Lyrics

If I Want To

Everytime I look up
I see it in your face
You wanna hook up with me
(You know you wanna hook up, stop playin')

Instead of acting like you supposed to
You cop an attitude like you're too good for me
(We know that ain't right)
And you know good and damn well that

If I wanted I could take you from ya man
(Please believe it)
With my eyes closed
I could have you eatin' out the palm of my hand

And all your little girlfriends too
(No, you can't get with me and I want you)
Yes, I can and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby

Ain't nobody trying clown you
But you too damn old to play high school games with me
(You know that man too damn old)
Yes, you do, 'cause even when I'm not around you
I be hearin' from my friends you be askin' 'bout me
(What's up with him? That's what you be sayin')

I don't really care
How long you been together with your man
It's just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
I wanna make it clear
So there's no misunderstanding

That I get
(That I get)
What I want
(What I want)
When I want
(Is that a fact)

If I wanted I could take you from ya man
(Please believe it)
With my eyes closed
I could have you eatin' out the palm of my hand

And all your little girlfriends too
(No, you can't get with me and I want you)
Yes, I can and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby

If I wanted I could take you from ya man
(Please believe it)
With my eyes closed
I could have you eatin' out the palm of my hand

And all your little girlfriends too
(No, you can't get with me and I want you)
Yes, I can and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby

(Look out, yeah, oh, U.S.)
That I get what I want, when I want
(You know how it go, girl)
If I want to
If I wanted to
I could have you doin' whatever I want you to

You know, right now I'm just not really doin' that
But if I wanted to, anything I'm sayin'
You and your girls, I could have them too
It's crazy, listen

If I wanted, I could take you from ya man
(I could take you, please believe it)
With my eyes closed
I could have you eatin' out the palm of my hand

And all your little girlfriends too
(No, you can't get with me and I want you)
Yes, I can and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby

If I wanted, I could take you from ya man
(If I wanted, no I can't, I just take you from ya man)
(Whenever I want to, I get, but I like it, that's it, oh, oh)
With my eyes closed
I could have you eatin' out the palm of my hand

And all your little girlfriends too
(No, you can't get with me and I want you)
Yes, I can and I will if I, if I want to
If I, if I want to, baby
