Verse 1

You have this way about cha thats so adorable
aint nothin fake about ya girl ur so approachable
You probly never done a bad thing in ur life
the type a girl to make a playa wanna do right
and I wanna let u know it aint jus coz ur butiful
but I dont mind ur physical but we go so much deeper yo
and I aint never thought I would say no shit like that but as a matter of fact

-Chorus-

Your the reason why I always come home early girl
coz I know you'll be there waitin for me
and I got no reason for me to second guess you girl I know your crazy bout me

That's what I like about you
(I love it wen u dance with me)
What I adore about you
(I love it wen u laugh baby)
That's what I like about you
(How we be likin the same songs)
That's what I like about
What I adore about
That's what I like about you
(I love it wen u chill with me)
What I adore about you
(Someone who'd neva put me down)
That's what I like about you
(You know how to make a playa proud)
Yeah that's what I like about
Thats what I like about you

Verse 2

Your so incredible its understandable
thats why Im always tryna floss ya ur so bankable
girl do u even know the damage that uve caused
I'd do just bout anything
even damn near break the law
and if the world was ending I know
just where I'd wanna go
just one day left what to do
spend mah last minutes with you
and I aint never thought I would say no shit like
thats to you boo but as a matter of fact

-Chorus-

Your the reason why I always come home early girl
coz I know you'll be there waitin for me
and I got no reason for me to second guess you girl I know your crazy bout me

Thats what I like about you
(I love it wen u dance with me)
What I adore about you
(I love it wen u laugh baby)
Thats what I like about you
(How we be likin the same songs)
Thats what I like about

Thats what I like about you
(I love it wen you chill with me)
What I adore about you
(Someone who'd neva put me down)
Thats what I like about you
(You know how to make a playa proud)
Yeh thats what I like about
Thats what I like about you

Verse 3

You know first I wanna tell ya how much I like
that thing you do when I do it to you
we be makin our ride bump
up and down bounce bounce
we gon take it to the house
we can go anotha round
you know i like to wear it out
girl I like it when you shout my name
from my up and down game
tell me baby whoz playin
thats my word you got the thing
good enough to eat your lovin
like a home cooked plate





-Chorus till fade-
