Hey bad boy it's nice to meet you.
Got a couple things I would like to teach you.
Rumors going round about you baby.
Let me take you home and let me show you things.
You'll be buying me clothes and all the finer things.
You'll keep me iced out with diamond necklaces.
Lets make the best of it - ask no questions.
[Chorus]
I know your taken but all right.
Anticipation's making me hot.
You're looking sexy and you're looking fly.
Boy I know you got a girl but it's on tonight.
I know you're taken but that's all right.
Infatuation's making me hot.
You're looking sexy and you're looking fly.
Yo you know I got a man but it's on tonight.
Temperatures rising it's getting crazy.
Now I got you telling your friends I'm your baby.
Why you trying to fight your feelings for me.
I got you asking me to be your lady.
Let me take you home and let me show you things.

Oh oh oh oh you know you want me so let's go.
Oh oh oh oh no time to waste so here we go.
Oh oh oh oh I'll have you feening that's for sho.

So what you waiting for now.
