I wonder how they knew
But I guess, I'm home every night, night
I still have visions of you
No other girl will do

We got to be free from sin
At least we can try
But, here's we gonna do
'Cause I understand you
Let's make out just one more time

Even if it takes a thousand years
I believe that love will see us through

All I can do is think about the times we use to share
Think about the good times, baby
Yea, yea, yea

I get a bunch of numbers, baby
And, they all just stay in my pockets for days
I don't wanna call nobody else
I don't wanna see nobody else
I don't wanna work nobody else
But, I guess I'll, I guess I'll wait
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes thousand years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock

I wanna be your favorite song
That would only bring you joy
But now that I never see you
I can only wish for more
But I
At the end of the I

Should I stop by and say hi
Or just keep riding straight?
I wanna to be your hero
And everyone else knows
That you mean the world to me
So let love unlock the door
Oh, come on baby, let's move it together
It's just you and me, baby, that's all we got
I like it, I like it
Matter of fact, I love it
Without you there would be no life
Life for me to see
I do believe I'm the best when you
Are holding on to me
See, this love just keeps getting sweeter
Year after year
You know you're something like a miracle
Always knew you would appear
Oh, you got me smiling, girl, oh
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you?
Come on, hold my hand, baby
Keep on moving
Move it just like that, oh yeah
Move it like that
Don't you ever go away, babe
Please don't go
Not you, no, not you
Please don't go
Don't you go away, walk with me, baby
Take off your dancing shoes, baby
I need you, I need you to stay
This is what Mr. Leon Ware would say
Making love in the dark
Love in the sun, love watching the moon
Love everyday, babe
Don't you go away, I want you to stay
Just take of your clothes, relax and live
Hold me and please me, I got your back, baby
Don't you go away, please don't go away
You can tell by her smile she's such a love child
And every man in this place would love to be in her space
As the night settles down she'd meet a lot of clever clowns
And I'll do my best to be better than the rest
She is so, so sweet and tender
And I'm glad, so glad we made it girl
She's so, so sweet and tender
And I'm glad, so glad we're makin' love
Oh I, oh I love that girl, oh oh
Then she walks my way, and said boy I hope your free
I'm thinking, how could this be? Feels like a dream to me
Then she gives me this kiss, that gave my whole body a twitch
See you're just so much more than pretty, gave my heart an eclipse
She is so, so sweet and tender
And I'm glad, so glad we made it girl
She's so, so sweet and tender
And I'm glad, so glad we're makin' love
Oh I, oh I love that girl, oh oh
Darling, I'm so glad we found each other
Holding hands, kissing, and making love and saying
She is so, so sweet and tender
And I'm glad today, so glad we made it girl
Glad somebody sent you my way, so sweet and tender
Cause you're so sweet I could never imagine somebody like you
So glad we're makin' love
So glad that we're making love baby, sweet and tender
So glad we made it girl
So sweet and tender
And I'm glad, so glad we're makin' love
This place is crowded, don't know 'bout you
I need some sex, some sex with you 'cause you're on my mind
I can feel your sweat, your body's wet
And I need some help, girl you know what we need to do
Girl, let's take a walk outside
Let's take a walk outside
Let's talk a walk outside
I'm ready to go, go grab your coat
It's hard to hope, I'm dancing, let's go
The mood is right, the scene is bright
Help, don't you fight, I know the time is right
Girl, my lips is what I need you to have
Girl, let's take a walk outside
Let's take a walk outside
Girl, let's talk a walk outside
Girl, let's talk a walk

Looking happy anywhere
I know it's colder but I don't care
Let's talk a walk outside
Let's talk a walk outside
Not in my car, outside
You can scream my name
And you'd be glad you came
Let's take a walk
Walk, walk, walk, walk
A walk, walk, walk, walk
Baby, a walk, walk
Walk, walk, walk
A walk, walk, walk, walk

