All that own you been so good to me (You stupid for this) if this world were mine
Whoop! Camay we gon take back like polka dots holla

Boy, want you put the needle on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass lets make a toast wit me (Turn Da Lights Off)

You and I in the room so dark
Hold me tight all night lights off
Kiss me everywhere I can never dream boy
It's like heaven, heaven (when we yeah) yeah

You gotta put the needle back on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
Then lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
