Bounce bounce bounce bounce
Shake it Shake it shake it shake it

Verse 1:
Baby you da man,
'cause ya' put it on on me.
In the mornin' I will always feel you touchin' on me.
I got another man,
But he ain't like you.
And I can't be yo' baby mamma though I'd like to.
Ca-ca-ca-ca (call me),
real late at night,
when my man's asleep.
So take a red eye.
To the west side,
up and down my spine.
I'll give what you been missin,.
I'm so bonified.

Chorus:
(Call me) ooh, when you need me.
(Baby), you don't have to worry.
(Call me) we can do (something).
[repeat 2x]

Baby take my hand when you feelin' lonely,
It don't matter where we are let me put it on ya'.
I got another man, but he ain't like you,
And I can't be yo' baby mamma though I'd like to.
Ca-ca-ca-ca (call me)
At the crack of dawn.
I'll be sure to meet ya' with no panties on.
We can slip and slide we can take a ride.
I'll supply what you been missin',
I'm so bonified.

Chorus 2x
Bounce bounce bounce bounce
Shake it Shake it shake it shake it

Bridge:
You can call me, call me
You can call me, ooh
