Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend
I can make U happy baby, over and over again

Saw U at the party, U were lookin' so fly
Everybody wanted your number, U wanted mine
U came right up 2 me in one wink of an eye
U told me that U think of me both day and night and that is why

I've got 2 know how can U give your body 2 another
When your mind is here with me?
U need a friend much more than a lover
That's all I ever said I wanted 2 be

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend (Oh baby)
I can make U happy baby, over and over again

I'm waitin' 4 the phone call, but it just don't ring
I'm lookin' 4 a letter or a sign from heaven or anything
Everyday that goes by is another day I want U more
I'd give a million dollars 2 see U baby standin' at my door

I'll lay U down and tell U stories
About the way that we could be
And when U're ready 2 feel the glory (Feel the glory)
I will only want 2 love U when it's somethin' that U need

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend (Oh baby)
I can make U happy baby, over and over again

Not that U care 4 a silly rhyme frontin' an old cliché (Yeah) (Yeah)
But look at me baby, what can I say?
There ain't another fish in the sea (Yeah)
I could be singin' a song any style, any way
Ain't nothin' but a trick 2 me (Blow)
But I'm gonna blow this horn until U're on your knees
Beggin' me please, please, please
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme love I can count on
Gimme, gimme body I can't go without
Uh, slaves 4 one another (Hey!)
Yeah baby, that's what I do believe I am talkin' about
So let me know how U wanna go? (Yeah)
U wanna get with that or this? (Yeah)
Uh, acknowledge me, baby
U got 2 or U can.. kiss..

How can U give your body 2 another? (How can U, baby?)
When your mind is here with me (It's here with me)
U need a friend much more than a lover (U need a friend)
That's all I ever said I wanted 2 be
(That's all I ever, ever wanna be baby)
(Acknowledge me, me, me, oh yeah!)
Acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge, acknowledge me

Acknowledge me, don't dog me anymore (No baby)
I was here in the beginning and I'll be here 4ever more
Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend

Acknowledge me, I only wanna be your friend
(Oh, don't cha worry about a thing)

Come on pretty baby, sit your butt on the chair there
And let me run agenda in and out of your hair fair
Agenda 4 the morning, noon and night, so prepare there
U could come alone or tell a friend, I don't care bear
This a funky party so U need 2 be open
Givin' up all I need so I don't need 2 be hopin'
And even if we're dealin' with that time of the month
It's 4th and goal and I ain't about 2 punt
Cuz as soon as U be strollin' in your Lagerfeld blazer
U need 2 know how many ways a brother can praise ya
2 bad 4 hell, 2 good 2 let heaven raise ya
And if U wanna see my dream, I need U 4 days and days
Baby doll, can U get the hell away
From that thing U call a man and then we can play
The kind of music that'll make your big butt sway
2 the back, 2 the forth
When it's all said a better brother should be more
Thank the Lord
Huh, 4 a body like that, titties swingin' like a door
Gimme 2 times just 2 thank my Savior
Girl, what can I say, U got the crazy flavor
I'm givin' U plenty propers so U got 2 score
The only one that's gonna make U holler 4 more
Like a whore, I'm yours
Acknowledge me, baby, what are U waiting 4?

{"Down on it" repeats in BG}
Welcome, this is where I live {fades out}
This is where I dream my dreams
2night we'll make love until the world stops turning
U're small but very strong, U move like a cat
