Replay 

Remember the first time we met 
You was at the mall wit yo friend 
I was scared to approach ya 
But then you came closer 
Hopin' you would give me a chance 

Who would have ever knew 
That we would ever be more than friends 
We're real worldwide, breakin' all the rules 
She like a song played again and again 

That girl 
Like somethin' off a poster 
That girl 
Is a dime they say 
That girl 
Is the gun to my holster 
She's runnin' through my mind all day

See you been all around the globe 
Not once did you leave my mind 
We talk on the phone, from night til the morn 
Girl you really changed my life 

Doin' things I never do 
I'm in the kitchin cookin' things she likes 
We're real worldwide, breakin' all the rules 
Someday I wanna make you my wife 

That girl 
Like somethin' off a poster 
That girl 
Is a dime they say 
That girl 
Is the gun to my holster 
She's runnin' through my mind all day 

Shawty's like a melody in my head 
That I can't keep out 
Got me singin' like 
Na na na na everyday

A girl that could write you a symphony 
The one that could fill your fantasies 
So come baby girl let's sing with me 
Ay!

A girl that could write you a symphony 
The one that could fill your fantasies 
So come baby girl let's sing with me
