Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, special dedication

I'm sending this one out to

You, and you, and you, and you

I said, to you, and you, and you

[Verse 2]

She cold blooded

Love how we melting the ice

She like the sunshine of my life

'Cause all I see is a hot thing

You my hot thing, and you my hot thing, and you my hot thing

Word, you keep my dark sky lit up at night

So bright that you blinding my sight

'Cause all I see is a hot thing

You my hot thing, and you my hot thing, and you my hot thing

[Verse 3]

Word, your body like a flick

It got surprising twists, I write the script

The main character, your thighs and hips

The way you move the body got 'em stiff like a heiroglyph

I watch you dance across the floor to the title track

You about to get me off the wall like Michael Jack

I'll make describing your beauty my sacred duty

I will write a song, write a book, write a play, make a movie

[Verse 4]

Hey, hey, hey

Special dedication

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

[Verse 5]

Yo, I love your country ass, I love your city sass

I love how you know my ways, you catch up pretty fast

These dudes is pretty crass, harass you when you pass

I love how you snap back and get the last laugh

I love the way your crib smell like Votive candle incense

The white voice you use on the phone when you handle business

I love it when you freaky, I love when you a lady

Rocking door knockers from the late 80's, raising babies

I love how God blessed you, your body's something special

I love to play connect the dots with your facial freckles

No need for fashion policing because I love your style

Whatever happened to Shanice?

Baby, I love your smile

I might be falling in love, should I let her know?

A pimp told me if I love her, I should let her go

I sing her praises every time they place this instrumental

'Cause she instrumental to my life, to my life, to my, hey

[Verse 6]

Hey, hey, hey

Special dedication

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

Good lord, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

[Verse 7]

I love how we melting the ice

You like the sunshine of my life

'Cause all I see is a hot thing

You my hot thing, and you my hot thing, and you my hot thing

Word, you keep my dark sky lit up at night

So bright that you blinding my sight

'Cause all I see is a hot thing

You my hot thing, and you my hot thing, and you my hot thing

[Verse 8]

Word, let me take you by the hand

You need to try your man, don't fight it, damn

I'ma have your groupied out like excited fans

I promise you'll be climbing walls like Spider-Man

Knees buckling, you hit the floor when you try to stand

So you drop it like it's hot, oh so heavy

You and me, we can leave now, we can go steady

How about we be jetty because I'm so ready to bounce

Like a '64 Chevy

Word

[Verse 9]

Hey, hey, hey

Special dedication

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it

Good love, you a sexy thing

All I'm saying is you got something I like

Love that you like it, love that you like it, love that you like it
