Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, baby
Ooh
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I just can't keep on going
I'm falling in love with you
I need to know if you want me for sure
We messed around for too long
I need a commitment
To make me feel I belong to someone
[Verse 3]
So if you'd like to
Then this is your chance to
I'm moving on without you
I gotta find another in me
You say you want me
Then you better show me
Come on and get to know me
And then you will find that I want you
And I feel the same
We ought to be sure, I know by now
But if we can prove our love
[Verse 4]
Like this and like that
I'm gonna move along
Like this and like that
Yeah
Like this and like that
Like this and like that
Yeah
Like this and like that
I'm gonna move along
[Verse 5]
You are that special to me
Don't wanna lose you, no
I've gotten used to the way we hang out
No way to understand me
You said one day we'll be
But I can't wait around to see
[Verse 6]
So if you'd like to
Then this is your chance to
I'm moving on without you
I gotta find another, baby
You say you want me
Then you better show me
Come on and get to know me
And then you will find that I want you
And feel the same
We ought to be sure, I know by now
But if we can prove our love
[Verse 7]
Like this and like that
I'm gonna move along
I want you an I feel the same
We ought to be sure, I know by now
But if we can prove our love
Like this and like that
I'm gonna move along
[Verse 8]
I feel the roof coming out, 'cuz
I feels a whoop coming on cuz I said whoop, there it was
Take the time to hold the kisses as I dismiss this rhyme
It go engine engine, who's the Gemini?
Well it's the Mr. and Mrs., the brothers and sisters it goes
Like that and like this as conflict kicks flows
It was one of those days, not much to do
So what, I strut to the mall, just to buy a thing or two
And I met a wise guy playing a harmonica
By him was Forxy Brown, go now, she says I'm Monica
Monica, oh yeah, Monica so she say
I be the M-A-L-I-K
Excuse me miss thang, my God, you look smooth
Put away your loot, you all in with me, boo
She said oh no 'cause I'm rather above you
Not to get on your nerve but haven't you served a star or two?
Only the ones with no class, the ones with no shape
Shine on 'em like a diamond in the rain off the windowpane
It's spitting on your kitten, can I slobber too?
Of course I got the sauce to put on the barbecue
Well if tonight is tonight like Betty Wright
CanI see you as I dig you, girl, you out of sight
Well I say, funny as it seems but I must reveal
You're the chocolate as you jock it with that sex appeal
That's you
[Verse 9]
Like this and like that
We ought to be sure, I know by now
But if we can prove our love
Like this and like that
I'm gonna move along
I want you
Like this and like that
We ought to
Like this and like that
But if we can prove our love...
