[Chorus]
The way that you walking, the way that you talking
You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out til the morning

Cause you shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me
Keep on shaking it all for me, giving it all to me
Rubbing that body on me

And you can have your way boy

Now I've been waiting patiently, anticipating you and me
And it ain't no question cause boy I love you when you put that body on me

Now I see you lookin' at my body baby
Now you wanna come and put it on me
If I gave it to you, could you promise me

Now I ain't the one in no relationship,
And I ain't tryna be the other chick (I know you want it)

[Chorus]
