[Chorus: x2] Come my lady, come come my lady. You're my butterfly, sugar baby. Come my lady, you're my pretty baby. I'll make your legs shake, you make me go crazy. Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill Time is passing I'm asking could this be real Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal I can feel too much is never enough You're always there to lift me up When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found Ever since you've been around You're the women that I want So yo, I'm putting it down. [Chorus] I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message to show me life is precious Then I guess it's true To tell truth, I really never knew Till I met you I was lost and confused Twisted and used up Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it My lifestyle is wild I was living like a wild child Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files And yo. What' s happening now? I see the sun breaking shining through dark clouds and a vision of you standing out in a crowd. [Chorus] Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me So, what ever tickles your fancy Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy So sexy, almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but you made me feel alive when I was almost dead You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase and as far as I can see it don't get better than this So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss and a thank you miss. [Chorus]