You giving me a heart attack

When the pain feels like it could kill
It just knocks you to the floor
She screams your name like shes next door
It gets u down to your knees
Got me screaming baby come on please
Well I, promised I was talkin to myself
Looking for love from somebody else
But then I figured out that's its not you
My heart drops to my shoes
See I heard you not coming back from some other cat
You giving me a heart attack
Girl I want you back
I just cant stand it no more
You giving me a heart attack
Girl I want you back
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs,
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I'm a... never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check
How could you ever walk away, after all I've done for you
I feel like there's a knife in my back, babe
You might as well pull it all the way through
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs,
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name, good man
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I'm a... never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check
You watched them hand cuff me lady, and walk me to my room
I never been so humiliated, I don't think that I deserve it for you
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs,
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name, good man
I'm having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I'm a... never did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check
I never been, I never been so much pain, never
My life is better, my love is pretty, so much better, now
Without you, I never had so... without you, whenever... inside
How could you... just... walk away
When the things go rough you quickly ran into... somebody say, I've been there
There's one thing I know so I'ma tell you that I'm a good man, back to you, a good man
I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times
But everyday I count my blessings this way
'Cuz I know that everyday's a different day
My friends can change but his will never change
And I knew there would be some time
When I would second guess my mind
So I kept on walking, kept on striving
Kept on singing
And guess who showed up?
As I walked down the street one day
I thought I heard a brother say
?Living in bad conditions
Can make you feel like no one?
As long as I, that's why I always try
And do my best to search inside
But I knew there would be a day
When I had to look the other way
So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
I told myself one day to fall on my knees and pray
And never listen to no one if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material love
His money, no money, no money, can make me happy
Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cuz I'm using my eyes
I close my eyes and kept on pushing
I just stopped looking
And guess who showed up?
My friend won't let you down
He's always been around
That's one thing I know for sure
Even when I'm wrong, he's right at my door
He'll never ignore
Yes, I got a lotta things to say
I can't say them in all one day
I'll take no credit for the blessings that
He's given to me,
Without him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be
When I thought it couldn't get no better
Just when I thought it was almost over
Oh no, I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
I told myself all day
To fall on my knees and pray
I told myself all day
To fall on my knees and pray
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking
And guess who showed up?
My friend won't let you down
He's always been around
That's one thing I know for sure

