Mama, don't run away
You know I got it, I know you want it
I'm a phone call away
You know you're on my mind
I know that you wanna stay
Let me take you to space
I can smell you from miles away
Wanna see you in lingerie
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I'm willing to put my all in
Wanna see you in the mornings

I'mma say gimme your number
Because uh la you look so good and you make me wonder
Whether you're coming from Africa
Or you're some type of Americana
Me aguh follow you wherever you call uh
Just as long as you don't gimme no drama
And if you want I'll put you on my bed
One time make me start it
Take off for me your sunglasses
Me see you whining at the party

Come put it pon' me
Man I'm one call away anytime you're lonely
Love you one time you will always love me
And I don't wanna wait too long
For you to come over and

Put your arms all around it
Take it now that you've found it
It don't need to be no deeper

Put your arms all around it
Take it now that you've found it
It don't need to be no deeper
It's finders keepers
It's finders keepers
It's finders keepers
It don't need to be no deeper

I got what you want
If you trust me then trust me
I got what you want (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
If you trust me then trust me (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
I got what you want, 'cause I got you

All these finders keepers
The way you look got me speechless
Let me take a deep breath
I like the way you roll up wearing nothing but your T-shirt on
Girl you look better with no make-up on
Girl you're a diamond forever shinin'
Spend a likkle time on a liquor island
Have a couple drinks catch a likkle whinin'
Girl you know I'm the one for you
Girl lemme show you what a man can do
Girl lemme just put my hands on you
Girl don't be scared, I'll take good care
I'll take you there if you want me to
Girl you got me wanting alla dis
I want a girl I can hug and kiss and have my kids
Girl you're fitting that descript
I like the way you moving up your hips
Make me wanna come and just

Put your arms all around it
Take it now that you've found it
It don't need to be no deeper
It's finders keepers
Put your arms all around it
Take it now that you've found it
It don't need to be no deeper

So put your arms all around it
Around it, around it, around it
