Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Baby girl, tell me how you feel)
[Verse 2]
I, I like the way, way, you get down, down
(That's the way I like it)
You're the kind of guy that makes mom feel proud
You don't have to show you're the boy, oh
I, I like you the way that you are
[Verse 3]
I like my man undercover
Smooth dark brotha
Fly to the bone
Don't need no fly Jeep
To come and scoop me
You can drive what you own
(That's the way I like it)
A man undercover
Smooth black brotha
Fly to the bone
Don't need no Gucci sweater
To make you look better
You can wear what you own
[Verse 4]
I, I love, love the way that you smile, smile
You, you the type of guy
That got his own style
All I want to do is be with you
You, you got me feelin'
The way that I do
[Verse 5]
I like my man undercover
Smooth dark brotha
Fly to the bone
(Fly)
Don't need no fly Jeep
To come and scoop me
You can drive what you own
(That's the way I like it)
A man undercover
Smooth black brotha
Fly to the bone
(Fly)
Don't need no Gucci sweater
To make you look better
You can wear what you own
(Baby, wear what you own)
[Verse 6]
Uh huh
Say it two times
You look good, good
Uh huh
Say it three times
You look good, good, good
Say it four times
Good, good, good, good
[Verse 7]
Let me pick you up in my Jeep
Listen to this phat LP
Let's cruise around the town
I'm diggin' you, are you diggin' me?
Let's hop on my Harley Dave
It costs about 20K
What it takes to me to persuade
Turnin' your night into day
[Verse 8]
I never seen a girl
Who hypnotize like you
Who walk just like you
Who talk just like you
I wanna be your lover
That ill type brother
Baby girl, baby girl
We can keep it undercover
[Verse 9]
A man undercover
Smooth dark brotha
Fly to the bone
(Say what? Mmm-hmm)
Don't need no fly Jeep
To come and scoop me
You can drive what you own
(That's the way I like it)
A man undercover
Smooth black brotha
Fly to the bone
Don't need no Gucci sweater
To make you look better
You can wear what you own
[Verse 10]
(Baby)
A man undercover
Smooth dark brotha
Fly to the bone
(Like that, like that, like that, baby)
Don't need no fly Jeep
To come and scoop me
You can drive what you own
(That's the way I like it)
A man undercover
(Need a girl undercover)
I need a girl undercover
(Say what? Smooth like this, girl)
(One more time)
That's the way I like it