Dream on
Dream on
Stop saying the game is sold and not be told
Try to help the child that's only 4 years old
Why, why would you sit back and relax
And watch them kids fall off the tracks?
How, how can we sit on the sideline
And watch it go down
You, you need to make someone feel really proud
Rhythm is the key, can't you see?
Just don't do it for publicity
I, I was the boy in the little picture
Always asking questions
But never getting really good answers
So I screamed out loud and said
Please give 'em the answers
Give 'em the answers, they need the answers
Some people ask me how is life for me
Growing up in a dark pretty city
It was scary but life was good
See in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
It's all coming back to me now
See, when I was growing up
There was a lot of people raising me
I didn't know at the time
But I listened to everything I heard
Every man, every woman
Every teacher, every preacher
Yes, I listened too
And you gotta do the same things
Oh yes, you do
March to the drums, look all around you
Help somebody find their way
We gotta show 'em the way
Do it today, show 'em the way
Show 'em the way
Don't let 'em find out the hard way
Show them the way
I'm comin' home to you, wear something see through
So I can see your heart
For night can never come soon enough for me
I watch the sky all day
Night is where I find you and peace of mind
My days are filled with glee
That's why I truly give you what you need
Because you love me for me
Good runs all through you, I can't help myself
You found my weakest spot
What better woman to, be there sittin' next to
That's why I'll always be with you
Yes, I'm funny like a clown, but I'm never down
As long as you're around
There will never be another one for me
'Cause you are shinin' 'neath me
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You'll never have to beg me to come to bed
I'll warm your bed each night
If you want me to that's what I will do
When I met you I said hello
We had a chat, here we go
I'm so good now, I feel your heart
When you kiss me I hit the floor
I couldn't plan this, went on for days
And that's why I can't imagine when
I'm so grateful that you are here
I feel the sunshine when you appear
Girl you changed my life, my whole life around
You make me see, you make fun of me
See I never want this to die
All of life just should never ever end
Now there's four, shake and move the floor
The more we listen, the more we know
Let's take a stand before taking three
For today, today is all we see, see
Falling in love can be easy
Staying in love is too tricky
Falling in love can be easy
Staying in love is too tricky
You know I love the way you hold me tight
I tell all the girls don't even try
I found the women of my life
I don't even have to think twice
Took me places baby I never go
'Cause I sit back 'cause she's a show
What I'm thinking she's thinking too
Girl I swear I'm never leaving you
When you put your hand in mine and you're in my hand
I know that we will be the best of friends
Who would have thought after all this time
We'd be searching for another life
How could love ever fool us both
After we took turns reap sights of old
Girl it makes me want to cry
'Cause now we're living separate lives, separate lives
Falling in love can be easy
Staying in love is too tricky
Falling in love can be easy
Staying in love is too tricky
Fallin' in love
Sho' enough gonna be tricky baby
We try, we try baby, see
Falling in love can be easy
Staying in love is too tricky
Falling in love can be easy
Let me tell you about my day, it's such a very long day
It started around seven and I can hear her pray
That is why I love Sunday mornings even when it was cold
There was always something burning that was good for my soul
As I walk through the yard I could feel your presence
Giving me the time of my life and showering me with life's lessons
Now I know what they mean when they say keep your head to sky
And don't be to quick to fit in and don't feel you have to try
This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes, sometimes
I am so proud people see the young man I came to be
With lifelong struggles you kept a smile on my face
And as I am looking all around me I say how can I ever repay you?
Mama was worth more than gold and she always tried to tell me
This road is strange, so strange, strange my dear
You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes
And no matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes
There's have been a few days when people truly let me down
And said crucial things just to bring me down
And they will rob beg and cheat just for the own self-motives and greed
But I guess it ain't nothing new just something I gotta go through
This road is strange, so strange it is
You know it really hurts sometimes yeah, sometimes
No matter how good you are to people you know
They'll make you cry sometimes yeah, sometimes
