Such a beauty, you're a cutie, every man hypnotize
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Coulda never lead me stray no matter how hard them try
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide

True you see me hesitate, nobody think say me shy
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Them put the after call me for me, finna me roll me eye
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide

[Chorus x2]
Sweet girl, you're the only one for me, the only one who has my heart
There's no need to stray, our love is like a perfect work of art
Ain't no need to lose it, cool it, really gotta play it smart
(Got to play it smart)

Now what about man, them have them woman and them sweetheart
Gal, ina me ears me have to tell her say to ease off
Understand me afraid but me no wanna get her teed off
Pull them on me up a woman who nah ramp the squeeze off

If you have a good thing them say you no fi spoil it
Argument a brew and me no really want fi boil it
Ah, but what if a girl ina your bed, you might soil it
You might come back home and find she wanna check out you private

[Chorus x1]

Now what a sweet chance fi wake up ina the morning
After me spend the whole night with me darling
And the pager go off and she a wonder who's calling?
Look upon her face, me done take that as the warning

Know when a woman start get too protective
Might have to try figure out her objective
Better make sure your argument is effective
Real old Columbus, she no stop play detective

[Chorus x1]

Such a beauty, you're a cutie, every man hypnotize
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Coulda never lead me stray no matter how hard them try
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide

True you see me hesitate, nobody think say me shy
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide
Them put the after call me for me, finna me roll me eye
Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide

Now what about man, them have them woman and them sweetheart
Gal, ina me ears me have to tell her say to ease off
Understand me afraid but me no wanna get her teed off
Pull them on me up a woman who nah ramp the squeeze off

If you have a good thing them say you no fi spoil it
Argument a brew and me no really want fi boil it
Ah, but what if a girl ina your bed, you might soil it
You might come back home and find she wanna check out you private

[Chorus x2]
