Read the lyrics to “Never Worn White” below.

You love the hell out of me

And heaven’s what we could be

I’ve stood on the edge of love

But never took the leap

And you took my armor off

Did it delicately

And I let my guard down

To show you what’s underneath

Thank God that you were man enough to come

Answer my mamma’s prayers

You asked the question

I said yes, but I’m scared

‘Cause I’ve never worn white

But I wanna get it right

Yeah, I really wanna try with you

No, I’ve never worn white

But I’m standing here tonight

‘Cause I really wanna say, I do…I do

See us in sixty years with a full family tree

Give my blood, sweat, and tears to reach our destiny

‘Cause love is a minefield, let’s take this walk, baby

‘Cause at the end of it all, I choose and you choose me

Thank God I was woman enough to come

Answer your father’s prayers

You asked the question

I could tell you were scared

‘Cause I’ve never worn white

But I wanna get it right

Yeah, I really wanna try with you

No, I’ve never worn white

But I’m standing here tonight

‘Cause I really wanna say, I do…I do

Now let’s dance with each other

Mixing all of our colors

It’s so easy to surrender

When you finally find forever

No, I’ve never worn white, no

But I really wanna try with you, yeah

I’ve never worn white

But I wanna get it right

‘Cause I really wanna say, I do

‘Cause I do

Oh, I do, yeah, yeah

I do
