[Spoken Intro: Morris Day]
Yo, Stella, if you think I'm afraid of you

Girl, if you dream I came to jerk around
You better wake up and release it

[Verse 4: Morris Day & Jerome Benton]
Over and over and over and over and over
Your girlfriend told you that I'm the rover
But I'm here to scold ya that if you live alone
Then we can bone (Hey)

And I am so, if you say no
Instead of crying, I'll keep trying
Until you're dying to have me for your own
So peep Stella, peep Stella

If you think that I'm afraid of you (Rap to her)
If you think that I can't do the do (Yeah, papa)

You better wake up, Stella (Wake up), this is my town
