You know I'm coming over, right?

Now, you got it hot for me already, baby?

Okay

Ay, wear that little thing I like

(Now, baby, tell what you wanna do with me)

Cruisin' the streets, oh yeah

I got a real pretty, pretty little thing

That's waiting for me

Anticipatin', good love

Don't keep me waitin'

I got plans to put my hands in places

Let me take you to a place nice and quiet

There ain't no one there to interrupt

Ain't gotta rush

I just want to take it nice and slow

(Now, baby, tell what you wanna do with me)

See I've been waiting for this for so long

We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up

Baby

(Now, baby, tell what you wanna do with me)

Now, here we are

Drivin' 'round town

Contemplatin' where I'm gonna lay you down

I wish that I (I)

Could pull over

And get this thing started right now

I wanna do something freaky to you, baby

So call out my name

They call me U-S, H-E-R, R-A, Y-M, O-N-D

Tryin to get control of me, nice and slowly

You know, never lettin' go

Never messin' up the flow
