Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Oooooh, baby baby look what you do to me, I
Gotta confess that this feeling is something new to me and
I know I'm nothing like, them guys you usually like but
Give me a chance and I'll make it all about you tonight, uh
I know you from Lilongwe, straight out the capital city
But we can tour the sites of Blantyre, I just want you with me
Now I don't own a car yet, so we might have to step
Or catch a minibus, see I don't have a private jet
Time ain't gonna wait for us; keep an eye on it
Anything you want, just to put a smile on it
You deserve it baby, you deserve it ohhh
And I'm gonna give it to you
Cause you be shining so bright
You got that swag that I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
I don't wanna fall in love but I might
Be the one you call late at night
Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
Yeah, Okay round 2 baby girl do I have your attention?
I'm a really nice guy so I feel it's only right that I come forth and state my intentions
See, erm
(I ain't looking for that loving and affection
Let's just have some fun, no more questions babe)
Let's keep it no strings for now, are you down?
I don't even know what this feeling is, girl, all I know is I'm loving your smile
Why you so insecure? When you do your make up you take a while
And girl you say you want more, but if I give an inch you might take a mile
Yeah my arms are open, you too scared of getting heartbroken?
Baby girl I understand that the wounds heal and the scars can open
But I ain’t looking to hurt you, so you ain't gotta worry bout that
Baby take my hand, yeah you know that I'm the man
So come through, let’s make a plan
Cause you be shining so bright
You got that swag that I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
I don't wanna fall in love but I might
Be the one you call late at night
Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
You say you want a good time
Well here I am baby, here I am baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Tell me what’s on your mind
And if you want it, girl come and get it
All this is here for you
So tell me baby, tell me, tell me baby what you tryna do
Cause you be shining so bright
You got that swag that I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
I don't wanna fall in love but I might
Be the one you call late at night




Lucky for you, you're just my type, that's what I like
Lucky for you, you're just my type, you're what I like
