[Chorus: Mary J. Blige + (LL Cool J)]
Like lemondrops✦ with chocolate✦ kisses✦
Every✦ bite is more delicious✦
My favorite✦ flavor✦
(Mix me and you and we can't go wrong)
Like caramel✦ on vanilla✦ sundae
Have a scoop you'll want some day
'Cause you're my favorite✦ flavor✦
(C'mon, baby✦ baby✦ c'mon) c'mon
[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
My flavor's unreal✦
Smooth but hard like woodgrain on the wheel
Recline✦ your seat baby,✦ enjoy✦ how it feel
Why you crossin' your legs, them high heels of eel?
Kick off your shoes, run your toes on the dash
Now peel off your stockings, c'mon let's get it poppin'✦
I'm in the mood for cotton,✦ candy✦ and I'm plottin'
To see you in somethin' silky✦ and see-through
Me too! Man you know how we do
Camcorder main feature, damn a preview
I love how the bottom on your body's EQ
Low but thick though like the base in a six-fo'✦
So here we go (here we go) we bunny✦ hoppin'✦
I hit the switches baby,✦ you keep it droppin'
It feels marvelous,✦ you in charge of this
I hope you ain't heartless but my guard's down regardless
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige + (LL Cool J)]
Like lemondrops✦ with chocolate✦ kisses✦
Every✦ bite is more delicious✦
My favorite✦ flavor✦
(Mix me and you and we can't go wrong)
Like caramel✦ on vanilla✦ sundae
Have a scoop you'll want some day
'Cause you're my favorite✦ flavor✦
(C'mon, baby✦ baby✦ c'mon) c'mon
[Bridge: Mary J. Blige + (LL Cool J)]
(Uhh) All I wanna✦ do
Is eat you up 'cause you look so good
(Think I look alright huh?)
(I look better✦ on you, what'chu✦ really✦ wanna✦ do?)
All I wanna✦ do
Is show you boy that I taste good too
(I know you taste good ma)
(What'chu✦ sayin', want a sprinkle of the hood ha? Ha?)
[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
We had it out
Now tell your girls the truth when they ask what I'm about✦
The cookies✦ and the cream and the peaches 'n praline✦
Butter✦ pecan✦ themes✦ in your daydreams
All real sugar, no sacca-rhine✦
Low calorie, leave no cavities✦
Guaranteed no place you'd rather✦ be
Than here with me, mix chocolate✦ in the factory
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige + (LL Cool J)]
Like lemondrops✦ with chocolate✦ kisses✦
Every✦ bite is more delicious✦
My favorite✦ flavor✦
(Mix me and you and we can't go wrong)
Like caramel✦ on vanilla✦ sundae
Have a scoop you'll want some day
'Cause you're my favorite✦ flavor✦
(C'mon, baby✦ baby✦ c'mon) c'mon
[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
Oh, baby✦
