Full Control
Shaggy · Lucky Day [2002]
It's a dedication, Barington Levy, Shaggy
I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role
I'm talkin' all the honeys to my left
Sophisticated ladies are the one who set the trends
Ladies who don't hang around with no progressive friends
They don't have no time to play a silly game
Shallow mans are all the same
All the fellas who get played
Not because they pour the drinks, it means they're gettin' laid
Show her some respect an' maybe you wouldn't have been played
Yo, now you're lookin' kinda dumb, I bet this pants are tiresome
I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role
Beep beep, dude's pager goin' off
Car keys spinnin' on his finger, showin' off
Bet he thinks all the hyper love, the latest stuff
It takes more than flashiness for home girl to be impressed
Ladies want be be adored
Ladies want a real man to keep them reassured
Forget about the cash, she wants a heart to be secured
He's not gonna sacrifice the pack, can't hang with, step aside
I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role
She's alright
It don't matter what you want to offer her
Because she's been around the world
You're so right
Bet your thinkin' that she's confident woman
Remember, she's an independent girl
She's alright
It don't matter what you want to offer her
Because she's been around the world
You're so right
Bet your thinkin' that she's confident woman
Remember, she's an independent girl
I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role
I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role
A lot of ladies, you know, strong women
You know what I'm sayin'?
[Incomprehensible]
Self made, I'm lovin' ya, Shaggy, alright
