Yeah Yeah...
Just clap with us
Its B. McKnight , yeah yeah
And Rio Yellowman winans, just clap with us
See real men know what they really want
Mr. Cheeks, talk to that girl right there, I need that
MR. CHEEKS:
Special kinda friend
Let me clown witcha
Get to know ya little better
Spend some time witcha
Hit the town witcha, spend every dime witcha
No matter what you wanna do as long as i'm witcha
Get your picture painted, place it on my wall
And as long as I ball i'm giving you my all
And when the night falls we hold each other all night
Play some B. Knight, he'll make it all right
I can see it in your eyes
You're looking at a real man
I don't wear a disguise
Gonna make you understand
I know you've heard alot of lines
So I won't beat around the bush
I know i'm gonna make ou mine
Girl i'm not gonna push
Girl I don't mean to come off as cocky or conceited
But I believe that you were made just for me
And it should be nothing but love come inbetween us
And we will be together always baby
Baby, I don't mean to come off strong but you
Should be with somebody who understands you
Like I do
I'll be right here
If ever you need a hand or two
To help you get where you're going to
Gonna show you the way I do
I would never do you wrong
Like some other fella did
Only matters where you're going
Don't matter where you've been
I calculated all the cost
Measured what you're worth
And right after God
Girl i'm putting you first
Girl I don't mean to come off as cocky or conceited
But I believe that you were made just for me
And it should be nothing but love come inbetween us
And we will be together always baby
Baby, I don't mean to come off strong but you
Should be with somebody who understands you
Like I do
I'll be right here
If ever you need a hand or two
To help you get where you're going to
Gonna show you the way I do
A special kind of love
A special kind of friend
A special kind of heart
Special to the end
Special I can't front
Special it could be
Special in my arms
Special you and me
BABY:
I can see it in your eyes, I can feel your thighs
You in that new Benz with the flat skinny tires
Fly a** skirt with your gucci shirt, stiletto boots
Tailor made mink skirt
Independent and you bout your work
It don't matter the stunna, 'cause I puts in work
Its me and B. Knight go to mall and flirt
With the fly a** ladies and they fly a** skirt, holla
Baby, I don't mean to come off strong but you
Should be with somebody who understands you
Like I do
I'll be right here
If ever you need a hand or two
To help you get where you're going to
Gonna show you the way I do
A special kind of love
A special kind of friend
A special kind of heart
Special to the end
Special I can't front
Special it could be
Special in my arms
Special you and me
