When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.

You're the first, the last, and my everything and the answer to all my dreams. You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star, my kind of wonderful, that's what you are

There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.
