Giving everything, you're giving everything tonight

And if you thought you could get away from me and get away from me

Girl, just take your time (time, time)

Girl, I got a question for ya Can I get an answer?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

She only love me 'cause I'm dangerous (dangerous, oh yeah)

Girl, let me hold ya, put mi ting all around ya
