Boy you should know that
I've got you on my mind
Your secret admirer
I've been watching you

At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you

Every day I pray my heart can win
Every night I pray I can call you my man, yeah, yeah, yeah
I need you, I want you, to have you, hold you, squeeze you
So I'm going out, every weekend
Just to see my boo again

At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you

These feelings I have for you
Can go deeper if you can come
Correct with your game boy (no, no)
No you can't be lame boy
But if you can please me
Then my love will come easy
I'll do anything you want
Freak me boy, I'm thinking of you

At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you

Boy you've got all I need
From what I see
And boy every night I am constantly thinking of you

At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you

At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
At night, I think of you
I want, to be your lady, maybe
If your game is on, give me a call boo
If your lovin's strong, gonna give my all to you
