[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
So much sugar it's makin✦ my head rush
Tell me what the recipe✦ is for that stuff
Break me off a piece of crust
I'm so full I'm bout to bust
Just one slice is not enough
Dang that thang tight like handcuffs
What I gotta✦ say to you for you to give it up?
What if I was payin you so you could live it up?
Hoochie seats inside✦ yo' truck
Tiffany rocks and trillion cuts
You be Starsky, I be Hutch
Ride shotgun, I pop that clutch
Juicy✦ sweatpants drive me nuts
Take my 2-way, stay in touch
I'm gon' scoop you, heat you up
Take you, bake you, eat you up
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Throw it to me - that apple cobbler✦
Baby✦ it, can I see (can I see) that apple pie?
I said throw it to me - that apple cobbler✦
Baby✦ it, can I get (hey) can I get it deep fried?
[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
Turn that hair 'round, buck them hips
Love when your hair get stuck to your lips
Apple cobbler✦ sweet and thick
I'm gon' eat you 'til I'm sick
Yo' dessert is worth a grip
I admit✦ you make me trip
Make me wanna✦ run to the mall like I'm a trick
I can't believe you're makin✦ a baller have a fit
Trippin, switchin past my clique
Lick that juicy,✦ ask my clique
Stretch them jeans girl make them fit
Make me go outside and pit
You know me, my cake is sick
Me and Timbo makin✦ hits
Apple cobbler,✦ thick and rich
Just how hot can one girl get?
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Throw it to me - that apple cobbler✦
Baby✦ it, can I see (can I see) that apple pie?
I said throw it to me - that apple cobbler✦
Baby✦ it, can I get (hey) can I get it deep fried?
