She said, "I don't want a model
I don't want a movie star
You don't have to win the lotto, oh
I want you to win my heart," yeah

She said, "I just want someone true"
She said, "I just want someone to.."
[Chorus: Miguel, Chris Brown]
Smoke with me, babe
And lay with me, babe
Laugh with me, babe
I just want the simple things
To smoke with me, babe
And laugh with me, baby
And lay with me, babe
'Cause I just want the simple things
And I just want you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I just want you)
I want you
Oh, yeah, oh
[Verse 2: Chris Brown, Miguel, Chris Brown & Miguel]

Baby, I don't need a debutante

Alright, I said, "I just want someone real and someone true"
I need you to smoke with me, baby

That's why this can't be keep it one thou' (One thou')
Just know when you gon' be there when they all down there with me (Yeah)
New Range Rover Autobiography (New Range)
You can let your girl get in front, I play the back seat (Play the back)
Relaxin' your mind, that's my intuition (I got that)
Once our chemistry combine, love is revolution (Uh)

I be floatin' 'round with the sauce bag on me (On me)
I hope you hold me down 'til I fade away
