Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I see you move
I'm checking your smile
Working your back
Like it's going out of style
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now girl
Dying to meet you
So let's mess around
I've got an obsession of us
Getting down
Come just a little bit closer
I just need permission so
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We can go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Ah 1, 2, 3, green light
Well if its
What it seems like
The way you movin' baby
Let's we know
It's gon' be right
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Ah 1, 2, 3, red light
I wanna see
What your bed's like
But if I be your buddy
Could you study
It's your head, right?
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Do I have a girlfriend
Technically no. "no"
If you'll be my girlfriend
Then I'll make it so
You'll be my only true lover
No competition
No other "no other"
Baby
It's just the thrill
Of the chase
But I've got a feeling
That I'm winning this race
Baby I'm gettin' much closer
I just need permission so
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We can go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Ah 1, 2, 3, green light
Well if its
What it seems like
The way you movin' baby
Let's we know
It's gon' be right
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Ah 1, 2, 3, red light
I wanna see
What your bed's like
But if I be your buddy
Could you study
It's your head right?
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
So I went hard
Like Medusa staring at me
I told her let's go
Let's blow
This lame nigga factory
She said
What type of girl
Do you think that I are
The kind
That you meet in a bar
You think
You can get whatever
You want cause you
Some kinda star?
No I'm a comet
I just want you woman
Hey, if I were you
Then it would be me
That I go home with 3
The one and only
One thing
You ain't considered
I heard you
When you told your girl
"Ooo he can get it"
Admit it
You did it
Let's hop a cab
And split it
I'm kiddin
We both going
To where you livin
Ha, I got you gigglin
Like a piglet
Oh that's the ticket
I hope you are more
Like Anita Baker
Than Robin Givens
No, I don't know
That lady
So let me quit it
I'm just style freein'
Freestylin'
What ya'll seldom do
This is what I'm tellin' you
Shoulda been up nailin' you
Like I've been in jail for two
Years and then they let me loose
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We can go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
You got you one Legend
Sometimes you gotta step
From behind the piano
And let 'em know
What's going on
Even Stevie Wonder g
Ot down sometimes
I'm ready to go
My man Nate can't wait
