Oh pretty girl, tell me that you want me tonight
Come a little closer, darlin there's no need for you to be shy
So turn the lights down low,
Ooo I know you like it like that,
We can take, take it slow,
Ooo ya know that I love it like that
Any man is crazy if he don't wanna be with you all night
Ooo, yes I know, yes I know that you're so damn pretty baby
Ooo, yes I know, yes I know that you're so damn beautiful
Ooo, yes I know, yes I know that you're so damn pretty baby
You got it all, you got it all

Oh baby girl, tell me what you've got on your mind, baby
Don't say nothing, tell me everything with your eyes, babe
So tell me now, I gotta know,
Ooo and if you like it like that,
We roll around on the floor,
Well you know that I love it like that
Any time you need me, girl, believe me I'll be there by your side
All night