Now how much more can I take before I shot to kill
Don't let them mess with your heart
'Cause what you feel is very real, yeah, yeah
You know it makes me cry sometimes baby, sometimes
Yes it does
Out of all the days and all the stories you taught me about
You know it still hurts inside yeah, sometimes, sometimes
I go through life with my hands in the air saying oh Lord help me there
Oh, it hurts sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes
Nobody can tell me better than you about these things I will go through
Oh, it hurt sometimes baby, sometimes, sometimes
I met this girl named Radio
Said her signal was low
She wasn't gettin' my sound
She kept the volume down
I told her turn up the bass, bass
And then she kissed me in my face, face, face
I told her I had a girl
That meant the world to me
She just looked me up and down
Was her name R&B;?
Started pullin' off her dress
Started lickin' on my chest, chest, chest
I tried to move away
She found me the next day
I tried to move away
She found me the very next day
I tried to move away
Found me the next day, ay, ay
See that girl is so bad
She's rollin', smokin' and makin' cash
See that girl is so bad
She's rollin', smokin' and makin' cash
See that girl is so bad
She's rollin', smokin' and makin' cash, ay, ay
She knows I like it like that
She knows exactly where is that
She knows I like it like that
That girl is blowin' my mind
She knows I like it like that, yeah
She knows exactly where is that
Oh, oh, oh, you got me doin'
Somethin' I didn't wanna do, yeah
I'm stone rollin', baby
Throwing the dice on the table with you, babe
I didn't want to go there
Call me in a month or two, yeah
I know you really want a baby
I think I want one too
But I am just not sure
If I want it with you
You see, every time we touch
I take a chances of a fool
Stone rollin', darlin'
Stone rollin', darlin'
Stone rollin', darlin'
Stone rollin', darlin'
Stone rollin', darlin'
I know I'm taking the chances of a fool
Stone rollin', baby
Stone rollin', baby
Stone rollin', baby
Stone rollin', baby
Stone rollin', baby
I'm taking the chances of a fool
if you only knew, what it was like
open back, you see the light
and you always put up a fight
i get lost within your stare
when we breathe the same air
i see you everywhere
it's hard to let go
you're holding on
waiting for, a change that won't come
and they're playing saddest song
i close my eyes
wishing you were there
but you never appear
girl you worked every tear
oh if you only knew
oh if you only knew
feeling strong, leaving you
might be wrong, sad mistake
in my life, no promises
now tonight, walk away
get your flow, no one can kill
you know i'm right, i'm here for you
can you hear me, on a train
will explain, with a kiss
don't cry, any tear
how i feel loving you
you made me strong, you made me new
can't be wrong, i said stay
in my life, and promises
but tonight, walk away
just like i'll pick you up and run away
i'm here for you, can you hear me?
on a train, i'll explain
you made me feel
you made me strong
can we go on
the saddest day of my life
promises about tonight
you're falling for me,
you're falling for me
you're falling for me
you're falling for me
you're falling for me
Walking down the street
Saw a random picture of your face
Trying to get you out of my mind
But you won't go away
My eyes that cried, days and nights too
You were there for me, what a fool
I overlooked you and you were always there for me
I was there for you, time can't buy retro-respect
Hurting you was such a big regret
And now I'm on this miracle mile
Everything I touch runs wild
I spend my last to make you first again
Yes, I can see the trees again
The grass is never greener
Tell me why I didn't think about this before now
'Cause my baby's gone
Just don't know what to do about you
All broke up over you, just don't, just don't
Just don't know what to do about you
All broke up over you, just don't, just don't
Just don't know what to do about you
All broke up over you, just don't, just don't
Shelly moved away to Jackson, Mississippi
Where the grass is green and so pretty
She found her a preacher man
'Cause that's all she ever wanted
Life at home was very hard
Yes, I sent a million cards
Life without her there
This can't be true, no this isn't fair
Walking down the street calling your name
People think I'm going insane
This is just a terrible dream
And my mind can do without it
I drown myself in whiskey, grass and beer
Love, I was wishing you were here
But here's a toast to you and your new found friend
I'm gonna be missing you
I just don't, I just don't 'cause my baby's gone
Just don't know what to do about you
All broke up over you, just don't, I just don't
Just don't know what to do about you
All broke up over you, just don't, I just don't
Just don't know what to do about you
Good man, I'm a good man, food's on the table, working two jobs,
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name

