Natural ting still
The whole galleria of girls still, you know?
Whole library full of girls still
Natural thing still
Catch the heavens

[Chorus]
The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

Anytime mi a go bore them, same time me adore them
When mi rip off the negligee
And once mi can afford them, then me a go sport them
Put them all pon display
A suh them, nice mi cyan ignore them
So we haffi tour them, tek them all over to L.A
Then, a so we a go score them
Anytime mi lure them, fi take a ride along the freeway

The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

[Verse 2]
So
Me very picky when me choose them
Who nuh good, me loose them
When me a run mi survey
And before me go bruise them, mi tek them out and cruise them
Inna mi yacht along the bay
'Cause me know me enthused them, and me amuse them
With mi lyrical display
Same time me nah confuse them, the doctor nah abuse them
Pure loving without delay
[Chorus]
The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

Anuh one of the whole committee inna the city, them yah kitty
Nah guh share with nobody else

The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

Anuh one of the whole committee inna the city, them yah kitty
Nah guh share with nobody else, no
[Verse 3]
Yes, mi love how dem a dweet
Señoritas look petite
When me a make a drive through
And the way how them complete, and them look so sweet
Me haffi live pon dem avenue
Nuff gyal a kiss dem teeth, how them cyaa compete
When them a walk inna crew
So the way how me a see it, make them move to me beat
And them will stick like glue
[Chorus]
The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

Anuh one of the whole committee inna the city, them yah kitty
Nah guh share with nobody else

Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf

[Verse 4]
Anytime mi a go bore them, same time me adore them

Then, a so we a go score them
Anytime mi lure them, fi take a ride along the freeway

The way them gyal yah nice and pretty, full of witty
Them nuh gritty, me a go put them pon mi bookshelf
