Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
We gon’ make it, make it hot
We gon’ make it, make it hot

Everybody is looking for their one and only love
And I’d be fool to settle for someone that isn’t good enough
If you’re gonna love me, love me right
'Cause I’ve played a fool too many times
If you’re gonna love me, love me good
Or I’ll find another man who will, baby

'Cause a girl like me is worth it
And I want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, ain’t we gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain’t gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it

Can anybody tell me where to start?
I’m looking for a man that can hear my heart
Too effortlessly tell him who I put a lot of effort in me

Read my description
Got my attention
Things I should mention
You gotta be strong and about your business boy, come on

'Cause a girl like me is worth it
And I want the best cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain’t gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain’t gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it

Hey boy, you gotta do me proper if you wanna lock her
Go and get your act right, you don't need no Oscar
Baby, I ain't flawless, but I know I'm priceless
The way you get your on you turn me on like a light switch
Make 'em say oh, see, I'm attracted to the top notch, and you
A girl like me like 'em tall, dark and you
Keep it a hundred, then we straight
S to the H to the A to the R to the A to the Y to the A
Hey!

My man is smooth like butter and his voice got bass
What a mighty good man, I keep his ass on a leash
We in the sizzack, he the mizzac, got me sweatin out my trizzack
He not perfect but he worth it and he got that big ol' dizzack, dizzack
My sex so good I make him come back
You know many men, he don't sleep or take a nizzap
We rizzap then we just sit back and relax
I always hold it down for my nigga, bring the beat back!

'Cause a girl like me is worth it
And I want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain’t gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
'Cause a girl like me is worth it
Only want the best 'cause I deserve it
Just hold me down, you ain’t gotta be perfect
'Cause a girl like me is worth it

I need a good man
Tell me, will you be that?
Tell me will you be the one for me

Boy I ain’t perfect
But I know that I’m worth, yeah
I ain’t perfect
But I know that I’m worth
Just be good to me
And baby I’ll be good to you
You ain’t gotta be perfect
But baby just know that I’m worth, yeah
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
Make it hot for the summer, make it hot
Make it hot, make it hot, make it hot
