You say you got a girl And how you want me How you want me when you got a girl? The feelin' is wreckless Of knowin' you're selfish Knowin' I'm desperate Gettin' all in your love Fallin' all over love, like Do it to last, last Hanging out the back, all up in your lap Like is you comin' home? Is you out with her? I don't care long as you're here by 10:30 No later than, drop them drawers Give me what I want My man is my man is your man Her, this her man too My man is my man is your man Her, that's her man Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I just keep him satisfied through the weekend You're like 9 to 5, I'm the weekend Make him lose his mind every weekend You take Wednesday, Thursday Then just send him my way Think I got it covered for the weekend I gotta say I'm in the mood for a little bit more of that I mean I'm saying what kind of deal is two days? I need me at least 'bout four of them More of them, more of you on me On us, just tell me you want me, yeah Monday and I'll be at your door Ready to take her place Ready to give you What you've been missin' on weekdays What you've been waitin' for 10:30, no later than Drop them drawers, I know what you want My man is my man is your man Her, this her man too My man is my man is your man Her, that's her man Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I just keep him satisfied through the weekend You're like 9 to 5, I'm the weekend Make him lose his mind every weekend You take Wednesday, Thursday Then just send him my way Think I got it covered for the weekend Ayyy Bright ideas We got bright ideas Ayyy Bright ideas We got bright ideas Ayyy Bright ideas We got bright ideas
