I got a snare on the downbeat
So show me that you want me
That you want me bad
Cause baby girl i want you
Baby girl i want you yea
To want me back
When you said that you were a loyal girl
I thought that you were the one for me
And i know that loves all in the world
But dammit baby all your talk is cheap
When i want you (Want you girl i want you)
Cause you're bad

You know that loves so hard to find
Dammit baby please don't waste time
