Yo I'll say you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,

If you wanna ________ my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you __________ got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.

Say you can handle my love are you for real,

If you really ___________ me then I'll __________ goodbye.

Chorus
So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me

We got Em in the place who likes it in your face,
We got G like MC who likes it on an
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady,
