Ooh na na na... ohhh
Ooh na na na... Oooh woah

[Verse 1:]
Girl I had a long day at work
My label been stressin me out girl
I can't wait to get home and ease the pressure
Cause I know once I kiss them sexy lips I'm a feel much better
I feel just like a 5-year-old gettin that toy out a cereal box
When you put that ooh-wee on me you got that good
(ohhh wooo ohhh) baby can't wait till you say my name
And we makin love baby till the crack of dawn

[Hook:]
So don't say no please say yes (cause tonight I need to feel you girl)
Don't say no please say yes (cause I need you more than ever)
Girl I only need you to do one thing babe... I need you to say my name

[Chorus:]
Baby say my name (ohh woah)
Say my name (girl say)
Say my name
Baby say my name
Say my name (ohh yeah)
Baby say my name
Girl say my name (say my name, say my name)
Baby say my name... name

[Verse 2:]
Nothing feels better than hearing your voice
Cause when I'm havin a bad day girl you ease the pressure

Feels like we're siamese twins the way you know me
You know just what to do to get me going

[Hook:]
So don't say no please say yes (cause tonight I need to feel you girl)
So don't say no please say yes (cause I need you more than ever oooh)
I need you to do just one thing yeah... I need you to say my name

[Chorus:]
Baby say my name (YEAH)
Say my name (scream for me)
Girl say my name (say my name baby)
Baby say my name (When we makin love)
Say my name (say my name girl)
Baby say my name (say my name... ooh yeah)
Oh say my name (baby say my name)
(say my name) put that on everything (say my name)
You're the only girl that I want (say my name)
I just need you to (baby say my name)
Give me all you got (say my name)
Say yeah... my name, my name(baby say my name) (oh say my name) (baby say my name... name)

[x4:]

Ooh na na na... ooooh woah





(When baby ain't around you say baby I love you)
