LYRICS: I WANT YOU
Hey I don’t talk and hide my stick
My love for you is automatic
This ya love ya lick like brick
Come to make a girl boom-flick
Burn Rome I’m Afro-mantic
From the cherry tree you the first pick
Glad you left Mr. Cheat N Trick
Hear my love call girl ya come quick
CHORUS
I want you with every little beat of my heart
I need you in every little one of my thoughts
I want you with every little beat of my heart
I I I need you in every little one of my thoughts
Now listen me
I’m loving you with every bit of me
And if what you say is true
Then this yah love a the epitome
Of what is loving unconditionally
Just remember respect due
So all I ask is consider me yeah
No bickering no trickery
We rocking nice and smooth
If things should ever get slippery

CHORUS
Baby I want you with every little beat of my heart
Baby I need you in every little one of my thoughts
Baby I want you with every little beat of my heart
Oh Babe I need you in every little one of my thoughts
Yeh I no sweet talk I don’t eat the chalk
I wouldn’t like you if you never have no sense after dark
You my bright spark ketch it catch the walk
Boy like me never goin’ break your heart
Been here before but not like before
This ya love song make you break down the door
This is high love no low for love
All things below and nothing above
CHORUS

This is not the ordinary no bubble gum no elementary
Don’t drag your feet don’t dilly dally
Come to me babe nice and easy

Who said your love can’t be your best friend
The beginning of love without end and then and then
CHORUS
