Oh you say you wanna love me long time
‘Cause you know I got the wickedest style

Knowing very well that you got a lady
Hold up boy now, slow your roll down
‘Cause I can never be second to no one
You don’t know how, to treat a girl like me
[Bridge: Chengeto Brown]
‘Cause I’m no one-time lover, soon you’ll discover
No one-time lover, soon you’ll discover
