I Like

I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you pump
Baby work it for me
See the weekend's here
I know we can have some fun if we
Hook up in the afternoon
I'll take you anywhere you want cutie
Cash, gold, diamonds and pearls
Anything to make you mine
See I really can't seem
To get you off my mind baby
Oh my gosh!

I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you pump
Baby work it for me

You're so incredible
Girl you do things to me
The way you walk
Sending chills up and down me
But all I know is I wanna get next to you
So you see the next time
I catch you making eyes at me
I guess I'll have to satisfy
My curiousity
And maybe I'll drop a line
Or maybe I'll just hit you
With a nursery crime

Work baby work
Till it hurts
Till it hurts baby
There's not gain without pain sugar
I ain't the type to settle
For no coulda woulda shoulda

I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you pump
Baby work it for me

I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you do it girl
I like
The way you pump
Baby work it for me

Now honey I will chase you chase you
Till the cows come home
Coz this jones in my bones Says you got it going on
Now if I drop my number
Would you drop a line
You can meet round mine
10 o'clock will be fine
I got this feeling
You be feening
For the rhythm that I'm giving
And girl this feeling I'm getting hot
Here's how I'm living
Cash gold
Sushi everyday
Pink champagne
Baby come and make my day
We can parle parle
Girl if that's how you stay
Or keep it on down low
I'm easy that way
If you got time to spare
Then I've got all night




My incredible (and edible) baby
I like
