Such a beauty, you're a cutie, every man hypnotize
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Coulda never lead me stray, no matter how hard them try
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
True you see me hesitate, nobody think say me shy
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Them put the after call me for me, finna me roll me eye
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
(Chorus 2x)
Sweet girl,
you're the only one for me the only one who has my heart
There's no need to stray,
our love is like a perfect work of art
Ain't no need to lose it, cool it,
really gotta play it smart
(Got to play it smart)
Now what about man, them have them woman and them sweetheart
Gyal inna me ears, me have to tell her say to ease off
Understand me 'fraid but me no wanna get her teed off
Pull them on me up a woman who nah ramp to squeeze off
If you have a good thing, them say you no fi spoil it
Argument a brew, and me no really want fi boil it
Ah, but what if a girl inna ya bed, you might soil it!
You might come back home and find she wann check out you private!
Sweet girl,
you're the only one for me the only one who has my heart
There's no need to stray,
our love is like a perfect work of art
Ain't no need to lose it, cool it,
really gotta play it smart
(Got to play it smart)
Now what a sweet chance fi wake up inna the morning
After me spend the whole night wit' me darling
And the pager go off and she a wonder, who's calling
Look upon her face, me dun take that as the warning
Know when a woman start get too protective
Might have to try figure out her objective
Better make sure your argument is effective
Real ol' Columbus, she no stop play detective
Sweet girl,
you're the only one for me the only one who has my heart
There's no need to stray,
our love is like a perfect work of art
Ain't no need to lose it, cool it,
really gotta play it smart
(Got to play it smart)
Such a beauty, you're a cutie, every man hypnotize
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Coulda never lead me stray,
No matter how hard them try
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
True you see me hesitate,
Nobody think say me shy
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Them put the after call me for me, finna me roll me eye
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Now what about man, them have them woman and them sweetheart
Gyal inna me ears, me have to tell her say to ease off
Understand me 'fraid but me no wanna get her teed off
Pull them on me up a woman who nah ramp fi squeeze off
If you have a good thing, them say you no fi spoil it
Argument a brew, and me no really want fi boil it
Ah, but what if a girl inna ya bed, you might soil it!
You might come back home
And find she wann check out you private!
(Chorus 2x)
Sweet girl,
you're the only one for me the only one that has my heart
There's no need to stray,
our love is like a perfect work of art
Ain't no need to lose it, cool it,
really gotta play it smart
(Got to play it smart)
