[Intro]
Come and get it, girl... come on
Come and get it, girl... come on
Come and get it, girl... come on
Come and get it, girl... come on
[Chorus: woman singer]
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
[Heavy D]
I'm talkin about swing, swing, swing with the swinger
Forget about what you heard, here comes the humdinger
And I'm a ride the beat like a jockey rides a horse
I'm the boss, hold your horse, Heavy D is on course
Pardon me, excuse me, watch ya mama, biggie
Here comes the Hevstеr, a good friend of Ziggy
Marley, and Eddie Murphy's brothеr named Charlie
If the beat is very funky, then it's made by Marley
When I was in school, sometimes I didn't study
Producer Pete Rock has a brother named Ruddy
Ruddy is my cousin, the oldest in his fam
And Ruddy really appeciates a good Jamaican jam
Me for myself, myself and for me
I like a fresh lemon mixed with honey and tea
Or a chocolate chip cookie, later on a lil' nookie
In the morning, I wake up, I place a bet with my bookie
Wash my face with Ivory, girls don't connive me
When I grow up, I want a kid big just like me
No need to bow on ya hands and knees
Just come a little closer 'cause the lover's got what you need
[Chorus: woman singer] (Heavy D)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
(The lover's got what you need)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
[Heavy D]
Mister, mister, pass me the muffin
The kind with the crisp that's brown like stuffing
Then while you're at it, pass the lemonade
But cut the charades, I can do without the shade
Aiyyo, make me happy, try to be snappy
I like to say "waddup" to my mammy and my pappy
My big sister Porsh', my brothers of course
My man EJ, he's a don from the Source
Then D.O.C., UFO, ?????, Daddy-O
Little Big Mayne on the block, playin a game of C-Lo
Can't forget CL, ?Tom of KBS?
Cousins Grace and Shelly, boy those girls can dress
Little cousin Cap, then the 'u' in me is Uni
Then up to Philly, what's up to cousin Chewie
No need to bow on your hands and knees
Just come a lil' closer 'cause the lover's got what you need
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet (...well, alright)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet (...well, alright)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet (...well, alright)
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet (...come on, bring it in)
{DJ Eddie F cuts and scratches}
[Chorus (This time along with a group of singers singing "I got what you need")]
[Heavy D]
+Mary Had a Little Lamb+, but Heavy had Mary
Some say it's a lie, but on the contrary
Sure as I'm standing here those boots got smoked
(Yo, what happened to the little lamb~?!) -- Sheepskin coat
I ain't no joke, so you better see the joker
Won a thousand dollars last night playin poker
Look there's a cutie, I better rope-a-dope her
Treat her like buddah, roll her up and then smoke her
Extra! Extra! Read all about me
Turn to Channel 1, Heavy D's on TV
Look at him go! Look at him go, look at him!
Time to get the steaks out the fridge and start cookin 'em
I'm so smooth, when I walk I strut
When I run I glide, when I dip I duck
No need to bow on ya hands and knees
Just come a lil' closer, 'cause the lover's got what you need
[Chorus]
