(shorty... shorty... shorty)
She caught me off guard
Love is a gamble, life is a lesson
By golly when I met you, you made a good impression on me.
She caught me off guard, Now bring it to me
Love is a gamble, life is a lesson
By golly when I met you
(when I met you, when I met you)...
Now I'm not tryin' ta be rude, I know you hear it everyday
But if I didn't say hello to you then I would be gay
An if I didn't tell you what I see it wouldn't be wise
Cause everynight I see myself with you at every sunrise
Hypnotized, I'm in a daze
(I'm in a daze)
And I'm so confused cause you just might walk away
Like you got somethin to lose
But I beg to differ, if I may be so blunt to say
That the heat of a hundred-and-one suns can't equate
To the warmth you generate and give to me with a smile
All I'm asking for is opportunity, lady I'll show you
That we could grow to do what only a few ever share
As a love affair, no one is true, if only you knew
I find myself just hitting foul balls
And I'd give anything just for a number to call
Make you glad that I came, I know this world is insane
Cause here I am in love with you an' I don't even know ya name, I'm sayin'
(what?) I said I'm sayin'
Like a hit of ectasy, what's the recipe?
I pass here everyday, same time, just ta see
Hear my literature, can I sit with ya?
You embellish my thoughts, how can I get with ya?
Were ya heaven sent? Elegant, benevolent
Please excuse me when I say that he's irrelevant
You're my ritual, lovin' you habitual
You're this drug in my vein that I'm addicted to
N-N-Now
Now I don't mean to be crass I know you hear it all the time
But if I didn't try to talk to you, I'd be out my mind
So 'til ya be outta time you're undivided is mine
I said I find ya defined and I just wanna intertwine
You probably think I got spine an' I just wanna bone ya
Lookin' for a 'Good Time' like JJ, Penny, Willona
Know plus she a gain, natural, face of a flower
Smellin' like Chanel comes out the faucet of her shower
Yo I guess even a rose next to you in that dress
Would close envious, you could leave men penny-less
No question, eyes could give a priest an erection
And God had to be horny how he blessed ya section
Of ya torso, more so you got ya thing together
Lookin' like ya feelin' like butta-soft leather
And it's no game, in a world that's so insane
I could fall in love with you without me knowing ya name
I'm saying
Like a hit of ectasy, what's the recipe?
I pass here everyday, same time, just ta see
Hear my literature, can I sit with ya?
You embellish my thoughts, how can I get with ya?
Were ya heaven sent? Elegant, Benevolent
Please excuse me when I say that he's irrelevant
You're my ritual, lovin' you habitual
You're this drug in my vein that I'm addicted to
I know I sound kinda slick & I'm not tryin' ta pull the wool
But what you do everyday besides just lookin' beautiful
Gotta be crime related, you stand out like a clue
Caught up in ya orbit my thoughts revolve around
Who but you could make me choke? An' I don't even get high
It's my word that ghetto love is the law that I live by
If I don't get it right, I gotta pad and what I'm sayin
Is a life full of all you got??
What you want girl?
Ectasy ain't sex ta me, you can leave the rest to me
I'm a do what keeps you next to me
Let me open up the door and make you familiar with foreign
The object of my affection will live forever, never boring
Not ya average missionary, Drez the rollercoaster
I'd park a Testarosa and walk just ta get closer & talk
Love & pain, I know it's soundin' like game
'Cause here I am in love with you and I don't even know ya name, I'm sayin'
(what?) I said I'm sayin
Like a hit of ectasy, what's the recipe?
I pass here everyday, same time, just ta see
Hear my literature, can I sit with ya?
You embellish my thoughts, how can I get with ya?
Were ya heaven sent? Elegant, Benevolent
Please excuse me when I say that he's irrelevant
You're my ritual, lovin' you habitual
You're this drug in my vein that I'm addicted to
She caught me off guard
Love is a gamble, life is a lesson
By golly when I met you, you made a good impression on me.
She caught me off guard, Now bring it to me
Love is a gamble, life is a lesson
By golly when I met you
(when I met you, when I met you)...
