[Intro: Q-Tip]
Do I love you?
Do I lust for you?
Am I a sinner because I do the two?
Can you let me know
Right now, please
Bonita Applebum
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
Hey Bonita, glad to meet ya
For the cunning, stunning you, miss, I must beseech ya
Hey, being with you is a top priority
Ain't no need to question the authority
Chairman of the board, the chief of affections
You got mine's to swing in your direction
Hey, you're like a hip hop song, you know?
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
38-24-37 (mmm, mmm, mmm!)
You and me, hun, we're a match made in heaven
I like to kiss ya where some brothers won't
Listen up…I like to tell ya things some brothers don't
If only you could see through your elaborate eyes
Only you and me, hun, the love never dies
Satisfaction, I have the right tactics
And if you need 'em, I got crazy prophylactics
So far, I hope you like rap songs
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
