What We Do (For Love)

Dorsey Wesley, Ricky Walters, Kelvin Mercer, Vincent Mason, David Jolicoeur

I'm tired (me too)
Uncle Ricky (hmm?)
Could you tell us a bedtime story, like you used to? (Look)
Don't y'all think y'all too old for that now? (No)
Listen, I got an adult question for y'all
Since y'all like, eleven now (okay)
Y'all ever get horny? (Uncle Ricky)
Now I don't mean to sound perverted
But do you ever have like sexual urges? (No)
No? Well, you will, so sit your behind down
And listen to Uncle Ricky and De La
I'll tell y'all a grown up story (okay, alright)

I remember when mama spoke of the birds and
The east side kept me off the curb and
Betsy Ross was sufferin' from the scaredy cat
'Til my man Ricky brought the remedy for that
I'll massage your mink coat
Then part your leg's open
Stroke so hard you'll start to smell smoke
Ain't gotta drug problem but a love problem
But then again that may be one in the same, I claim possession
Pulled a girl among the eighth like Charlie Heston
Ride off on the horse and show no remorse
She look nice
Honey oriental, brown eyes
Want fries? Chicken, vegetable fried rice
And I'm tryna you to go
Fast attraction, grab some
"Oh, don't stop nasty black man"
Man that action had me coughin' up cars, keys and cash
Just to sniff a fat rabbit I would give my very last

(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
Just to get it started, for startin' something
Is what we do to get some lovin' (yeah)
What we do to get some lovin'
This what we do for love (for love)
This what we do for love (for love)
This what we do for love

You ain't lyin', I
I95 it, more like twelve to twelve
Can't get the thought off (sex)
From off my mental shelf
And I'm like Bruce Lee beatin' up the coochie profusely
My tomboy chicks that act a little too butchy
Receive this (uh) when my semen ceases
They'll be screamin' out, "We love being the female species"

Hello? (Veronica, it's Dave)
Um, look, I think you got the wrong number
What? (Veronica, your baby's crying)
Yo, chill (baby?)
Whatever, yo, later (girl, I'ma beat yo' ass)

Yo, for the past two summers, I been sizin' up Veronica
Southern belle, I heard she blow notes like a harmonica
Yarmulkes couldn't satisfy her spendin' fetishes
She was all about gettin' the head like she was lettuces
Yeah, them types be actin' like they ain't sleazy
Like this uptown chick playin' opposite of easy
Delighted, the honey fly dip I caught, can I fit? Tight
I seen the imprint on honey's private
Now she's love sick, Ruler Rick scores again
Sex present itself like trophies I'm out to win
And it's easier to claim through the fame I've obtained
Her mommy was a liar, she's so ashamed

(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
Just to get it started, for startin' something
Is what we do to get some lovin'
This what we do for love (for love)
This what we do for love

Well, I got this rude boy Jamaican honey at the rest home
Complete with yellow hair and Cinderella dress on (what happen?)
Been around, stuck her 'til she poppin' 'bout
"Hey, take your bloodclaat finger out mi bottom"
Anyway, another dime I met one time
Unkind chick in the world, but fine
And her structure pumpin'
'Til I gotcha mumblin' 'bout
"Slow down, what you tryin' to rupture somethin'?"
I don't bug out, I chill, never copped a feel
But these pretty ass girls come and flaunt the grill
Big ass eyes with the matchin' big ass thighs
Asked her could she spare a moment to exchange some lies
"But you got a girlfriend"
Yeah, trick, so do you
And I heard there's no preference in what gender you do
So stop playin' so squeaky clean and let the dirty side see me later
So we can play "wake the neighbors"
So stuck on the love, you rearranging behaviors
Second episode and you returnin' oral favors
Buyin' up groceries, searchin' for hosiery
Holdin' hands publicly and now you supposed to be
Mister and missus, huh? Lovin' and kisses, huh?
But while you away is when the milkman will visit her (yeah)
Dear to the heart, we dearly depart the fallen
Skip the games, ma, I stay tuned to the calling

(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
Just to get it started, for startin' something
Is what we do to get some lovin'
This what we do for love (for love)
This what we do for love (all together now)

(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
(When nature calls) you know them boys will come runnin'
(When nature calls) you know them girls don't mind comin'
