Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ow!
[Verse 2]
I can't stand it when you're holdin' my hand
I can't stand it when you call me a natural-born lover man
I can't love you when say, "Baby, please don't go"
I don't need to, baby, 'cause I want some more
[Verse 3]
I said love me, baby, love me like you never, never, never did before
Kiss me, squeeze, me, huh, make me want some more
'Cause you know that I need ya, ha
You know that I need ya
You know that I need ya
You know that I, that I, that I, I said I need ya
Hey, I need ya
Now, band, can you make dirty? Can you make it burn, band?
Can you make it funky? Can you, can you? Ah!
[Verse 4]
Come on down
Ha, get it, band, come on, do it
Band
Tell me, can you make it funky funk?
Come on, band, can you?
Will you make it funky if you know I got the funky song?
[Verse 5]
Baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't go
[Verse 6]
I can't stand it when you touch my heart
I can't stand it 'cause I need a brand new start
I said my body's warm, my temperature's going up
Got to, got to
[Verse 7]
Baby, baby baby, baby, baby
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman such a good thing
I said woman, you a good thing
Said woman, you a good thing
Woman, you a good thing
Woman, you a good thing
Woman, you a good thing
Woman, ha
[Verse 8]
Tell me, do you love me so? Come on, get it
Tell me that you know you want my lovin'
Tell me, can you want me? Do it, do you love me?
I make it funky 'cause you love me 'cause I'm
[Verse 9]
Baby, can you make it funky now?
Baby, can you make it funky now?
Do it like you wanna do it
Do it like you wanna do it when you need it
Tell me, do you want it? Said, do you need it?
Tell me, do you want it now?
Tell me, do you need it now? Tell me
Tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, hey
Tell me, do you want it? Do you need it?
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya, I, I, I, I...
