[Bridge: Mos Def]
Love, the dangerous✦ necessity that people seek without regard
To where they are
The human heart is curious✦ above✦ all things
Love, the lights are low, your eyes are bright
The music plays, it's sweet delight
It's out of sight, I'm feeling right
Your dress is tight
Oh, how I want you right now
[Verse 3: Kanye West, Kanye West & Mos Def]
Don't tell me you sing, you 'bout to get a deal
You drunk and hot girls
"Ah-da-da-da-da,"✦ That's how the fuck you sound
You drunk and hot girls, yeah
You only✦ live once, do whatever you like
I thought I'd be with you for only✦ one night
Now I'm with this girl for the rest of my life
That drunk and hot girl
[Chorus: Kanye West]
We go through too much bullshit✦
Just to mess with these drunk and hot girls
(Had a little sippy-sippy)
We go through too much bullshit✦
Just to mess with these drunk and hot girls
(Did she say she want a brewski?)
[Post-Chorus: Kanye West & Mos Def]
We go
Through too
Much shit
To mess
Mess with
These drunk
All of these drunk and hot girls
[Outro: Mos Def]
