[English]

Usher, baby

I just wanna get your attention (Ay girl, ay girl)

I really wanna be all up in your head (Turn the lights on)

'Cause what I got, you gon' wanna get some, yeah

But girl, that's only if you ain't scared

And I won't knock, won't ring no bells

You just float bottom up in the air

I'll get you hot, I know you oh so well

And when I walk in, all that I wanna hear

Is you say, "Daddy's home, home for me"

And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day

You know your daddy's home (Daddy's home)

And it's time to play (It's time to play)

So you ain't got to give my loving away

So all my ladies, say, hey, hey, hey, daddy

Hey, hey, hey daddy

So all my ladies, say, hey, hey, hey, daddy

Hey, hey, hey daddy

I ain't gotta do a lot of flexin'

Shorty, you already know what it is

And girl, tonight we'll gonna do a lot of sexin'

Can't nobody do your body like this

Oh, I won't knock, won't ring no bells

You just float bottom up in the air

Said, I'll get you hot, I know you oh so well

And when I'm walk in all that I wanna hear

Is you say, "Daddy's home, home for me"

And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day

You know your daddy's home (Daddy's home)

It's time to play (So it's time to play)

So you ain't got to give my loving away

So all my ladies, say, hey, hey, hey, daddy (Daddy know what you like)

Hey, hey, hey daddy

So all my ladies, say, hey, hey, hey, daddy

Hey, hey, hey daddy

Poke it on out, poke it out right there

I'm a fall back while you work that chair

Do your damn thing let the neighbors hear (Hey, hey, hey daddy)

Poke it on out poke it out right there

I'm a fall back let you work that chair

Do your damn thing all I wanna hear

Is you say, "Daddy's home, home for me"

And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day

Your daddy's home (Daddy's home)

It's time to play (So it's time to play)

Now, baby you ain't got to give my loving away

Daddy's home, home for me

And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day

You know your daddy's home (Daddy's home)

• I "won't" knock, "won't" ring no bells

  ➔ Negative future with “won’t” and parallel structure

• "I'm" a fall back "while" you work that chair

  ➔ Temporal conjunction “while” for simultaneous actions
