Detroit Girl

[Intro]

Motor City, Detroit city

It’s the one and only, the infamous, Raphael, Saadiq

[Verse 1]

Detroit girl, listen to me

I’m from Oakland, California, lady

They say that our cities alike

But it’s you that I like

Can I spend the night in your town, lady?

Detroit girl, you told me your name

And I’ve never been the same, no I haven’t

I love the way you carry yourself

You’re kinda ghetto but yet sexy

That’s just the way it works for me, yeah

[Chorus]

I need your whole seven (Oh yeah)

I like what you do to me (Hey)

I wanna set you up (Set you up)

Come let me make you, I say, Detroit lady

[Verse 2]

Now Detroit girl, I’m loving your taste

And that chain around your waist—you know I do

I love the way you’re turning it on

That’s why I’m writing this song

Because I’m loving your style, baby

Now Detroit girl, can you come to my town?

I would love to show you off to my friends

I know what they might say when they meet you

They might say something like, “Ray Ray, you’re a fool”

Now Detroit girl, can you come to my town?

I would love to show you off to my friends

I know what they might say when they meet you

They might say something like, “Ray Ray, you’re a fool”
