Smile when she see me, I guess I'm lookin comfy

She grabbed my hand and walked in front me, man I think she want me

Got a table for two in the rear

Cuz over there, you's allowed to throw somethin in the air

Music soundin good, we hopped up out our chairs

I'm close up on them smells, we're burnin L's and bears

We had a few drinks, we ate a meal and all

This night and her cousin, for real I feel it all

She got me woide open, I guess she wide too

Cuz she done told me anytime I wanna slide through

That I can slide through, I take you on that offer

I had to warn her, laughed and joked a bit, now I'm back up on her

Not tonight but give me some time, I'ma bag you

and make you my permanent Ragu
