CHORUS:
Comin to break you off
I'm comin to break you off

1st verse
Bad misses throwing raspberry kisses on me
You looking for direction girl I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin we ain't 'sposed to be involved
Knowin when we get it off girl I mean it all
Keepin ya pheenin til you're taken and tossed
And when I'm breakin it off there's no denying the fact it's strong
Cuz you got a man who's probably playin his part
You probably breakin his heart
He's trying to figure the reason you gone

Is it cuz he's superficial?
Or is he too submissive?
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?
Or is it cuz you really couldn't see a future with him
All he bout is paper never took the time to choose or listen

You wanna get gripped up, flipped and thrown
And get strictly shown
The way to get in the zone. Of course,
Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Chorus

2nd verse
Brother down the hall
The one you bound to call
Workaholics are really I'm rarely around at all

What we started got serious reprecautions in court
We had a chance to turn back, but look now it's what
Late nights twistin something
Listenin to Neicey sing
She got the beef for you telling me you deeply
Appreciate the company, time we spend
I feel the same, it's a shame you ain't my girlfriend
Cuz listen, you need a brotha with the physical fix
Who come through in the mix
For you with no head tricks or fraud

You need a new position and who can get you open
Like eucalyptus and have ready to go for yours
Come on and work with me, you won't get hurt with me
Just keep it real and you'll get broken off certainly

Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Chorus

3rd verse
Rollin down the highway, listening to Sade sing
The way the Smooth Operator move my way
You sitting beside me
Looking like Friday Foster, Pam Grier structure
Look at your body

Keep each other thirsty, kisses like Hershey
But lips is sealed cuz we don't want the controversy
I say I'm in town, you say you want it in the worst way
You probably told your man it was your mother's birthday

Meanwhile it's champagne chillin on ice
You ready for the freakiest things you've done in your life
We break it down like road dogs pulling a heist
You makin sounds like the vibe gotcha reaching your height

Prepare for flight
This is your captain
I'm getting strapped in
There's no denying the strength that it's attraction
Girl working with this you won't be taking a loss
So stop fooling your man and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Bridge
Baby, baby, baby
Don't you worry bout
Nothing cuz I'm comin to
Handle you no doubt
Whenever you want that thing you need
I got it and I aim to please
I'm coming over to give it to you baby

Chorus (fade out)