When the things go rough you quickly ran into .. somebody say, I've been there
There's one thing I know so I'ma tell you that I'm a good man, back to you, a good man
Met this girl walking [Incomprehensible]
Looking good but looking down
Said she needed inspiration
What I said, y'all?
I said, "Get yo shit 'cause we're goin' uptown"
I could tell she was feelin' better
When she got inside the car
What was she?
She was a dark skinned girl with pretty corn rows
She was doin' her best to try to hide her scars

I gotta stop wastin' my time
So excuse me please

If you wanna go
Sugar, I can't make you love me
If you're heart says no

This ain't nuthin but a slow song
Tengo tanto que decirte

Pero ya no puedo mas
Ya no puedo mas
Ya ayy ya no puedo mas
Ya ayy ya no puedo mas
Yes, I'm calling for you baby
Oh, please pick up the phone
I've called you so many times
And you don't bother to pick up the line
And how's a man suppose to get along
When his better half won't come back home
My love for you will never go away
That's why I need you here today
I keep tryn' to call but you don't answer the phone
You don't want me no more, oh

Oh, I'm calling, calling, calling
Please pick up the phone
Could you please pick the phone for me baby?
Oh, oh I, my love can you please come home?

See my love for you will never go away
That's why I need you here today
I keep tryn' to call but you don't answer the phone
'Cause you don't want me no more, oh

Can you please answer the phone for me baby?
Yes, I'm calling for you baby
I need you baby, please
Please pick up the phone
I love you baby, I love you darling
Yeah, I tried to run but couldn't get too far
My heart is pumpin' but still runnin' in place
No matter how hard I try to get your touch
When you're away to love a girl is too much
But every time I run I need you oh so bad
But I'm running scared my heart's beatin' so fast
I heard that you could make a man change his plan
That's why I'm running fast, I'm running the 100 yard dash
I ran for the hills, girl where you were
How you appear you see I never know
I told the bartender to pour me a double face
Then light me a smoke so I can sing some jazz
Now here come them legs, here come those eyes
And me the one I can never deny
I'm trying to be smooth as I can
But I guess I need another plan
I need your lovin' baby oh so bad
But I'm running scared my heart's beatin' so fast
I heard that you could make a man change his plan
That's why I'm running fast, I'm running the 100 yard dash
Your love gets stronger
And it feels like everyday it's getting longer
I feel your love like a monkey on my back
Girl your honey's so big see I can feel the attack
Oh, oh, I need some lovin'
I, I want your lovin'
I gotta have your lovin'
Mmmm mm mm
Yeah
Whoa
Ay-ay ay ay
[Verse]
Somebody tell me
What's going wrong
I aint seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
They say them ladies broke
And my baby's gone
Listen
It's been a couple of days
And real dark nights
I miss my only child
I aint seen her since that night
She left home about eight
And never to return
Our body's floatin' -- Floatin' into that river
[Chorus]
I gotta know
What's going wrong
I aint seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
I aint seen my baby
In far too long
[Verse]
I been searching all around
Day and day and night
Somebody please tell me

So many souls crying
How could it be?
'Cuz every step I take
I can't think

I'm just gon' wait on you
Girl, I swear
I'm here when you need me, you should know
I can always listen, so
'Cause, girl you're my baby (baby)
This thing that you're going through
Just do what you got to do
And love will show you the rest, girl
How much time do you need
To solve all your deeds?
'Cause I could go for a ride!
Now, tell me one thing, please
Nobody will shuffle me
'Cause we might just have a chance, girl
(Chorus)
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
My friends say I'm slippin' over you
I wonder how they knew
But, I guess I'm home every night
I still have visions of you
No other girl will do
Shit, I just got to kiss you
And, I know this can't be the end
We got to be free from sin
At least we can try
But, here's what we gonna do
'Cause I understand you
Lets make out just one more time
(Chorus)
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock
You see, sometimes, lady
When I'm alone by myself (yeah)
All I can do is think about the times we use to share
Think about the good times, baby
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And, you know another thing baby
It ain't the same no more when I go out at night
I get a bunch of numbers, baby
And, they all just stay in my pockets for days
I don't wanna call nobody else
I don't wanna see nobody else
I don't wanna work nobody else
But, I guess I'll ' I guess I'll just wait
(Chorus)
I will wait on you, my dear
Even if it takes 1, 000 years
I believe that love will see us through
But, for right now here's what we gon' do
Forever will I wait on you
And, I hope that you feel like I do
It's so hard for me to wear my watch
Because all I hear is tick and tock (tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock)
Oh yeah, baby!
Come on back home, baby

Every time I close my eyes
A vision of your face always pops into my mind, girl

That'sall I ask of you
See she is so sexy, the way she talks
The way she walks, it really drives me crazy
I think I like you girl
Enjoys the moment and takes her time
And does it right 'cause she's not just the average
I really like you girl
And there's something about her lips, the way she kiss
The way she walks them heads go
I see I like you sugar
Oh, then she'll look and it's so sweet
It knocks me right up off my feet, now baby
I see I like you sugar
Oh, girl I'll never give you up
'Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you
Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you'll come back for more
Oh greatest love I ever seen
And girl your love has got me beat
Girl you, got me thinking 'bout you everyday
I'm not complaining now
I wanna say, her touch, her smile
Keeps me, livin' right
I gotta say, she's the best for me
(I guess I tried and tried)
To hide the way I feel
I can't explain it
(Can't explain it)
It's just too damn good
So I can tell the world, you got my heart
I love your mind design
Oh, girl I'll never give you up
'Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you
Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you come back for more
Everything she does is sweet
She knocks me off my feet, that girl
I'd like to invite Mr. Stevie Wonder
To my album, come on Stevie
Oh, girl I'll never give you up
Girl I'll never give you up
'Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you
Oh, here I stand and when I fall
Only you come back for more
Your love is so unique
You knock me off my feet
Girl I'll never give you up
'Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
I waited all my life to be with you
Here I stand and when I fall
Only you come back for more

