Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me, 
From across the room I can see it and can't 
Stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out I've seen her type before

Oh yeah that's her the big dog tryin' to get her little kitty to purr
Ex-man lookin' at me like I'm Lucifer
Cause he knows I will deal with his case yes sir!
If I was the last man I earth 
I would only take that girl end of search
She give a new definition to the word curve
Got chicks in the strip club envyin' her
Body's like weapon, a mass irruptions
See the glad on that phat obstruction
Tongue game give a new type of seduction

Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me, 
From across the room I can see it and can't 
Stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous
That girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous

Oh, bad to the bone, everything locked like a two three zone
I wanted to make my black snake moan
Talk a little bit and take that home
She bad and she know the deal
That's what I can't hide when she want to conceal
I mean Megan Good and Halle Berry put together 
Ain't close to the jubee I see
No no, no disrespect but this gyal a pon another level,
Cut the check, uh
Tell king, max stop the press, say kid can I get a witness

Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me,

Stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out I've seen her type before

That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous

I see you got that fire by the way that you walkin'
From left to right I watched her go down
Girl I just want it right now don't wanna do no talkin'
Shortys so right I need to slow down

Figure eight, good body shape
When she on the dance floor, gyal dem irrate
When she do her thing man can't walk straight
That biscuit soak up everything in my plate
Bad heels like Jessica Pete
I'm tryna give home girl sex and the city-tity
Itty bitty waistline moves with the baseline
One lick of punch, I'm fine

Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me, 
From across the room I can see it and can't 
Stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous
That girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous
That girl is so dangerous,
That girl is a bad girl, yeah
