I never move too fast girl
When it comes to letting my feelings show
I like to take my time out
I like to do it slow
'Cause a man's got to do
Every woman he can
'Cause it's in our nature
Said it's in my nature
[Chorus 2x:]
First come first served is the way
Some do it but not me
I, shop around, shop, shop around
I've got expectations what my
Settle down should be, she got to be stacked head to toe
She's gotta be down for me
And I won't settle for nothing less
But the cream of the crop
Girl I gotta have the best
Don't let, don't let, I won't let
You sell that game
'Cause I know what I want, and you know what you gotta bring
You don't have to tell me,
About the things that's going on
I know how to pick and choose, win or lose
I know a good thing when it's going on
[Chorus 2x:]
First come first served is the way
Some do it but not me
I, shop around, shop, shop around
So what'cha gonna do
Say ya wanna get down
So what'cha gonna do
Say ya wanna get down
[Chorus:]
First come first served is the way
Some do it but not me
Shop around, shop shop around
She gotta be stacked head to toe
She gotta go for what she know
Cause that's the kinda girl that I need
[2x]
