Lyrics:

[English]

DJ, please pick up your phone

I'm on the request line

This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive (Come on)

Is it worth it, let me work it

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

If you got a big, let me search it

And find out how hard I gotta work ya

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya

Put the pussy on ya like I told ya

Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya

Your girl actin' stank then call me over

Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa

Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha

You do or you don't or you will or won't ya

Go downtown and eat it like a vulture

See my hips and my tips, don't ya

See my ass and my lips, don't ya

Lost a few pounds and my whips for ya

This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah

Work it, I need a glass of water

Boy, oh, boy, it's good to know ya

Is it worth it, let me work it

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

If you got a big, let me search it

And find out how hard I gotta work ya

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

(Come on)

If you a fly gal get your nails done

Get a pedicure, get your hair did

Boy, lift it up, let's make a toast-a

Let's get drunk, that's gon' bring us closer

Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster

See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya

Girlfriend want to be like me, never

You won't find a bitch that's even better

I make you hot as Las Vegas weather

Listen up close while I take it backwards

I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want

I love your braids and your mouth full of floss

Love the way my ass go bum-bum-bum-bum

Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum

And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong

Take my thong off and my ass go vroom

Cut the lights off so you see what I could do

Is it worth it, let me work it
