Get It Down Like Dat
702 · Other Songs - 702
New in the neighborhood, looking good to me,
She's by your side, I can't deny,
Got to know your name.
You turn around, you see me,
Now I think its love I've found.
My friends think I'm crazy,
But I don't care cause baby,
I get down...
Chorus:
I get down like dat,
Be like dat,
I won't fret,
She's no threat to me.
(It may seem wrong, it's all about what I want and sometimes...)
Can I be like dat,
It's on like dat,
I'm gon' get ya,
If I like what I see.
Verse Two:
Your on my mind I think your fine,
But your with her (And I don't care),
Can't let you get away.
I want you just because she pulls you,
Turns you, trys so hard to take your eyes away.
It's too late and you know it,
'Cause I got you in a daze,
I get down...
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Tell me am I wrong,
To go for what I like?
When she holds you tight,
You want me, it's only right.
And I don't care,
Her name's not stamped on you,
That means she don't own you,
I'm gonna make you mine.
Repeat Chorus to fade
