Is tonight the night that you take control of me 
Tell me boy what's it really gonna be 
Spending time for a while 
Oh daddy come close 
I'm straight up feeling your style 
I love the way you make me feel 
When you keep it real 
When you're holding me 
When you're spooning me 
Oh you look sexy when you're touching me 
When you're bumping me gently 

Sitting here waiting in my Vicky's 
In the mirror imagining you're with me 
Petit Cheri and I'm smelling real nice 
and Jouet cold, chillin' on ice 

Coming over at a half past ten 
And I'm wondering if I'm really gonna let him in 
Give in 
Give it up 
Let it go 
Or tell him no, or 

Should I give him some? 
Maybe 
Is this the night for fun? 
Maybe 

Check it out 

So here it is, and he comes right in 
And I fix us drinks 
And I start to think 
About what I'm gonna do 
Will a brother be true 
As he sizes my body up and down 

Can he beat the odds 
Can he play it safe 
Will he make me hot 
Will he hit the spot that I love a lot 
Will he leave me hanging, lonely, desperately 

Will he go and tell all his friends 
That we did it and we did it again 
Had me weak between the sheets 
Will he say I was a real big freak 

Maybe I should slow it down 
Cool off my flow, relax 
And let him know that if this gets out 
No more, no glove, no love 
Oh no, or 

Should I give him some? 
(I don't know) 
Maybe 
Is this the night for fun? 
Maybe 

Should I just give him some? 
Maybe 
Is this the night for fun 
Maybe 

Maybe 
Pretty baby 
Love me 
Like a lady 

Should I say yes or no 
Should I just let it go 
Should I slow down my roll 
Let me think 'cause I really don't know 
Don't know what to do about it baby 

If I do will I regret it 
Maybe I should just forget it 
What about if he ain't got no dough 
Tell me I should let him go 

Maybe 

Should I give him some 
Pretty baby 

Maybe, Maybe.
