C

On my way to see my friends

who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)

As I walked through the subway

it must have been about quarter past three

In front of me
stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body

She asked me for the time

I said it'd cost her name

a six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine

Did she decline? No

Didn't she mind? I don't think so

Was it for real? Damn sure

What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24

So was she keen? She couldn't wait

Cinnamon queen? let me update

What did she say? She said she'd love to

rendezvous

She asked me what we were gonna do

said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two

Chorus

Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

I met this girl on Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Verse 2

Nine was the time

cos I'll be getting  mine

and she was looking fine

Smooth talker

she told me

She'd love to unfold me all night long

Ooh I loved the way she kicked it

from the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the way she kicked it
And I oh oh I yeah

hope that she'd care

cos I'm a man who'll always be there

Ooh yeah

I'm not a man to play around baby

Ooh yeah

cos a one night stand isn't really fair

From the first impression girl hmm you don't seem to be like that

Cos there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty for that

From the subway to my home

endless ringing of my phone

When you feeling all alone

all you gotta do

is just call me call me

Chorus

Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

I met this girl on Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Bridge

(Break it down, uh break it down)

Since I met this special lady

ooh yeah

I can't get her of my mind

She's one of a kind

And I ain't about to deny it

It's a special kind thing

with you-oh.......

Chorus

Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

I met this girl on Monday

took her for a drink on Tuesday

we were making love by Wednesday

and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Alright (can you fill me in)
Come on
Can you fill me in (lets talk about it)

I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out
She phoned said "Hey boy, come on right around"
So I knocked on the door
You were standing with a bottle of red wine ready to pour
Dressed in long black satin laced to the floor
So I went in then we sat down
Started kissing caressing
Told me 'bout jacuzzi sounded interesting
So I jumped right in

All calls diverted to answer phone
Please leave a message after the tone

I mean me and her parents were kind of cool
But they were a fine line between me and you
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to

<< Chorus 1>>
Saying why were you creeping down late last night
Did I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light
Now your dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white
Can you fill me in?

Calls diverted to answer phone
Red wine bottle half the contents gone
Midnight return, jacuzzi turned on
Can you fill me in?

Whenever the coast was clear and she'd ask me to come round
I'd say "Hey girl, come on right around"
So she knocked on the door
I was standing with the keys in my hand to the 4 X 4
Jumped in my ride checking that nobody saw
The club we went in
We got down bounce bounce to the rhythm
Saw it was early morning
Thought we better be leaving
So I gave you my jacket for you to hold
Told you to wear it 'cos you felt cold

I mean me and her didn't mean to break the rules
I weren't trying to play her mum and dad for fools
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to

<< Chorus 2 >>
Saying why don't you keep your promises no more
Say you'll be home by 12
Come stroling in at 4
Out with the girls but leaving with the boy next door
Can you fill me in?

Wearing a jacket, who property
Said you were queing for a taxi
But you left all your money on the TV
Can you fill me in?

All they seem to do is be checking up on you, baby
Watching your every move think someday they might approve?, baby

<< Chorus 1 & 2>>

Craig David this is how we do it (This is how we do it)
Yeah well come on check it out

getting jiggy just for fun

Six o'clock in the morning wipe the sleep from my eyes (yeah)
Felt just like an ordinary day
Just around the corner, such a surprise, a beautiful angel materialised
Time stood still face to face
I'm sure we'd met in another time and place (met in another time and place)

Our eyes met as you passed me by (passed me by)
Two souls entwined in the blink of an eye (yeah)
And I had to figure out what I'd be missing
So I turned to you and asked you if you wanted to
(You know we'll be getting some getting jiggy just for fun)

Rendezvous where to my place say 2 & we can do anything you wanna do
Hey, tonight is your night yeah
Where you close your eyes, take a minute, take a moment realise
Do you see me when you fantiasise
Tonlight'll be your night

I'm just sitting here daydreaming about you and all the things you do
Girl feels so right
And all I know is your the one for me, that special kinda' lady
In my life, in my life

Well here I am writing you a love song
Holding back those years, it's been so long
And I can't deny the way that I'm feeling (feeling)
It's true, so girl that's why I'm asking you, can we...

Chorus

Darling tell me, what's on your mind? what are you thinking
Hey what you thinking?
Hey what you thinking?
Darling tell me what's on you mind?
What's on your mind yeah?
Darling what are you thinking
Now darling what are you thinking...

Chorus

I'm just sitting here daydreaming about you and all the things you do
Girl feels so right
And all I know is your the one for me, that special kinda lady
In my life, in my life yeah

Whatcha doing cos we'll be rendezvousing & you know we'll be getting some



Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Such a sexy, sexy, pretty little thing

Fierce nipple pierce

You got me sprung with your tongue ring 

And I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high

So to keep you by my side

There's nothing that I won't try

Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill

Time is passing

I'm asking, could this be real

'Cause I can't sleep, I can't hold still

The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal

I can feel too much is never enough

You're always there to lift me up

When these times get rough

I was lost, now I'm found 

Ever since you've been aroun

You're the women that I want 

So yo, I'm putting it down

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

I don't deserve you 

Unless it's some kind of hidden message 

To show me life is precious

Then I guess it's true

To tell truth, I really never knew 'til I met you 

I was lost and confused

Twisted and used up

Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it

My lifestyle's wild

I was living like a wild child

Trapped on a short leash

Paroled the police files

And yo, what' s happening now?

I see the sun breaking

Shining through dark clouds 

And a vision of you standing out in a crowd

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me

The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me

So whatever tickles your fancy

Girl, it's you like Sid and Nancy

So sexy, almost evil

Talkin' about butterflies in my head

I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read

But you made me feel alive when I was almost dead

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase

And as far as I can see, it don't get better than this

So butterfly, here is a song 

And it's sealed with a kiss and a thank you miss

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

Come my lady

Come, come my lady

You're my butterfly

Sugar baby

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

Sometimes people get me wrong, when it's something I've said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun, that's why you turn and run
But now I truly realise, some people don't wanna compromise
Well, I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies, and
Well I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say lady

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away

Well, I'm so tired baby
Things you say, you're driving me away
Whispers in the powder room baby, don't listen to the games they play
GirlI thought you'd realise, I'm not like them other guys
Cos I saw them with my own eyes, you should've been more wise and
Well I don't wanna live my life, too many sleepless nights
Not mentioning the fights, I'm sorry to say

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
