Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on, baby
Ow
[Verse 2]
Wha-oh-a-wha-oh-wha-oh
Uh
[Verse 3]
Oh, if you wanna see other guys
Baby, I could let it slide
You wanna lover, you want a friend
Mama I can be both of them
I got the tools, to satisfy
Just walk away
If I fall shy at all
[Verse 4]
Come on baby, finish what ya started
I'm incomplete
That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted
I need some sympathy
[Verse 5]
I like to look at the long run
I like to take each step, one by one
Right on time, you will arrive
By keepin' the dream alive
[Verse 6]
It's alive
And it's kickin'
Inside of me
So come on baby, please
[Verse 7]
Come on baby finish what ya started
Oh! I'm incomplete
That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted
Ow! Come on and finish me
[Verse 8]
(Baby come on)
(Come on baby, you say yeah)
(Baby come on)
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, bay-yeah)
[Verse 9]
Now come on baby
Please
Oh baby, come on
[Verse 10]
(Come on baby finish what ya started)
(That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted)
Oh, oo-ow-oo-ow-oo-ow
(Come on baby finish what ya started)
Whoo! Gimme, ah
[Verse 11]
(That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted)
(Baby come on)
Take each step baby, one by one
(Baby come on)
Yeah, come on
(Baby come on)
I got the tools. I'll satisfy ya
Come on baby
(Baby come on)
Wow-oo-ow-oo-ow! Yeah
(Baby come on)
(Baby come on)
(Baby come on)
So come on baby
(Baby come on)
So come on baby
(Baby come on)
Yeah
Uh, come on
