[Missy]

You're so incredible

Ever since the day we became, we became.. so personal

Everyday that I spend with you it gets.. unforgettable

Anything that I did with you, I don't.. regret at all

(I love everything about you)

Take away, your gold and platinum chains

(and I'm gonna love you baby)

Cause I'm gone love, love you anyway

(I ain't in it for the cheddar baby)

I'm not in it for, for the love of cash

Cause if you go broke, I gotta make it last

(not goin nowhere, nowhere, nowhere..)

[Ginuwine]

Listen, let's make, it national

I want the whole world to know

I'm with you, and I'm.. in love

Ain't no girl in this world

can fill your shoes, none not at all

The things you do for me is so.. unbelievable

And you can take away all the platinum chains

[Missy + (Ginuwine)]

Take away, your gold and platinum chains

Cause I'm gon love, love you anyway

(I'ma love you anyway, yes I am)

I'm not in it for, for the love of cash

(I'm only in it for the love of you)

Cause if you go broke I gotta make it last

(I gotta make it last babyyy)

I just wanna be the perfect match

You don't even have to ask..

I just wanna be the perfect match

We become so attached..

(we become so attached baby that's all I ask)

I just wanna be the perfect match

You don't even have to ask..

I just wanna be the perfect match

We become so attached..

(be the perfect match baby, so attached, yeahyeaheyeahhh)

[computer voice]

Now can you hold me, now can you feel me

Now can you get near me..

For once in your lifetime, for once in your lifetime

Now can you hold me, now can you feel me

Now can you get near me..

For once in your lifetime, for once in your lifetime

[Missy]

Take away, your gold and platinum chains

Cause I'm gon' love, love you anyway

I'm not in it for, for the love of cash

Cause if you go broke, I gotta make it last
