You already know

SWRVE hopped on this shit!

I don't know, you already know!

Girl, I been thinking bout you
Ooh nah ah nah nah

And I been trying to get you up here, girl you high
Ha ha hey hey
I been thinking bout you, the way and the things you do
Make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
It's you!
Baby it's your body
Baby girl you too naughty
You too good and you too bad
And girl I got bands I can make you dance
And that thing go bang a-lang a-lang
Do your thang do ya thang ya thang ya thang
Say my name, say my name, my name, my name
Who the man who the man the man the man

I belong to you
You belong to me
The moon follows the sun
And that's eternity
And when I wake up next to you
Before you turn to me
I look at everything I need
For the perfect recipe

Early in the morning
Breakfast just sitting there while she yawning
Early in the morning
Breakfast just sitting there while she yawning
Early in the morning
Higher than the Sun
Early in the morning
You can be the one
I wake up early every morning

French kiss and french toast
I cook it so good let your friends know
We change the time and the tempo
I'm a still eat the box like bento

Natural, casual
Bluefin tuna no casserole
Fresh botanicals I just packed a bowl
Maybe that's the reason why her ass is swole

Fit together we compatible
Sex is anything but any casual
When I take her to shop it's a fashion show
When I don't I just send her the cash info

Anything in this world you can have though
I'm so glad to have you you're so valuable
So sophisticated you're So Classical
When we get home we fucking like animals

Hello - Hey
Hey I been thinking about you all day
Really? I've been thinking about you to when you coming over

I don't know, but you already know

Girl, I been thinking bout you
ooh nah nah nah
And I been trying to get you up here girl you high
Ha Ha Hey hey
I been thinking bout you, the way and the things you do

Girl you make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship
