Akon beautiful
The song "You are so beautiful" by Akon featuring Colby O'Donis and Kardinal Offishall is a sweet and romantic song about being deeply attracted to a beautiful woman. Akon starts his verse by saying that whenever he sees her, he runs out of words to say because of how beautiful she is. He then goes on to say that he wouldn't leave her because she is the type of girl who can make him stay. He sees guys trying to hit on her, but he doesn't want to bother her. He asks her if he could be her baby father and promises to show her love and support her in whatever she does.
Colby O'Donis then joins in with his verse, comparing the woman to clouds and the sun, saying she drifts him far away and brightens his day. He expresses his desire to never make her cry or lie to her. Finally, Kardinal Offishall adds his verse, admiring the woman's hourglass shape and high heel game. He declares that he's willing to spend money on her, but only after she undresses, not like a hooker but more like a princess. He emphasizes the woman's beauty and encourages her to walk with him and hold his hand.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and admiration for a beautiful woman who captures the attention of every man in the club but is still independent and strong-willed.

Kardinal believes that no matter what, he is not a calm and quiet person when it comes to you. Your hourglass shape and waistline are extraordinary and make people admire you. Kardinal is aroused by your high heel game as it emphasizes your curves. Kardinal wants to be with you and treat you like the royal princess you are, not like a casual hook-up. You are a queen and deserve the respect of an empress or president. You can have Kardinal's love in any way that you desire.
