Around the way girl
LL Cool J Lyrics

You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your lovin'
Your love is having a strong effect on me

I want a girl with extensions in her hair
I'm looking for a girl who wears hair extensions

Bamboo earrings, at least two pair
She should also wear multiple pairs of bamboo earrings

A Fendi bag and a bad attitude
I want a girl who carries a Fendi bag and has a cool attitude

That's all I need to get me in a good mood
These things will put me in a good mood

She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
I like it when a woman is confident and authentic

I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing
Confidence is attractive to me

Standin' at the bus stop, suckin' on a lollipop
I find it sexy when a woman is standing at a bus stop and eating a lollipop

When she gets pumpin', it's hard to make the hottie stop
She has irresistible rhythm when she dances

She likes to dance to the rap jam
She enjoys dancing to rap music

She's sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams
She's a delight to be around

Honey-coated complexion, using Camay
Her skin is smooth and has a healthy shine

Let's hear it for the girl, she's from around the way
Give praise to the girl who is from the same neighborhood

Silky, milky, her smile is like sunshine
Her smile is beautiful and radiant

That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme
I had to write about her beauty in a song

To all the cuties in the neighborhood
This song is for all the attractive girls in the area

'Cause if I didn't tell you, then another brother would
I have to express my admiration for these girls before someone else does

Wanna eat you like a cookie when I see you walk
I find her irresistible when I see her walk

With your rayon, silk, or maybe even denim
It doesn't matter what fabric she wears, as long as it looks good

You always know what to say and do
She's smart and quick-witted

Cold flip when you think your man is playing you
She's not afraid to speak up when she thinks she's being cheated on

No cheap or petty, you're ready for loving
She's not materialistic and is open to a relationship

You're real independent, so your parents be buggin'
She's independent, which sometimes causes friction with her parents

But if you ever need a place to stay, come around my way
I'm here for her if she ever needs a place to stay

Perm in your hair, or even a curly weave
Her hairstyle doesn't matter to me

With your New Edition Bobby Brown button on your sleeve
I love it when she wears buttons of her favorite artists

I tell you come here, you say, 'Meet me halfway'
We compromise in our interactions

'Cause brothers been poppin' that yang all day
Other guys have been coming on to her all day

Around the way, you're like neighborhood jewel
She's a valued member of the community

All the homeboys sweat ya, so you're crazy cool
Guys think she's really cool

Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts
She wears gold jewelry even while dressed casually

While your watchin' all the brothers on the basketball court
She enjoys watching guys play basketball

Goin' to the movies with your homegirl's crew
She goes to the movies with her female friends

While the businessmen in suits be hawkin' you
Even guys in suits find her attractive

Baby hair pumpin', lip gloss a-shinin'
Her style is on point

I think you're in the mood for whinin' and dinin'
I think she's ready for a fancy dinner

So we can go out and eat somewhere
We can go out to dinner

We got a lot of private jokes to share
We have a lot of inside jokes

Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee
These are the names of some of his favorite women from the neighborhood

I love you, you're from around the way
I love her because she's from the same neighborhood as me

That's the one for me (she's the only one for me)
She's the only one I want

Fine as can be
She's extremely attractive
