Hold up, wait a minute Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity Get on the floor if ya got that booty Yo, you got that funky beat Let's do it, man Yo, we got a little problem Yeah, we - you and me You gotta let me know somethin' I don't know - you say you like me So what's up? You know what I'm sayin'? You said it loud, and I heard you Never tried to hurt you Some say I'm old-fashioned I like to take my time and do it slow You know with the flow But don't try to rush it So ride it like a horse And let nature take its course Get to know each other Be my friend not just my lover Share your thoughts with me Love my mind not just my body, baby Do you really want me, baby? Let me know 'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came 'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity Get on the floor if ya got that booty Wait a minute Please understand the way I feel I must have trust or there's no deal My emotion's ain't to be Played with or given free I appreciate greatly The way you toleratered me Sometimes I do act flaky Wouldn't blame you if you hate me You put up with my butt When I wouldn't give it up Yeah, I know that really sucks But if you wait awhile, I'll make it up Do you really want me, baby? Let me know 'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came 'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like Yeah, all right I know what you're sayin', and it's cool but... Yo, I gotta know what's up, you know what I'm sayin'? 'cause sometimes when we're alone kissin' and huggin' and things I feel like, "Yo, is this it? Is it really gonna happen? Yes!" And then pow! bam! boom! - nothing Why you teasin' me? Who me? A tease? Brother, please You're just having bad memories About some skeeze who did the squeeze And had you on your hands and knees Look, I am telling you straight out That's not what I'm all about I'd just be playing myself out If I spent the night at your house Now don't get me wrong I didn't mean to turn you on We haven't known each other long But this is my life not just a song Do you really want me, baby? Let me know 'Cause if you really like me I suggest you tell me so Got no time for silly games, that ain't even why I came 'Cause I may be the kind of guy you like Ain't nothin' but tutti-fruity Get on the floor if ya got that booty
