Upright and pattern up right make sure everything nice

Make you borrow her car shay na catarrh
She say she left the hotel room she crawl back
Girl ah move spicey, me am with deh salt ah

And all deh mandem ma fit whole deh body
Everything you told me never told nobody, body
You say your man can't control your body

So make I rock your body, rock your body
Rock your body, rock your, rock your
Rock your body, rock your body, rock your body
Would you be mine if I be all yours?
