Lyrics:

(You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving)

(On your loving)



I want a girl with extensions in her hair

Bamboo earrings

At least two pair

A Fendi bag and a bad attitude

That's all I need to get me in a good mood

She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang

I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing

Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop

Once she gets pumping its hard to make the hottie stop

She likes to dance to the rap jam

She sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams

Honey coated complexion

Using Camay

Lets hear it for the girl she's from around the way



CHORUS

I need an around the way girl

Around the way girl

That's the one for me

She's the only one for me

I need an around the way girl

(You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving)



Silky, milky her smile is like sunshine

That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme

To all the cuties in the neighborhood

Cause if I didn't tell you then another brother would

Your sweet like sugar with your gangster talk

Want to eat you like a cookie when I see you walk

With your rayon, silk or maybe even denim

It really doesn't matter as long as you're in them

You can break hearts and manipulate minds

Or surrender act tender be gentle and kind

You always know what to say and do

Cold flip when you think your man is playing you

Not cheap but petty

You're ready for loving

You're real independent so your parents be bugging

But if you ever need a place to stay

(Oooh you love me)

Come around my way



CHORUS

I need an around the way girl

Around the way girl

That's the one for me

She's the only one for me

To the bridge

I need an around the way girl

(You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving)



Perm in your hair or even a curly weave

With that New Edition Bobby Brown button on your sleeve

I tell you come here

You say meet me half way

Cause brothers been popping that game all day

Around the way you're like a neighborhood jewel

All the home boys sweat you so you're crazy cool

Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts

While you watching all the brothers on the basketball court

Going to the movies with your home girls crew

While the businessmen in suits be hawking you

Baby, hair pumping, lip gloss is shining

I think you in the mood for whining and dining

So we can go out and eat somewhere

We got a lot of private jokes to share

Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee I love youYou're from around the way



CHORUS

I need an around the way girl

Around the way girl

That's the one for me

She don't love him

(You got me shook)

I need an around the way girl

An around the way girl

Fine as can be

(Oooh you love me)

She oh yea

I need an around the way girl

Around the way girl

That's the one for me

The only one for me

I need an around the way girl

An around the way girl

Fine as can be

(You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving)

(You got me shook up shook down shook out)

(till fade)
