So boy forget about the world
'Cause it's gonna be me and you tonight
I wanna make you beg for it, then I'mma make you swallow your pride, Oh

Like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart

'Cause I'm the only one who understands
How to make you feel like a man, Yeah

And when you enter you ain't leaving be my prisoner for the night, Oh
Want you to make me feel

Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that's in command
'Cause I'm the only one who understands
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart, only one
Take me for a ride-ride
Oh Baby take me high-high
Let me make you rise-rise
Oh make it last all night-night
Take me for a ride-ride

Let me make you rise-rise
Make it last all night-night
Want you to make me feel

Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that's in command
'Cause I'm the only one who understands
How to make you feel like a man
Only girl in the world, girl in the world
Only girl in the world, girl in the world
