Oh...oh....oh...yeah...
(10)
Mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...

If you need me, baby, I’m for real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah

We went through this before
Actin’ like the L’s can’t bag ‘em no more
Nightgown draggin’ on the heated marble floor
Flash Cartier when you open up the door, slide these on, baby
So butter, still relate to the gutter
Just your lifestyle’s different, spirit uplifted
Fell in love with a cat who’s gifted
Turn you back to paradise, damn, I missed it
Pop a bottle, light a purple candle
I got somethin that you can’t quite handle, that’s why you love me
Pour bubbly, glow from the flame make your skin shine lovely
I’m sayin’, baby
Touch it, why don’t ya, touch it, why don’t ya
Touch it, why don’t ya, touch it, why don’t ya
Hey, girl, ah, girl
Hey, girl, I wanna rock your world

If you need me, baby, I’m for real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Paradise is very nice)
If you want it, baby, just be real (Yeah)
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Uh, uh)
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah

Next phase is this
Black sand, Tahiti, 10 days to reminisce
God’s my witness
I paid the price for paradise, so I’m livin’ this
I never limit myself, the L’s fearless
Lay back while I illuminate the darkness
Like it smooth, don’t ya, make it move, won’t ya, think I won’t
Take you to your peak, I know them other cats don’t
And it won’t stop, this is beyond paper
First I get your mind right, then I might drape you
Never pimpin’, raise my girls well
Young thoroughbreds get schooled by Uncle L.L.
C double, L tattooed on the bubble
I lay the mink down, let you walk over a puddle
True love is so rare
But don’t you worry, I ain’t goin’ nowhere

If you need me, baby, I’m for real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (You know why, paradise is very nice)
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Uh, uh)
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah

Trust me, trust me, trust me, baby
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise
I’ll take you to paradise, ooh
So won’t you try me, try me, try this lady
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah

Belly to belly, one hand on the jelly
At the telly on the celly, get that money Ellie
Please believe it, if the mind can conceive it
Then the man can achieve it, you gotta breathe it
And I breathe deep, I’m one with the universe
Minimum, 10 percent go to God first
Lay back, baby, close your eyes
Ice on the pinky finger froze your thighs
So much shake, baby, the waterbed fries
Walk around nude in the suite yellin’, “Recognize”
Do your dance, baby, pour me a class
It feels so good to have the world in a smash
Touch it, why don’t ya, touch it, why don’t ya
Touch it, why don’t ya, touch it, why don’t ya
Hey, girl, ah, girl
Hey, girl, I wanna rock your world

If you need me, baby, I’m for real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Uh, uh, paradise is very nice)
If you want it, baby, just be real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Uh, paradise is very nice)
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah

Trust me, trust me (Yeah, yeah), trust me, baby
(Gotta to keep your eyes on the prize, baby)
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Sky’s the limit)
I’ll take you to paradise (If you could see it), ooh (You could be it)
So won’t you try me, try me, try this lady (It’s on you, word up)
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise
(Everybody put your hands in the air, it our time, baby)
I’m gonna give you all my love, yeah (On love, one love, recognize)

If you need me (Uh), just call me
Said if you want me, just be for real
And if you like me, come and talk to me
And if you want me, tell me how you feel

If you need me, baby, I’m for real
The rest of your life I’ll take you to paradise (Paradise is very nice)
If you want it, baby, just be real
