Paradise
LL Cool J Lyrics

If you need me baby I'm, for, real
I am being sincere when I say that I am here for you whenever you need me.

The rest of your life, I'll take you to paradise,
I promise to make sure that you live a happy and fulfilling life by taking you to paradise.

If you want it baby just, be, real
To receive paradise, you need to be genuine and honest with me.

I'm gonna give-a-you all my love, yeah
I will give you all the love and affection that you deserve.

We went through this before
We've been in a similar situation in the past.

Actin' like the L's can't bag 'em no more
People seem to think that I am no longer able to win over girls.

Nightgown draggin' on the heated marble floor
You are wearing a beautiful nightgown that drags on the floor made of heated marble.

Flash Cartier when you open up the door, slide these on baby
I got you some flashy Cartier jewelry that you can wear.

So butter, still relate to the gutter
Although we are living a luxurious life, I still understand and relate to the struggles of the common people.

Just your life style's different, spirit uplifted
Our lifestyle may be different, but it uplifts our spirit.

Fell in love with a cat who's gifted
I have fallen in love with someone who is talented and gifted.

Turn you back to paradise, damn I missed it
I regret missing out on the opportunity to show you paradise.

Pop a bottle, light a purple candle
Let us celebrate by popping a bottle and lighting a purple candle.

I got somethin' that you can't quite handle, that's why you love me
You love me because I have something special that you can't handle.

Pour bubbly, glow from the flame make your skin shine lovely
Drinking bubbly while the flame from the candle makes your skin glow beautifully.

Touch it why don'tcha (oh) touch it why don'tcha (oh)
Why don't you touch me?

Touch it why don'tcha (hey) touch it why don'tcha (mm)
Hey, why not touch me?

Hey girl, aw, girl!
Hey girl!

Hey girl, I want to rock your world
Hey girl, I want to make you feel happy and fulfilled.

Next phase is this
Let's move on to the next phase.

Black sand, Tahiti, ten days to reminisce
Let's go to Tahiti and spend ten days looking back on our memories.

God's my witness (uh)
I swear by God.

I paid the price for paradise, so I'm livin' this
I worked hard to achieve paradise, so I'm enjoying my life to the fullest.

I never limit myself, the L's fearless
I always try to push myself to the limit and never limit myself.

Lay back while I illuminate the darkness
Relax while I show you the way and guide you through your darkest moments.

Like it smooth don'tcha
You like things that are smooth.

Make it move won'tcha, think I won't?
Don't you think I can make things move smoothly?

Take you to your peak I know them other cats don't
I will make sure that you reach your peak, unlike other guys who can't.

And it won't stop, this is beyond paper
This won't end and is beyond just about money.

First I get your mind right, then I might drape ya
I will make sure that your mind is right first, then I will shower you with gifts.

Never pimpin', raise my girls well
I don't exploit girls, I treat them with respect and raise them well.

Young thoroughbreds get schooled by Uncle L.L.
I teach young and talented people, like a thoroughbred, and they look up to me as Uncle L.L.

See-double, L tattooed on the bubble
The letters L.L. are tattooed on the bubble or the champagne glass.

I lay the mink down, let you walk over a puddle
I lay the mink on the ground for you to step on so that you wouldn't ruin your shoes by stepping into a puddle.

True love is so rare
True love is hard to find.

But don't you worry I ain't going nowhere
But don't worry, I will always be here for you and I won't leave.

Trust me, trust me, trust, me, baby
Baby, please trust me completely.

Rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I promise to make sure that you live a happy and fulfilling life by taking you to paradise.

I'll take you to paradise, oh
I will take you to paradise.

So won't you try me, try me, try, this, lady
Lady, won't you give me a chance and try me out?

I'm gonna give-a-you all my love, yeah
I will give you all the love and affection that you deserve.

Belly to belly, one hand on the jelly
We are embracing each other closely, with one hand on the jelly (maybe a reference to edible lubricants?).

At the telly on the celly, get that money Elle
While we're at the hotel, let's make money, Elle.

Please believe it, if the mind can conceive it
Please believe that if you can think it, you can achieve it.

Then the man can achieve it, you gotta breathe it
If you can think it, then you can achieve it, but you also have to work hard for it.

And I breathe deep, I'm one with the universe
I breathe deep and am one with the universe, feeling at peace and fulfilled.

Minimum, ten percent go to God first
I always give at least ten percent of my earnings to God first.

Lay back baby, close your eyes
Just relax and lay back, close your eyes.

Ice on the pinky finger froze your thighs
My icy pinky ring made you shiver and gets you excited.

So much shade baby, the water bed fries
There's so much shade in the room that it feels like the water bed is hot and frying.

Walk around nude in the suite yelling, "Recognize!"
Walk around naked in the suite and shout "Recognize!" at everyone.

Do your dance, baby pour me a class
Dance for me, and pour me a glass of wine.

It feels so good to have the world in a smash
It feels amazing to be on top of the world and have everything in control.

Sky's the limit
There are no bounds and no limit to what we can achieve.

If you can see it, you can be it
If you can visualize it, then you can achieve it.

Everybody put your hands in the air
Everyone raise your hands up high.

It's high time baby
It's about time to move on and do something different.

One love, one God, recognize
Let's all recognize that we are all part of one love and one God.

Said if you want me, just be for real
If you want me, just be genuine and honest with me.

And if you like me, come and talk to me
If you like me, don't be afraid to come and talk to me.

And if you want me, tell me how you feel
If you want me, just tell me how you feel.
