(feat. Keith Murray)
Yo', this is funky
Stevie J (Yeah) this is funky (Word)
Cherrelle, come on
Keith kicks the rhyme at the right time
In a black jeep with Cherrelle in the driver's seat
Socializin', dip-dip divin'
Noddin' to a phat Stevie J beat
Master of disaster, you came to me
We treat the Benz just like a hooptie
We bring noise and the funk with the chalk and the skunk
With the double pump in the trunk
Learn a lesson, we make it hot
I'm not a player hater, yo', I just dis a lot
Cherrelle
What am I to say what I gotta do
To let you know my heart is calling out for you
Gotta find the right time
Can't deny that I need you in my life
Been knowing you for awhile now
Always said I had to have you somehow
I'm just a woman who knows what she needs
If you're down, come take a chance with me, ho, ho...
What am I to say (Say) what I gotta do (Do)
To let you know my heart is calling out for you (Oh)
Gotta find (Gotta find ) the right time (Right time)
Can't deny that I need you in my life
I want a man just to love me
I take care of myself, I don't need to help
Don't wait for my to get down on my knees
I won't beg, don't plead, just tell me where to start, I need
I know that you're afraid of getting caught up in romance
But my love is calling, give me a chance (Give me a chance)
You're all I really love
And I'm yearning for your love
What am I to say (Mmm) what I gotta do
To let you know my heart is calling out for you
Gotta find (Gotta find ) the right time (Right time)
Can't deny that I need you in my life (What I got to say)
What am I to say (What I gotta do) what I gotta do
To let you know my heart is calling out for you
Gotta find the right time
Can't deny that I need you in my life (Honey, I know)
I know that you're afraid of getting caught up in romance
But my love is calling, give me a chance (Won't you give me a chance)
You're all I really love
(Yo', yo, Keith Murray)
And I'm yearning for your love
This is the tight situation, I might cause trouble
I called up Stevie J, three way D double
You know the click that stay on the bubble
Who bed-rockin' these h@#$ to sleep like Barney Rubble
Anyway like I was about to say
I ran into this pretty lil' some'in' yesterday
???And you Keith jimmy walk a style down I might???
I said, "Excuse me, I'm not married but you look like my wife"
She looked one skinny props, said, "Thanks"
I said "Don't thank me, thank your mom and pops, h@#" (Tell me why)
What am I to say (What I to say) what I gotta do (What am I to do)
To let you know my heart is calling out for you
Gotta find (Gotta find ) the right time (Right time)
Can't deny that I need you in my life (I need you, oh, yeah)
Boy, I wanna fight it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't deny it (You can't)
So I won't fight it (Don't fight it, baby)
No, no (You know)
Gotta find (No, no) the right time (No, no, no)
Can't deny that I need you in my life (No, no, no) (No doubt)
(At the right time, it's gotta be the right time)
(If it ain't the right time, then it ain't my time)
(And I'm gone)
(Miss Cherrelle)
(From Monday to Friday to Sunday, baby)
(Word up)
Never have the love I want
Give me all the love I need (Keith Murray)
You don't have to be afraid of me (Stevie J)
Never have the love I want
Give me all the love I nee
