[Intro: Brian McKnight, PMD, Al Skratch]
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Ooh-ooh
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
I'll take her
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Ooh-ooh
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
I'll take her
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her" (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 1: Al Skratch, Brian McKnight, PMD]
It's Al Skratch, that real smooth brother
The undercover lover makin' moves on your mother
If I have to, it's only natural that I rap to
Any girl walkin' through my hood if she's lookin' good (Ooh)
And if she's somethin' fine, I'll be humpin' hind
Let's get it on, ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind (Bumpin')
Now that's what my man say
Sometimes I lay in my bed and I dream of being hand-fed
I made the jam with my man about the homies
But now I must remember all about my tenderonis
You're lonely by your homie, baby, I know how you're feelin'
You in the mood for some sexual healing (Sexual healing)
Walk into the jump, I spot you as the music's blarin'
Starin', but not carin' about what you're wearin'
You're full-grown with a mind of your own
I make you moan as my bone turn brick like stone
Whether you're single, we can mingle as you jingle
Swing low, with the black Mandingo
I be the dough-money-maker, rump-shaker
To the bedroom, I said, "Hm, I'll take her"
[Chorus: Brian McKnight, PMD, Big Ill]
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Yeah)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (Don't waste her time, don't waste her time)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (Yeah)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her)
I'll take her (I'll take her, yeah)
[Verse 2: Big Ill & Brian McKnight]
Well, it's Big Ill, silly me, I puff the Phillie, G
I make your body move, get smooth like Billy Dee
Get you open, make you beg for the third leg twice
'Cause I make it funky like my name was Greg Nice
Hit you off, then I'm ghost somethin' proper-like
Two things I never do, fall in love or drop a mic
I'm Big Ill, now you know my style, I'm glad you came
I'll give your man a pound, then I'll ask you what's your name (What's your name, baby?)
Sign a autograph, then I step with my staff
To the hotel, hope everything goes swell (Ooh)
That's what you say as I sway on my way to my room
Crazy deep, don't sleep, I keep the poom-poom
Jockin', clockin', knockin' out the box when
I perform, that's why the girlies, they swarm
To see Big Ill, later on that night at the arena
I seen her tryin' to get backstage between the
Niggas I was with and the security, she didn't
Lookin' from a distance, I see her booty's hittin' (Oh yes, baby)
Stagger to the barricade and bag her as I grab her
Thinkin' to myself, "Ayo, I got to have her"
[Chorus: Brian McKnight & PMD]
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (If you don't, oh, yeah)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (On my knees, oh, yeah)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (Oh, yeah)
I'll take her (I'll take her)
[Post-Chorus: Brian McKnight & Big Ill]
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Bring her here to me)
Said if you don't want her, don't waste her time (Oh, I'll take her, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3: Big Ill, Al Skratch, Brian McKnight]
I like your flow, yo, do I say oh-no (Ooh)
And get it hittin' one-on-one like a solo?
I think not, 'cause it ain't no fun
If my homie Mr. Raspy Skratch can't get none
Hey, I be the one with the voice that's raspy
Al Skratch, see, gettin' downright nasty
I pass the girls in my vicinity
Back to my man Big Ill, he got the remedy (For the)
[Chorus: Brian McKnight & PMD]
If you don't want her, don't waste her time
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (On my knees, yeah)
Looked her up and down, said, "Hm, I'll take her"
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her)
I'll take her (I'll take her)
[Outro: Brian McKnight]
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Ooh)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Ooh, I'll take her, take her)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (I'll take her, take her, take her)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Oh)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time (Woah, I'll take her)
If you don't want her, don't waste her time
