Can I Keep You Company

she stands 5 foot 3
and she's all by her self
doesn't make no sense to me
she's incredible
I'm wantin to approach
but I take it slow
n I make sure she's not with anybody
very insecure
so now that I'm sure
I slide in and sit right next to this shawty
and said correct me if I'm wrong
aren't u alone tonight
u got it goin on
ur everything I like
and I'm not tryna bother u
but if u don't mind
can I keep u company
baby can I keep u company
smilin at me now
such a pretty smile
I'm figurin her out
and I really dig her style
we have a couple drinks
have a couple laughs
suddenly the nights about to end
we have one more toast
then she pulls me close
then in my ear she starts whisperin
she said correct me of I'm wrong
aren't u alone tonight
u got it goin on
ur everything I like
and I'm not tryna bother u
but if u don't mind
can I keep u company
baby can I keep I company
