[Verse 1]
World got no love for a poor boy
World got no love for a girlie like you
And I ain't never felt more joy
Than on the day when you told me "I do"
Been working hard for a long time
Been working hard I been paying my dues
I'm saying sorry for the last time
For all the things I been putting you through
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
So tell me God what do I gotta do

[Verse 2]
World got no love for a poor man
World got no love for a woman like you
And I ain't never felt more joy
Than on the day when you told me "I do"
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
So tell me God what do I gotta do

[Verse 3]
World got no love for a good man
World got no love for a lady like her
And I been tryna follow God's plan
So why the hell I been making her hurt
Been working hard, tell with both hands
To give her things that I think she deserves
And I been tryna be a good man
So tell me God what do I gotta do
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
Jessica, my baby darlin' I got so much to prove
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
So tell me God what do I gotta do
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
World got no love for a poor boy
World got no love for a girlie like you
And I ain't never felt more joy
Than on the day when you told me "I do"
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
Jessica, my baby darlin' I got so much to prove
Jessica, I wanna make an honest woman of you
So tell me God what do I gotta do
