chorus]

Responsible, that's what it's gonna be

(Responsible for you) oh

(Responsible for me) well

Responsible, and that's what it's all about

Responsibility is something we can't do without


[Verse 1]

Quality and quantity, we only want the crème de la crème

We can't afford to be like others, you see

First they ain't right, then out again [?]

It's okay mean, the way it's got to be

If were gonna have a chance at all

No love can survive deceptions or lies

We better off just staying friends


[Pre-Chorus]

What's mine is yours

What's yours is mine

Baby, we're together

We both know all good things come in time

And that's just what it is


[Chorus]

Responsible, and that's what it's gonna be

(Responsible for you) oh

(Responsible for me) yeah

Responsible, and that's what it be about

Responsibility is something love can't deal without


[Verse 2]

We decided to get serious

Come with me to the real deal, yeah

Insecurities and slipping jealousy

Will cause our dreams to fade in the wind

We both want to be together

And what we have is so hard to find

Love is something we have to give both equally

And chill, and wait until the right time


[Pre-Chorus]

My love is yours

Your love is mine

Baby, this could be forever

We both know that all great things come in time

Let's keep us together


[Chorus]

Responsible, and that's what it's gonna be

(I'm responsible for you) oh

(You're responsible for me) mhm

Responsible, and that's what it be about

Responsibility is something we can't deal without

We can make it work

I want it so bad

Really bad

(Let's keep us together)
