Baby, you ain't gotta front
Shorty cause I want you
Baby, you ain't gotta front
Shorty cause I want you
Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me

Shorty cause I want you
Ooh I wanna show you, Ooh how I'ma shake it on you
Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
All you gotta do is come get me
Shorty cause I want you
Ooh I wanna show you, Ooh how I'ma shake it on you

I'm a tell you my thoughts mami then you can tell me,
Huh, what you think
We can discuss everything you wanna do baby,
Over these drinks

You can tell me how you want it, don't fight it
You can tell me how you like it
I'm Mr. However-You-Want-It, baby j-j-j-j-jump on it
I ain't here to sell you dreams

Or paint you some pretty pictures
I just wanna get in those jeans
And just like a rivalry, lick ya
Baby you got me feelin, crazy

Don't worry bout these haters, wait up wait up
I got room keys, come see me later
We can fulfill fantasies, so call your girls
Don't be mad at me, excuse me baby, I'm freaky, girl

Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
All you gotta do is come get me

Ooh I wanna show you, Ooh how I'ma shake it on you

Now I'm feelin a little woozy
It's like the room's spinnin and movin
I feel her body next to mine and I'm so fucked up,
It's like I'm blind

All I feel is her throwin it back and I'm lovin that
I'm so caught up in the moment,
Ain't no holdin back, never that
Mami ain't on E but I got her eyes rollin back

Mami it's all on me, let me show you how to play wit dat
Now please, let me show you a freak's technique
I know that you're a freak, you're just discreet
Sugar check this out, this gon be a night to remember

Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
All you gotta do is come get me
Shorty cause I want you
Ooh I wanna show you,
Ooh how I'ma shake it on you

Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
All you gotta do is come get me
Shorty cause I want you
Ooh I wanna show you,
Ooh how I'ma shake it on you

Baby
Ooh, ooh

Baby, you ain't gotta front if you want me
