[LL Cool J]
I'mma✦ caress your face (uhh)
Give you the keys to your new place
Just don't touch my safe (ahaha)✦
That's forbidden fruit, and that would be a waste
Which bracelet you want? (huh?)
What shoes you wanna✦ flaunt? (huh?)
You like the Gucci joints
Or the Manolo✦ Blahniks cause they ultra✦ sheek
Have you lookin✦ like a runway✦ model (uhh)
Sippin✦ Perrier your way out of custom✦ bottles
Aromatherapy and massages
Take you to church baby,✦ teach you who God is (amen)✦
Tell me what you like (uhh)
Where you wanna✦ go, we goin there tonight
No question✦ I'm the real McCoy
You ain't gotta✦ be a pimp if she loves✦ you playboy
[Hook] w/ variations
[Bridge: LL ad libs]
[LL Cool J]
I tease you with the tip (mmm)
I'll bite your bottom✦ lip (mmm)
Make you climax real quick
Over✦ and over✦ again,✦ it's sick
Orderin your favorite food (mmm)
Incense and candles, I set the mood
Tear you up on Playstation✦ 2
You on the phone with your aunt cause I'm lacin✦ you (uhh)
Pillow✦ fights in the waterbed, mirrors on the ceiling (yeah)
Hot and sweaty,✦ clothes start peeling
Why you think the waterfall's in the shower✦
Float with me, the world is ours
You a pretty✦ little thing, y'know?✦
You keep me hungry,✦ make me wanna✦ get dough
That's why I take care of you
Most men can't do what I do, y'know?✦
[Hook] - repeat✦ 2X
[LL Cool J]
Yeah, treat you right baby✦
I'll treat you right, yeah..
