Lyrics

Thug Style

You changed the game, I like your thug style
Hey, you, it's me, turn the music down
So you can hear my invitation
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Now what I want you to do is come through
To the crib right now without hesitation
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So don't ask me what I want
'Cause I want you to hurry up
And get over here to see me
Act just like you need me
Hurry, hurry, hurry, got ten minutes
Tick, tock, where ya at?
Looking at my clock, it's about that time
Knock, knock, there you is
I've been waitin' on you for a long, long time
Baby, don't stop, stop
I don't mind if you make me hot, hot
'Cause I'mma keep your love on lock, lock, lock
Oh (yeah), oh (yeah)
You changed the game, I like your thug style
When I'm around you, you always make me smile
Ooh, you're so exciting, come on, don't deny me
Oh, let's take our time, oh, let's do it right
Oh, you changed the game, I like your thug style
Now my parents are gone
I know you can't believe it's me who needed to see you
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Nobody's home, we can kick all night
I know that you don't have a curfew
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Now don't move too fast
But don't move too slow
Baby, catch the rhythm that I'm givin' you
Ooh, I love the rhythm, I'm feelin' you
Tick, tock, where ya at?
Looking at my clock, it's about that time
Knock, knock, there you is
I've been waitin' on you for a long, long time
Baby, don't stop, stop
I don't mind if you make me hot, hot
'Cause I'mma keep your love on lock, lock, lock
Oh (yeah), oh (yeah)
You changed the game, I like your thug style
When I'm around you, you always make me smile
Ooh, you're so exciting, come on, don't deny me
Oh, let's take our time, oh, let's do it right
Oh, you changed the game, I like your thug style
Oh, it's that thug in you
That's got me wanting you like I do
Baby, now I can't wait for your love
I anticipate, oh
You can just tell your friends
That you won't be with them tonight
Baby, it's you and me
So put your hands up and feel this, oh
You changed the game, I like your thug style
When I'm around you, you always make me smile
Ooh, you're so exciting, come on, don't deny me
Oh, let's take our time, oh, let's do it right
Oh, you changed the game, I like your thug style (woo)
It's Ciara
And Jazze Pha
Oh, boy
You gotta love it
That's right
Woo
