You got me shook up, shook down, shook out On your loving, on your loving I want a girl with extensions in her hair Bamboo earrings, at least two pair A Fendi bag and a bad attitude That's all I need to get me in a good mood She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop Once she gets pumping it's hard to make the hottie stop She likes to dance to the rap jam She sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams Honey coated complexion, using Camay Let's hear it for the girl, she's from around the way I need an around the way girl Around the way girl That's the one for me She's the only one for me I need an around the way girl (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) Silky, milky her smile is like sunshine That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme To all the cuties in the neighborhood 'Cause if I didn't tell you then another brother would Your sweet like sugar with your gangster talk Want to eat you like a cookie when I see you walk With your rayon, silk or maybe even denim It really doesn't matter as long as you're in them You can break hearts and manipulate minds Or surrender act tender be gentle and kind You always know what to say and do Cold flip when you think your man is playing you Not cheap or petty, you're ready for loving You're real independent so your parents be bugging But if you ever need a place to stay Come around my way I need an around the way girl Around the way girl That's the one for me She's the only one for me (To the bridge) I need an around the way girl (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) Perm in your hair or even a curly weave With your New Edition Bobby Brown button on your sleeve I tell you come here, you say meet me half way 'Cause brothers been popping that game all day Around the way you're like a neighborhood jewel All the home boys sweat you so you're crazy cool Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts While you watching all the brothers on the basketball court Going to the movies with your homegirl's crew While the businessmen in suits be hawking you Baby, hair pumping, lip gloss is shining I think you in the mood for whining and dining So we can go out and eat somewhere We got a lot of private jokes to share Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee I love you, you're from around the way I need an around the way girl Around the way girl That's the one for me She don't love him (You got me shook) I need an around the way girl An around the way girl Fine as can be I need an around the way girl That's the one for me I need an around the way girl Fine as can be (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) (You got me shook up, shook down) (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) (You got me shook up, shook down) (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) (You got me shook up, shook down) (You got me shook up, shook down, shook out on your loving) (You got me shook up, shook down)
