[Verse 1: Akon]
When I see you
I run out of words, to say (Ahh)
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay (Ahh)
I see the guys tryin' to holla
Girl, I don't wanna bother you
Cause you're independent, and you got my attention
Can I be yo' baby father?
Girl, I just wanna show you
That I love what you are doin' now

Like thе clouds you drift me away
Far away, yeah

[Verse 3: Kardinal Offishall]
Kardinal told you (you) what is it, sky blue or yellow
This fellow ain't that mellow if it ain't about you (you)
Hourglass shape make the place go "oooh"
Waistline makes my soldier salute
I'm a brute (brute) high from ya high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin in the fast lane, eyes like an angel
Goddess, watch my girl and how she hot dress
Spotless, hotness bad to the bone
Make me wanna bone, put me in a triple-X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk, with you, hold my hand
I'mma spend them grands but after you undress
Not like a hooker, but more like a princess
Queen, empress, president pull
Any way ya goin' off cause you're beautiful, okay?

[Hook: Akon]
I see you in the club, you gettin down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah

You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

[Verse 4: Akon & Colby O'Donis]
Where'd you come from? You're outta this world to me
You're a symbol of what every beautiful woman should be
Ooh wee
I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry (You cry)
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie (Ooh, yeah)
Said I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry (Oh)
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie (A lie)

[Chorus: Akon]
I see you in the club, you gettin down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful
