[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Been gettin'✦ nuttin'✦ but bad news, ever✦ since the day you left me
I sit and wonder✦ is there a way, you could forget✦ me
Remember my phone calls, my late visits✦
Us havin'✦ breakfast in bed, then we straight kick it
Me and you in satin✦ sheets, 'til after✦ two
Come take a walk on the wild side, enjoy✦ the view
Whenever we collide; it's bound to be a pleasurable time
Makin'✦ love 'til the early✦ light
Sweetheart don't fight the feelin'✦
Come get a shot of this plain dealin'✦ and concentrate on the ceiling
It's my intention✦ to brush up
Beware✦ of the fireworks, cause every✦ time we touch..
.. it's bound to be, so relax, clown with me
As if you're down with me, get around✦ and see
The brother with tattoos and no fears
Runnin'✦ my fingers through your hair
If you call me
[Hook: Jazze Pha & (2Pac)]
Anytime✦ you like, baby✦ you can call me
Need a thug up in yo' life (call me thug)
Never✦ find nobody✦ like me
'Cause I know what you want (call me thug)
And girl you know I got you
You got what I need (call me thug)
And shorty✦ it's all on you
Baby✦ call on me
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Pardon me, but let's be specific
Baby✦ cause if you down with me, nigga✦ we can kick it
And let's take trips and ride airplanes
A hundred thousand dollar✦ car on dem gold thangs, so can you hang?
'Cause we can be real tight (right)
I got a big suite at the Hyatt , if it feel right
My only✦ wish is to be witcha✦
You got me steady✦ strivin' to getcha✦
Fantasizin' of friendly pictures✦
The pressure's✦ gettin'✦ major
I wonder✦ will you answer✦ my call, if I page ya
Got me goin' wild with anticipation✦
Face to face with us locked✦ up in strange places✦
What will it take? cause the heartache be heatbreak
Is my prediction✦ when you falsify and start fake?
In my position✦ I'm a careful man, but a player when I ball
Got my eyes on you baby,✦ can I call?
[Hook: Jazze Pha]
Anytime✦ you like, baby✦ you can call me
Need a thug up in yo' life, never✦ find nobody✦ like me
'Cause I know what you want, and girl you know I got you
You got what I need, and shorty✦ it's all on you
Anytime✦ you like, baby✦ you can call me
Need a thug up in yo' life, never✦ find nobody✦ like me
'Cause I know what you want, and girl you know I got you
You got what I need, and shorty✦ it's all on you
Baby✦ call on me
