Yay

Ooh-woah-oh-hey

Woah-oh-oh

You got me standing on all threes

Pretty little girl in d short jeans

Right ya now mi firmer than a concrete

You make me cyaan sleep

Cuz You got me standing on all threes

Pretty little girl in d short jeans

Right ya now mi firmer than a concrete

Oh-oh-oh you make me cyaan sleep

I got you begging for more with a little foreplay

I got you screaming and saying things weh no fit fi ear play

Keep back, relax baby girl this is your day

You deserve good service you've earned it, it's her B.

You make me pop off the button, let the zipper undone, strip tease

No camera, not a publicity stunt

This is your gallery and your museum, reveal

The masterpiece and get a good critique when you done, yeah

Mi tek mi time cuz mi no inna no haste

Baby girl them say haste mek waste

Mi move at a slow pace

Make me lay you down to the waist

You deserve first place because now you got me

Standing on all threes

Pretty little girl in d short jeans

Right ya now mi firmer than a concrete

You make me cyaan sleep

Cuz You got me standing on all threes

Pretty little girl in d short jeans

Right ya now mi firmer than a concrete

Oh-oh-oh you make me cyaan sleep

She teasing me with her innocence

When she pretends as if she depends on my experience

She love it when mi tek control

Fi mek she feel happy seh she de pon d receiving end

She love it when me finger dem a crawl on her body

Make sure wet her like the rain a fall on her

She love it when me make di water run ina canal

Mek she crawl upon the wall, now mi na go stop

Any time you gone a you alone mi truely miss

Mi love it when you mek mi jus a talk bare foolishness

The way mi love it you affi wonder if a coolie this

So give it to mi even if a 2 minutes, cause

Cuz You got me standing on all threes

Pretty little girl in d short jeans
