[Verse 1]
Don't pull your pants before I go down
Don't turn away, this is my time
Don't make demands, I don't take none
Just say a prayer, then it's gon' get done
[Verse 2]
Don't pull your pants before I go down
Don't turn away, this is my time
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
[Hook]
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey-lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no wrong
Got you round my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm
[Verse 3]
And 'cause I can, I'm gon' go west
Just like a man, I'm the fortress
Like a shotgun, I can't be outdone
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
Like a shotgun needs an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some
[Hook]
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey-lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no wrong
Got you round my finger like a lonely lover's charm
[Bridge]
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead, go
Go ahead
[Hook]
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no harm
Go ahead, go way low in my honey-lovin' arms
Go ahead, go way low where I can do no wrong
Got you round my finger like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm
Like a lonely lover's charm
