I wouldn't have it any other way
If I could roll you up then I'd be smoking everyday (Bad Man)
'Cause every time you come around your way
All I seem to think about is you on top of me

Girl pick up Damn you got me saying
When I feel the rush I know you're taking over me (Bad Man)
You can contol it now
Holding on your waist
Turn that thing around until you're begging for a break

You see why oh why oh why (why oh)
You got this thing about you
You don't even try (try oh)
And they got nothing on you

Why oh why oh why (why oh)
Girl when I get around you
I can't even lie
I want a bit of what you got

Gal if you take it all off
Then I wanna be a witness
Testify case closed when me fixed it
Just a little time we a spend make me invest
So gimmie gimmie all of the love plus the interest

Mister lover inna full control
So anything you want my girl let me know
Girl you body boom its time to explode
Just give me that access code

You see why oh why oh why (why oh)
You got this thing about you
You don't even try (try oh)
And they got nothing on you

Why oh why oh why (why oh)
Girl when I get around you
I can't even lie
I want a bit of what you got

Gal me want you come this'a way my direction
No deviate cause I don't see a next man
No choice one candidate no question
You get my vote gal you win the election
Main attraction you star the show
So when me cast you girl me nah'go let go
And if your knees go past your elbow
That make my head explode

You see, why oh why oh why (why oh)
You got this thing about you
You don't even try (try oh)
And they got nothing on you

Why oh why oh why (why oh)
Girl when I get around you

Why oh why oh why (why oh)
You got this thing about you (she got this thing about her)
You don't even try (try oh)
And they got nothing on you

Why oh why oh why

Why oh why oh why
You got this thing about you
