Ooh, Comin' on strong, six pack showin',
Oh, He's too cool for his own shoes,
Ooh, Nothin' rude, but way too sure for me!
He try to be extra smooth, extra smooth
Extra cool extra cute,

Don't come tryna be extra smooth,
So, he got line for line, wastin' my time
Frontin in the ride tryna to catch my eye
Disturbin' my groove tryna be smooth
Get the boot
Boy you can go 'head
And work on yourself another quick romance
