Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of you
It is true, the makings of you
[Verse 2]
Boy, you remind me
Remind me of my Gucci shoes
Every time you walk past
All the girls be lookin' at you
You got style just like a Bentley coupe
And I be losing my mind
Every time I get next to you
[Verse 3]
I think I'm falling in love with you
Baby, caught up in something
That's moving so fast
Never been with nobody else
You and I tighter than the jeans on my ass
You remind me of these things
Someone like R. Kelly singin' 'bout a Jeep
Boy, you're everything to me
And you're my, you're my, you're my property (Oh)
[Verse 4]
Boy, you remind me
Remind me of the ice on my rings (Ice on my rings)
Boy, you remind me of this (Uh)
[Verse 5]
(These are the makings of you)
(It is true, the makings of you) These are, you
[Verse 6]
You remind me of the very first time
You remind me of the time we made love
Just like the twenty-fifth day of Christmas
Waiting for Santa Claus to show up
[Verse 7]
You got a heart of gold
Baby, you should know
Baby, you remind me of so much
And baby, you always stay on my mind
'Cause like my rings you shine (You're just like my rings that shine)
[Verse 8]
Boy, you remind me of 26's in my car (Oh, on my ride)
Completely spinning around
Lookin' like a superstar
Boy, you remind me
Of how life's supposed to be (How life's supposed to be)
This is what you remind me
And you're my, you're my property (Oh)
[Verse 9]
Looking at you look at another, baby
I don't need another brother (I don't need, I don't need)
Satisfy my mind to the fullest
And my body, there's no pressure, baby
[Verse 10]
You know I keep it so real
And I can't help you got that whip appeal
What's the deal? Tell me how you feel
Could it be me, me for eternity?
[Verse 11]
Like the ice on my wrist
It's like kick on my hip
M.A.C. on my lips, armor oil on my whip
Butter on my shrimp
I'm the Gladys, you the Pip
I keep my hair flipped
The way you like to see me strip
Keep a money clip
You remind me of a tip
Like a pair of jeans from Abercrombie when they rip
Like a glass of wine and every time I take a sip
It's you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[Verse 12]
Boy, you remind me
Remind me of my Gucci shoes (Aw, baby)
Every time you walk past
All the girls be lookin' at you (Every time you come around, I lose my mind, babe)
You got style just like a Bentley coupe (You got, you got)
And I be losing my mind
Every time I get next to you (No, no, no, no)
[Verse 13]
(With a dozen roses)
(Such would astound you)
(The joy of children laughing around you)
(These are the makings of you)
(It is true, the makings of you) These, these are, you
