  • Hey baby, where you going?
    No please don't rush off so soon
    If you leave me like this
    What I'm gonna do

    Finally my eyes are open
    I dream about you all night long
    The only thing that I've been hoping for
    Is before you to go to work babe, we get it on
    I ain't tryin' to make you blush
    But I just wanted to tell ya, I think you're great
    I know you're late, but I need another taste
    Breakfast can wait!

    Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam
    Can't nobody cook it like you girl
