I Decided Lyrics
Ooh, ooh... (<i>I can't hear myself...</i>)
No, no, no... (<i>Can you please turn me up a little bit more?</i>)
I was a little different - I didn't do what the fast girls do...
You studied my rhythm - now you can speed me up when you want to...
Ooh...
They were too cool to run my race;
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face - Go head, baby! (Go head, baby.)
Then I knew he was you... (Then I knew he was you.)
But first, you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...
I decided that you are the him for me... (I decided...)
Oh, boy...
Because I decided that you are the him for me... (Yes, you are...)
Oh, my boy...
How's it feel to win it, when ain't no mountains that you can't move?
Your mind is like a prism for God's light to shine through...
Ooh...
They were to cool to run my race; (Yeah!)
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face - Go head, baby! (Go head, baby...)
Then I knew it was true! (Then I knew it was you...)
But first, you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends,
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
(Never lose, never lose...) Oh, boy...
I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, boy...
Because I decided (I decided!) that you are the him for me... (You are the one for me, baby...)
Oh, my boy... (Whoa, boy)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (down), tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!"
Runnin' me down and tellin' me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Oh, is the way you got me, when you got me, baby...
Oh, now you got me, baby...)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (runnin'), tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!" (Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!")
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...) <i>Baby, don't break my heart.</i>
(Whoa... let me take it from you...) <i>Let me take it from you...</i>
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...) <i>Cause we're one, and the closer I get to you,
The more fearful I become.</i> (Whoa.... that would break me in two!) <i>That'll break me in two, honey!</i>
Because I decided that you are the him for me;
Oh, my boy...
(Yes, I...) You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (runnin' me, runnin' me down!), tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!"
Runnin' me down and tellin' you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(That's the way you got me, baby...
That's the way you got me, baby, runnin' me down...)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down, tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!"
No, no, no... (<i>Can you please turn me up a little bit more?</i>)
You studied my rhythm - now you can speed me up when you want to...
Ooh...
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face - Go head, baby! (Go head, baby.)
Then I knew he was you... (Then I knew he was you.)
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
Oh, boy...
Oh, boy...
Because I decided that you are the him for me... (Yes, you are...)
Oh, my boy...
Your mind is like a prism for God's light to shine through...
Ooh...
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face - Go head, baby! (Go head, baby...)
Then I knew it was true! (Then I knew it was you...)
And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
(Never lose, never lose...) Oh, boy...
Oh, boy...
Because I decided (I decided!) that you are the him for me... (You are the one for me, baby...)
Oh, my boy... (Whoa, boy)
Runnin' me down and tellin' me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Oh, is the way you got me, when you got me, baby...
Oh, now you got me, baby...)
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
(Whoa... let me take it from you...) <i>Let me take it from you...</i>
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...) <i>Cause we're one, and the closer I get to you,

(That's the way you got me, baby...
That's the way you got me, baby, runnin' me down...)
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down, tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait!"

I love this song!! Its so catchy!! I'm not saying Solange can reach the vocal ranges of Beyonce, but were not here to compare them, there totally different artists But Solange is great and I sence big things for her!!
This song seems to be about a guy who cared enough about her to wait until she was ready to have sex.
I think in the first line “best” should be “fast”. I hear “best” too, but fast makes more sense to me.
I was a little different/I didn’t do what the fast girls do
The “fast” girls were quick to give it up and she wasn’t.
Studied my rhythm/Now you can speed me up when you want to.
By getting to know her, he made her feel comfortable with taking the next step; he acquired the ability to turn her into a “fast” girl so to speak.
They were too cool to run my race/you kept the pace with a smile on ya face
The other dudes were not used to waiting (they were so cool so they didn’t have to) he was fine with waiting.
But first you took me around, introduced me to your family and friends, And told them how that once we met, that we would never lose...
He made it known to his people that he was serious about her.
How's it feel to win it
This line makes me think she could be talking about her virginity.
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down (running), Tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait" (tellin' me, tellin' me "Wait"...); Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go is the way you got me...
Again, he stuck it out when the others couldn’t/wouldn’t until he got her and that’s how she decided he was the one.
i absolutely love this song! i agree with you 100%. i actually had the opportunity to see her perform in San Francisco & fell in love with her since.
