Seven Days
Craig David ft. Nate Dogg & Mos Def Lyrics

On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
As I was walking to meet my friends who lived nearby

As I walked through the subway
While I was walking through the subway station

It must have been about quarter past three
It was around 3:15 in the afternoon

In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
I saw a stunning woman with a great physique in front of me

She asked me for the time
She asked me what time it was

I said it'd cost her name, a six digit number and a date with me tomorrow at nine
I teased her by saying that I would tell her the time if she gave me her name, phone number, and agreed to meet me the next day at 9 PM

Did she decline? No
She didn't refuse my offer

Didn't she mind? I don't think so
I don't believe she had any issue with it

Was it for real? Damn, sure
I was serious about my proposition

What was the deal? A pretty girl aged twenty-four
The girl was a beautiful 24-year-old

So was she keen? She couldn't wait
She was very interested and couldn't wait to see me

Cinnamon queen? Let me update
This is a slang term to describe a woman of colour, but I don't want to use that term. Let me clarify:

What did she say? She said she'd love to rendezvous
She agreed to our plans to meet

She asked me what we were gonna do
She wanted to know what our plans were

Said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two
I suggested that we begin with a bottle of Moet champagne for the two of us

Nine was the time
We had planned to meet at 9 PM

'Cause I'll be getting mine and she was looking fine
I was excited because I knew things were going to go well, and she looked amazing

Smooth talker, she told me
She was a good speaker and skilled at charming me

She'd love to unfold me all night long
She hinted that she wanted to spend the night with me

Ooh, I loved the way she kicked it
I really enjoyed her attitude and approach

From the front to back she flipped it (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked)
She was impressive from every angle and had great moves

And I oh, oh, I, yeah
I was really into her

Hope that she'd care
I hoped she was interested in me as well

'Cause I'm a man who'll always be there (oh yeah)
I am a dependable man who will always be available for her

I'm not a man to play around, baby (oh yeah)
I am not the type of man who messes around with women

'Cause a one night stand isn't really fair
I believe having just a one-night stand is not right or fair

From the first impression, girl, hmm you don't seem to be like that
I got the impression that she wasn't that type of woman either

'Cause there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty time for that
We didn't need to chat because we would have plenty of time to talk later

From the subway to my home
From the time we met in the subway until we got to my place

Endless ringing of my phone
My phone rang non-stop

When your feeling all alone
When you're feeling lonely

All you gotta do is just call me, call me
All you have to do is call me and I will be there for you

Since I met this special lady, ooh yeah
Since I met this amazing woman

I can't get her off my mind
I can't stop thinking about her

She's one of a kind
She's unique and special

And I ain't about to deny it
I will not deny the way I feel about her

It's a special kind of thing with you
There is something special about being with her

(Break it down, break it down)
This is just a musical interlude
