I miss all of y'all
All of you girls standin' together like that, I can't take it
Women, I can do anything you like
I can do anything you need
Ain't I got a better body
Than the magazines you read
None of them boys know the first thing about your fantasy
And if they tried, they can not do it just like me
I know you certainly been gone
And it's been much too long
And there's some things we need to do
So I know you need to get home
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
You wanna ride it, my motorcycle
You've got a license, have you got the right to
Gonna pop a wheelie, don't try too high too
Take it easy on the clutch, 'cause girl I like you
I can see it the way you like
I can do anything you need
I can give you dirty looks
Like them niggas on Soul TV
None of them boys know the first thing about your fantasy
And if they tried, they can not do it just like me
I know you certainly been gone
And it's been much too long
And there's some things we need to do
So I know you need to get home
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
You wanna ride it, my motorcycle
You've got a license, have you got the right to
Gonna pop a wheelie, don't try too high too
Take it easy on the clutch, 'cause girl I like you
There comes a time, when bravery will grab your wrist
You'll need a sugar please, baby
There comes a time, and you won't believe what you'll do
When that sugar's callin' you
Girl, this is Sho-time, this is where you wanna be
H-O-M-E, satisfaction guaranteed
And there will come a time, this is where you wanna be
'Cause it's everything you need, you were lonely mindin' me
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
Come get it bae
You wanna ride it, my motorcycle
You've got a license, have you got the right to
Gonna pop a wheelie, don't try too high too
Take it easy on the clutch, 'cause girl I like you

@KRaVersailles
'older women' ... un they're like 30 to 35 I'd say. let's get a grip on what 'older' is. like life stops at 25?
@ssaxmm
Allison Laurent he means older as in mature women because most music videos use teen agers,tweens or little kids