Girl I'll never give you up
'Cause ain't no other good enough
And nothing can compare to you
Girl, can't you see that?
(I want you back)
And I'll do anything to be with you again
(I want you back)
See I messed up, I know, I hurt you
(Just once, I want you back?)
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see?
(I want you back?)
I remember how I used to make you breakfast
In the morning before you went to work
I remember how I used to give you cookie
For your late night desert but I can't tell you
All the ways or the exact date that we fell apart
Now mama, I ain't trying to justify the way I broke your heart
I'm just trying to make you understand what's there inside my heart
I must have been so blind, see, I thought love was blind
But now I realize, I swear I realize, I want you back
Girl, can't you see that?
(I want you back)
And I'll do anything to be with you again
(I want you back)
See I messed up, I know, I hurt you
(Just once, I want you back?)
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see?
(I want you back?)
Get on down, come on now
Get on down, come on now
Get on down, come on now
Someone help me find my baby girl
Someone help me find my baby girl
(Someone help me find)
Girl, can't you see that?
(I want you back)
And I'll do anything to be with you again
(I want you back)
See I messed up, I know, I hurt you
(Just once, I want you back?)
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see?
(I want you back?)
Girl, can't you see that?
(I want you back)
And I'll do anything to be with you again
(I want you back)
See I messed up, I know, I hurt you
(Just once, I want you back?)
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see?
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just want to play
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play
Being with you, baby, that's gonna make my day
Come and help me, darling, I just wanna play
Being with you baby that's gonna make my day
You see I'm just a man
I'm trying to do all that I can
Don't know why you don't understand
The situations I've been in
They may have been other undercover secret lovers
But you're my main thing
(You're my main thing)
I've been trying to figure this out
What this is all about
All we do is fight, scream and shout
There's been days that I lie to you
And did you lie to me too?
Once again
(You don't trust me)
I know you can't
(I'm not worth it)
I'm not worth it
But I think we've come too far
Girl you know
(They don't like it, she is working it out)
You're my main thing
We'll make it work somehow
What is said and done, it was all my fault
I guess I didn't ever thought
That you would ever put me out
Now I'm trying to walk a line for you
That's what I wanna do
Know I wasn't true, yeah
Tell me when, when can I talk to me
Show you how I can make it right
You know I really wasn't worth it
A position wasn't right
You see, I'm just a man
I'm trying to do all that I can
Don't know why you don't understand
The situations I've been in
They may have been other undercover secret lovers
But you're my main thing
I need a chick like you
One licks a lollipop
Manolo Blancs, it's hot
Her seven spit like heaven
A chic like you
Can move and shake it fast
Boys wait for her to pass
Because that girl is bad
Chic like you
She soaks in green tea lotion
Her legs are so outspoken
You'll think this girl is naked
Chic like you
The girl is always sexy
She loves backseats in taxis
And talking good and trashy
I mean the chic like you like just won't stop
Unbutton the top and later hear that k-k-knee drop
I could take you to the Opera and back to the block
Manolos and Gucci Lyn this chic is hot
For real and I mean sizzling hips get the twistness
Switchin' she keep all the playas whistling
She do the foo in bikinis and heels
The way she lick the bits and suck the ice and give a grown man chill
Oh girl when the attendant flip her own whips
Flew a playa the Vegas's for their own chips
Life of the party, the two step queen
She rapped when she seen me with them painted on jeans
You know I don't hit no better than her
Feel like I'm drunk when I see her and I slur my words
She's sexy and classy and she's my type
We can make it last forever just one night what they do, why, why
Everyone buying your drinks, everyone wants the number
Its such a sexy show and she always dancing
Everyone buying your drinks, everyone wants the number
Its such a sexy show and she always dancing

Likes me to jump on it
And I just met her girlfriends
Chic like you

My type, my type, my type, my type, my type, my type
You might be my type, my type, my type, my type, my type, my type
