Put your heart on [?]
Cause I can't let you go baby
Let me know if you stayin' late
Cause I got time you owe with me
You a vibe [?]
Come get you lovin'
I want you to myself, slide through 45
In the morning, no problem
Jump on it, slow grindin'
Your body's hypnotic I can't pull out
With me you get what you want, I leave the savage alone
You came for love and you know
You don't need no other body
Yes, yes, she wanna get the bestest yes, yes
Lil mama thick like she from Memphis
I take you from the club and make a mess, yeah
Not messing with no scrub girl I'm rich, yeah
I want your body dripping in designer
Everybody want you but you're my girl
Say that you don't need no other body, yeah
You're mine girl, mine, mine girl, mine
You don't need no other body, yeah
You're mine girl, mine, mine girl, mine
Only one, only one I need, you're the one
Set me free, set my soul on fire, fire
I'm the one, she gon call me when she leaves
Tease me now, girl you play with fire
Gangsta you know, [?]
Bare stamina, [?]
Wine pon it now, gwan pon it now
Love me now [?]
Love me baby, do you love me or not
You got me hooked up on you, I'm all up on you
I'm falling for your love
You've been searching so long 'till now
Say that you don't need no other body, yeah
You're mine girl, mine, mine girl, mine
You don't need no other body, yeah
You're mine girl, mine, mine girl, mine
