Timbaland - The Way I Are
Timbaland
Yeah!... yeah!... remember the time, baby... yeah!
[Verse 1 - Timbaland]
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we could be the perfect soulmates
Talk to me girl
[Bridge - Keri Hilson]
(Oh) Baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt
for me
If we go and touch, you can still touch my love, it's
free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Work it out 'til we get it right
[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (D.O.E)
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like...
[Verse 2 - Timbaland]
I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you
best
Talk to me girl
[Bridge 2 - Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for
me
If we go and touch, you can still touch my love, it's
free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Work it out 'til we get it right
[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (D.O.E)
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
[Verse 3 - D.O.E.]
Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room
in a house
Listen baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat but I can
float ya boat
So listen baby girl, once you get a dose of D.O.E. you
gon' want some mo'
So listen baby girl, when I'm naked I want you there,
want you there, yeah
