How 'Bout It Baby?

New York City 2006

I took a little trip downtown to the Fish

And as I walked in before I ordered my drink

I caught a glimpse of a beauty that tickled me pink

So listen

She walked by right in front of the jukebox

My jaw dropped, seemed like even the tune stopped

We exchanged a glance

I took a chance and followed her to make an advance

Cause I could not control it

I knew that she could see I noticed it too

And I was hoping that it was more than just another trip to the door

She might as well have been ridin' a clamshell

And by the inner beauty that a lyricist can't spell

And even though I knew that she'd probably play me

I was like, "how 'bout it baby?"

She went outside to talk to a friend

I didn't wanna interrupt her & try to cut in

But then her friend said hello

She needed a flame and luckily I had a match and I told her my name

And we all chit chatted and we headed inside

I didn't wanna suffocate her, she was feeling my vibe

So I played the wall

But before she left we had a quick conversation and I was impressed

I said, "What's your job and whatcha wanna do next?

Why d'ya look my way?"

She didn't wanna say

"What's your favourite flower? Is it roses?"

I listened up and she took it away

She said, "What's your sign and what time were you born at?

Where did you grow up?"

Leo, 5 and Philly

"What's your background? How can I describe you?"

A black Jew, I'm silly but how 'bout it baby?

Even if I knew that she was married when I met her

I could never understand exactly why I sweat her

She got me hot and bothered and she didn't want a dollar

I wanna thank her mama and her father for the honor

But wait

She's separated

Outrageous

But I was sorta shallow

I couldn't escape the fact that I was attracted to her aloe vera

Smooth epidermis

And to this day she makes me nervous
