Just another Friday night 
In the club on ladies night 
Nothing really lookin' up 
'Bout to bounce to another spot 
She appeared across the bar 
Such a bad ass superstar 
Body like a race car 
Can we share a drink its on me 

[Chorus]
Pour a drink for my shorty right here 
Throw it down 
Give me the next dance 
Cause I need me some ghetto romance 
Tell your girls that you're rolling with me in the Bentley 
And you had a change of plan 
Cause you need you some ghetto romance 

Sippin' Mo' and Alize 
Tongue kissing 
Thinking 'bout the love we could make 
Gotta get her home 
Gotta make her moan 
Gotta think of all the right words to say 
Incredible, so incredible 
Break you down, make you purr like an animal 
You make me wanna lay you on the bar 
And give you this love, oh

You're so sexy 
It's killing me 
Every little move you make 
The way you make it shake 
The way you back into me 
You're so lovely 
The way you dance with me 
Let's go back to the bar 
And sip on something nice before we leave 

[Chorus]
