I just wanna be your man, girl
This goes out to girls all around the world (Big Reese, Jasper)
So I gotta make you understand, girl (I see you, woo)

It's the way you flip your hair
And those stylish clothes you wear
When you walk into the room
All my partners stop and stared at you
(All around the world, girls, all around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
But they just want to use you up
(All around the world)

It's the tattoo on your back
And that brand new Louis bag
With the matchin' high heels
I can't help this, girl, your swag's the truth, oh baby

(This goes out to girls all around the world)
And I just want to give her love, oh

(This goes out to girls all around the world)
I just want to be your man (I just want to be your man)
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)

Just to smell your perfume, got me throwin' up my hands
Seen 'em comin', seen 'em goin', never met someone as bad as you
(All around the world, girls, all around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
Since you're my favorite girl, yeah
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
I know just what you need to make you look complete
This platinum wedding ring, 'cause soon I got a thing for you
(All around the world, girls, all around the world
This goes out to girls all around the world)
I'ma take you around the world, oh baby
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)

(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)

Yeah
Okay, I'm thinkin' of a master plan
Nah, I'm lyin', shorty on my mind
Shorty like a fryin' pan
And I ain't got nothin' but sweat inside my hands
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
But I don't need a cent, 'cause shorty priceless
I tell it like this, I been (all around the world)
So baby, I can take you (all around the world)
I roll up, this is a hold up
It's Young Money, man, shorty made me smile
When ain't a damn thing funny
Haha, but still don't nothin' move but the money
So baby, if I move then we move with the money
Which is my favorite dish
But if I taste you, that'll probably switch
And then we would probably switch
Now I'm walking up the street, whistling this

Can't get you off my mind (haha)
You're like my favorite song (song)
Just want to turn you on
And rock you all night long, 'cause I, oh, I
(All around the world, girls, all around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
I just want to be your man (I just want to be your man)
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
Can't get you off my mind
You're like my favorite song (song)
Just want to turn you on
And rock you all night long, 'cause I, oh, I
(All around the world, girls, all around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
I just want to be your man (I just want to be your man)
(All around the world)
(This goes out to girls all around the world)
