Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you need me, baby, I'm for real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 2]
We went through this before
Actin' like the L's can't bag 'em no more
Nightgown draggin' on the heated marble floor
Flash Cartier when you open up the door, slide these on, baby
[Verse 3]
So butter, still relate to the gutter
Just your lifestyle's different, spirit uplifted
Fell in love with a cat who's gifted
Turn you back to paradise, damn, I missed it
[Verse 4]
Pop a bottle, light a purple candle
I got somethin' that you can't quite handle, that's why you love me
Pour bubbly, glow from the flame
Make your skin shine lovely, I'm saying baby
[Verse 5]
Touch it, why don't 'cha? Touch it, why don't 'cha?
Touch it, why don't 'cha? Touch it, why don't 'cha?
Hey girl, aw, girl
Hey girl, I want to rock your world
[Verse 6]
If you need me, baby, I'm for real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
Paradise is very nice
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 7]
Next phase is this, black sand, Tahiti
Ten days to reminisce
God's my witness
I paid the price for paradise so I'm livin' this
[Verse 8]
I never limit myself, the L's fearless
Lay back while I illuminate the darkness
Like it smooth, don't cha?
Make it move, won't cha? Think I won't?
[Verse 9]
Take you to your peak, I know them other cats don't
And it won't stop, this is beyond paper
First I get your mind right then I might drape ya
Never pimpin', raise my girls well
[Verse 10]
Young thoroughbreds get schooled by uncle LL
See double, L tattooed on the bubble
I lay the mink, let you walk over a puddle
True love is so rare but don't you worry, I ain't going nowhere
[Verse 11]
If you need me, baby, I'm for real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
You know why? Paradise is very nice
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 12]
Trust me, trust me, trust me, baby
Rest of life I'll take you to paradise
I'll take you to paradise, oh
So won't you try me? Try me, try this lady
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 13]
Belly to belly, one hand on the jelly
At the telly on the celly, get that money, Elle
Please believe it if the mind can conceive it
Then the man can achieve it, you gotta breathe it
[Verse 14]
And I breathe deep, I'm one with the universe
Minimum, ten percent go to God first
Lay back, baby, close your eyes
Ice on the pinky finger, froze your thighs
[Verse 15]
So much shade, baby, the water bed fries
Walk around nude in the suite yelling, recognize
Do your dance, baby, pour me a glass
It feels so good to have the world in a smash
[Verse 16]
Touch it, why don't 'cha? Touch it, why don't 'cha?
Touch it, why don't 'cha? Touch it, why don't 'cha?
Hey girl, aw, girl
Hey girl, I want to rock your world
[Verse 17]
If you need me, baby, I'm for real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
Paradise is very nice
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 18]
Trust me, trust me, trust me, baby
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'll take you to paradise, oh
So won't you try me? Try me, try this lady
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
I'm gonna give you all my love, yeah
[Verse 19]
If you need me
Just call me
Said if you call me
Just be for real
[Verse 20]
And if you like me
Come and talk to me
And if you want me
Tell me how you feel
[Verse 21]
If you need me, baby, I'm for real
The rest of your life I'll take you to paradise
Paradise is very nice
