You know you want me
You want this

Been goin 'round talkin
They say that you been
Watchin me boy

To get to me boy

You have to be hungry for me
Girls may have been easy
But you have to please me
What makes me think that I can say this to you
I know how bad you want this

If you want my future then
You better work it boy
No it won't come easy no

Because you're fine and
And you know it

Just listen closely
No it ain't so easy

Girls may have been easy
But you have to please me
One thing I've been told
Nothin else compares
To this lovin body

If you want my future then
You better work it boy
No it won't come easy no

Just a little bit louder now

Nice and easy
