Yeah, yeah
(Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Remember the time, baby?
Yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Timbaland]
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers (flowers, flowers)
But together we'll be the perfect soulmates
Talk to me, girl
[Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch, my love is free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'till we get it right
[Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like
[Timbaland]
I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic (exotic, exotic)
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me, girl
[Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch, my love is free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'till we get it right
[Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
[D.O.E]
Yeah, baby girl
I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room in a house
Listen, baby girl
I ain't got a motorboat but I can float ya boat
So listen, baby girl
Once you get a dose of D.O.E., you gon' want some mo'
So listen, baby girl
When I make it I want you back, want you back, yeah
[Sebastian]
Yeah, my money ain't aloof like Phil and them
And it's really not quite low as LSN
Your body ain't Pamela Anderson
It's a struggle just to get you in the caravan
But listen, baby girl
Before I let you lose a pound, I'll buy a bigger car
So listen, baby girl
I love you just the way ya are, the way ya are
[Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch, my love is free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'till we get it right
[Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
[Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)]
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped

I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
