He breaks me down
He builds me up
He fills my cup
I like it rough
We fuss, we brawl
We rise, we fall
He comes in vain
But it's okay
We do, I do
He knows the rules
He takes care of home (Hey, yeah)
Though he's not alone
I'm on his team
He treats me clean
And gives me things
He makes me scream, yeah...
He's so contagious
he turns my pages (Ooh...)
He's got me anxious (Oh...)
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin' (Oh...)
Spontaneous (Oh)
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady (Oh...oh...)
Tonight is raining' (Tonight is raning')
And I ain't complainin' (And I ainâ't complainin')
I'm entertainin' (I'm entertainin')
My number one thing and (My number one)
My back is achin' (My back is achin')
From our love makin' (From our love makin')
Oh, yes, I'm taken
Ain't no use in fakin' (Oh)
My ups, my downs
My high and my lows
From head to toe
He makes me glow
He hits the spot
He makes me hot
I'm all that he's got
And he's all that I got
He's so contagious
he turns my pages (Ooh...)
He's got me anxious (Oh...)
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin' (Oh...)
Spontaneous (Oh)
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady (Oh...oh...)
Thinkin' of a master plan
You know anything you need, baby, ask your man
You was there from a half a gram
Now it's kilos and C notes, and high fashion brands
We ball like we own the world
The only concern is you my only girl
And when we speakin' in tongues
Breathin' hard when I'm squeezin' your lungs
Keep it strong, but I gotta hit the streets when I'm done
It's joy and pain when you try and get ahead of the game
It's f***ed up, but you never complain
You just pray I don't killed when I hit the hood
Just another hundred mil' and I'mma quit for good
No more drug wars, trips to jail and shoot outs
Gettin' loot out for lawyers and bail to get your boot out
Just me and you, high off sex and twisted
You O.G. till you O.D., addicted
He's so contagious
he turns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive (So persuasive)
And I'm his lady (And I'm his lady)
He's so contagious
he turn my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady
