Pretty Ricky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hit me up on your cell phone
You go, girl, with your thong-th-thong-thong-thong
Sexy black, come over here
And let me put a few love voices in your ear
You smiled at me, girl, you're so fly
Shorty, you never had a love like I

Say shorty, will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Say will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say shorty, will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Say will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?

I'm like shorty, would you be mine? (Shorty, will you be mine?)
Think about you all the time, you on my speed dial
Don't answer the phone and I'll be damned if I hit redial
(Can you hear me now?) good
From the first time I called I knew you understood (ooh-woah, oh)
But do you comprehend, girl? Get with the plan
I'm like one hour, compared to a minute man
I'm everlastin', I want longevity
Under Pretty Ricky, baby, is where you need to be (yeah, yeah-eh)

Say shorty, will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Say will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say shorty, will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Say will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Say will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
Shorty, will you be mine?

I know you're young, but you're ready (I know you're young, but you ready)
See, we can bump and grind like R. Kelly (we can bump and grind like R. Kelly)
Baby, we ain't gotta fuss and fight (we ain't gotta fuss and fight)
Let's take our time and do it right, we gon' make love tonight
I'm like a love rollercoaster, flip you over (oh-ho), make you scream my real name
Hollerin' Diamond Blue Smith when you feel the pain (ooh-oh, oh-ho)
Ain't runnin' game (game), that ain't my territory (oh no)
Ask Remy Martin what's the real true story
When I push pull me closer (closer)
Let me put this thing on ya like your love was 'posed to
I'm the one you need, girl, girl, lemme show ya
I'll turn you to a woman from a child, I'm your destiny, baby, I'm a soldier

We gon' break it down, we gon' break it down
Shorty, shorty, say will you be mine?
(Shorty, shorty, would you be mine, shorty, would you be mine?)
Shorty, shorty, say will you be mine?
(Shorty, yeah, shorty, would you be?)

I'm not gon' leave ya, I'm not a cheater
A heartbreaker and deceiver, I wanna be with ya
Now shorty, would you be mine? Through hard times?
Easter, Christmas, thanksgiving, even valentine's?
Forever in a day and beyond, baby, what's wrong?
Ain't nothin' wrong with slow grindin' to a slow song, now gimme my neckbone
You feelin' so tender, lemme play some of this Teddy Pender'
What's on my agenda? Puttin' ice on your ring finger, yeah, ha

Say shorty, will you be mine? (Will you be mine?)
