[Intro]
I wanna let you know
That you don't have to go
Don't wonder no more
What I think about you
[Chorus]
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Then, baby, come and share my world, share my world, oh
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby
[Verse 1]
Now it's obvious you need a friend to come hold you down
Be that one you share your everything when no one's around
Baby, come tell me your secrets, and tell me all your dreams
'Cause I can see you need someone to trust
You can trust in me
[Pre-Chorus]
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie
[Chorus]
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world (Woah-oh)
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, a walk with me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
It's been so long
I've had this feeling that we could be
Everything you've ever wanted, and your
Your fantasy
I won't push too hard or break your heart, 'cause my love's sincere
I'm not like any other girl you know
So let me erase your fears
[Pre-Chorus]
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie
[Chorus]
If it's lovin' that you want
You should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Then, baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, walk with me, baby
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here, baby
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl (Make me your girl, baby), your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Then, baby, come and share my world (I got what you need, so come share my world), share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-di-da-di, di-di-da-di-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie
[Chorus]
If it's lovin' that you want
You should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Then, baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, a walk with me (Come and take a walk with me)
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here, baby, baby
[Outro]

What I think about you, boy
I got what you need so come share my world, oh

This video is about having fun, giving off the vibe of the Caribbean. We did some mermaid-looking stuff down on the sand … and I’m just [performing] to the camera as if it were my boyfriend. Now we’re going to do [some scenes with] the Tiki torches. It’s going to be incredible."
